Samsun and Antep clash in Bank Asya League 1 opener
7 November 2009 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
Week 12 of the Bank Asya League 1 kicks off today, with Samsunspor hosting Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor at the 19 Mayıs Stadium in Samsun.
Going into this match whipping boy Samsunspor is second from bottom with eight points from 11 matches, while Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor is placed 14th with 10. So this in fact is a clash of lightweights. Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor is the bookmakers’ favorite, judging from the standings, but that’s only on paper. Samsunspor, backed by its home fans, is capable of springing a surprise. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m., and the referee will be Mustafa Öğretmenoğlu.
