Competition: Turkey Super Lig
Competition: Mon 22.February
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Eryaman Stadyumu (22000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Eryaman Stadyumu haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Ankaragücü languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Rizespor will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Ankaragücü have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Rizespor has the most dropped points from leading position (20) in Super Lig

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Rizespor have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Ankaragücü form and stats

Ankaragücü have collected 13 points from their Super Lig home games so far after 4-1-6.

Ankaragücü travelled for their previous game, a trip to Kayserispor that ended 0-0. Preceding that match was a defeat to Sivasspor (1-4).

The Ankaragücü fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Rizespor form and stats

There's been little loot from Rizespor's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 12 away games in the Super Lig. Rizespor only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws. Rizespor seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager M. Şumudică was unhappy after their last game, a Super Lig match played at their home ground Çaykur Didi Stadyumu. Rizespor suffered a 0-2 loss to BB Erzurumspor (placed 16th). Prior to that match, the Rizespor manager M. Şumudică faced defeat when travelling to Alanyaspor and losing 1-2.

Rizespor goalkeeper Gökhan Akkan had a great day against BB Erzurumspor, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

The attacking power of Rizespor when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As for defending, Rizespor rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 23 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Rizespor - Ankaragücü 5-3. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Ankaragücü, three draws and four wins for Rizespor. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
