Mid-table Kasımpaşa look to convert steady momentum into three points against a managerless Samsunspor side searching for traction after a difficult opening stretch.
Kasımpaşa sit ninth on 10 points after seven matches, having made a stable start to the campaign. They are unbeaten in their last five league games (two wins, three draws), coming into this fixture after a 0-0 home stalemate against Konyaspor.
Samsunspor have endured a slow start, sitting 17th with four points from their first seven games. They have lost four consecutive matches—most recently a 1-0 defeat away at Erzurumspor FK—and travel to Istanbul without a permanent head coach, as the club works on an agreement with Nenad Bjelica following Thorsten Fink's departure while coach Emre Bayraktar oversees preparations.
