Samsunspor vs Shkendija Prediction and Betting Tips 26 February 2026

Samsunspor head into the return meeting after a narrow 1–0 win last weekend, but the hosts face significant selection problems as Cetin, Coulibaly, and Sousa are all ruled out. As Samsun are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict a 2-1 home win. Offensively, the Turks have been inconsistent, failing to score in 40% of their matches, while averaging just 0.67 goals at home. Still, their defensive structure at home remains solid, keeping 67% clean sheets and conceding only 1.00 goal per home match. Their xG at home (2.01) suggests they create more than they convert, which could be decisive again.

Shkendija, meanwhile, welcome important attacking options Trumci and Latifi back from suspension, a boost considering they average 2.83 goals in away games and hold 1.50 PPG on the road. Their overall numbers show balance—scoring 1.40 and conceding 0.90—but their away record includes defensive lapses, with 0% clean sheets. Their xG away (1.76) indicates they can create chances even in tougher fixtures.

As Shkendija’s attack improves with Latifi and Trumci and with Samsunspor looking strong at home, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Samsunspor to win.

This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 26 February 2026 at 17:45.
