Samsunspor – Shkendija Tetovo Tip Conference League, play-off second leg on Thursday, 26/02/2026 at 18:45 CET
Since New Year’s Day, Samsunspor has successfully freed itself from its small season crisis and is now in the round of 16 of the Conference League with more than just one foot.
With reference to the first leg, I am clearly leaning towards the multi bet 1:0, 2:0 or 3:0 at Winamax Germany on Thursday at odds of around 2.50. No other Samsunspor Shkendija Tetovo tip appeals to me more at the moment!
The North Macedonians already showed hardly any offensive power in the first leg with an xG value of only 0.24. The fact that they also survived the league phase without a single away goal only strengthens my assumption that they will fail again against the opposing keeper.
Samsunspor vs. Shkendija Tetovo AI Predictions:
Our Samsunspor Shkendija Tetovo AI prediction still has some interesting suggestions up its sleeve, one of which I would like to highlight in particular. The betting offer Victory Samsunspor with HC -1 deserves your attention even at odds around 1.91.
Despite various injuries that temporarily took some of the home side’s key players out of circulation, the team under ex-Bayern player Thorsten Fink has found itself in a new, more effective direction since New Year.
They should have won more in the first leg: Their own xG value of 2.40 and Ntcham’s strong midfield performance would have deserved a 2-0 or even 3-0 rather than the narrow 1-0.

Samsunspor/Samsunspor also lights up on my value bet radar as a sensible AI suggestion. The odds of around 1.87 are attractive, as the Turks should already convert their superiority into a 1-0 or 2-0 lead at the change of ends.
The bet Under 3.5 goals at odds around 1.50, on the other hand, also has a positive expected value, strictly speaking, but I still consider it to be not very lucrative. In my assumption, only the hosts will score.
Consequently, you simply have more of my only minimally more aggressive Samsunspor Shkendija Tetovo tip – similar to how the Betano promo code has “more” in store for you. To be exact: a whopping 20 euros without prior deposit!
What you need to consider when betting on Samsunspor vs. Shkendija Tetovo
- Historic milestone for Turkey: With the 1-0 win in the first leg, Samsunspor achieved the first victory of a Turkish club against a club from North Macedonia on the European stage, after the previous six attempts had failed to win (1 draw, 5 defeats)
- Strong defence at home with a blemish: Samsunspor have kept a clean sheet in six of their nine European home games so far; however, the last international match in their own stadium in December 2025 was lost 2-1 to AEK Athens
- Shkendija’s hunt for the Vardar miracle: The visitors could become only North Macedonia’s second team to survive a European knockout round – a feat only achieved by Vardar Skopje in 1985/86 (also after a first-leg defeat)
- Away lull of the guests: The statistics speak against a turnaround for Shkendija; the club has lost all three away games so far this Conference League season and has not scored a goal of its own away from home
