It's been nine days since Göztepe met Manisa BBSK and the score was 1-1. What will happen versus Rizespor?

Insights:
  • Göztepe have the fewest conceded goals (24) in 1. Lig

Rizespor are staying put at 2nd place whatever happens for the rest of the season.

Rizespor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
