The visiting Alanyaspor side should be favourites in this visit to Rizespor, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Turkish Cup. That game was also an away game, at Antalyaspor. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Rizespor form and stats
5 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. That’s what Rizespor have to build on here at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu in the Super Lig. It's trouble wherever Rizespor are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Rizespor manager Ü. Karaman might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The fans are hoping that Rizespor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the Super Lig game against Trabzonspor (placed 2nd). Before that game, the home loss against Istanbul Basaksehir with the scoreline 1-2.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The Rizespor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Rizespor's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Two travels in a row for Alanyaspor, whose manager E. Bulut could celebrate last time after the Turkish Cup win against Antalyaspor. A 1-2 loss hosting Beşiktaş before that.
A heroic performance from Alanyaspor in their game against Antalyaspor last time out. Things got complicated when Welinton was sent off in the 64th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 1-0 victory! Late drama in the previous game, when J. Fernándes scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Antalyaspor.
