Samsunspor Suffer Seven Straight League Defeats for the First Time in Club History

Samsunspor could not keep up the poor run that began with a 2-0 home defeat to Fenerbahce in Week 3 of the Super Lig. In this period the red and whites also failed to take points against Kocaelispor, Corum FK, Erzurumspor, Trabzonspor, Kasimpasa and Amed Sportif Faaliyetler. Most recently, a 2-1 home defeat to Amed Sportif Faaliyetler meant the team has not won in seven consecutive matches.

In these matches Samsunspor found the back of the net 3 times while conceding 18 goals. The team averaged 0.43 goals scored and 2.57 goals conceded per match. Their heaviest defeat came at home against Corum FK, a 5-1 scoreline.

Following the results in the first half of the season, the club parted ways with Thorsten Fink and appointed Nenad Bjelica in his place. In the Croatian coach's first match, Samsunspor lost 4-1 to Kasimpasa, and then left the pitch with a 2-1 defeat to Amed Sportif Faaliyetler.

The club is known to have suffered six consecutive league defeats previously, in 1998, 2006 and 2023. However, this season's run went a step further, and for the first time in club history, Samsunspor have lost seven league matches in a row.
