Gaziantep F.K. have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Rizespor nor Gaziantep F.K. as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Rizespor form and stats
5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Lig numbers at home for Rizespor, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Super Lig, so far this season. Ever since the Galatasaray game Rizespor has been unbeatable here at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu producing five straight wins.
Rizespor travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sivasspor that ended 1-1. The Rizespor goalkeeper Çetin was crucial in the match against Sivasspor last time out, making six saves. Pohjanpalo, a natural forward, was the champion player for the team in that game, receiving a rating of 7.43 (out of 10). Pohjanpalo scored one goal and hit one key pass.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Yeni Malatyaspor in a game that was won 1-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Rizespor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rizespor as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Rizespor has won six of these, drawn four and lost three.
Rizespor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Rizespor have conceded 9 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Gaziantep F.K. form and stats
There's been little loot from Gaziantep F.K.'s travels as they have only collected 2 points from 9 away games in the Super Lig. Gaziantep F.K. only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
The supporters enjoyed Gaziantep's previous game versus Alanyaspor (placed 7th), a Super Lig 2-1 win played at home. Djilobodji was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.6. The defender Djilobodji won 5 of 7 duels.
A 0-0 draw at Kayserispor's stadium before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gaziantep F.K. playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Gaziantep F.K. wins, three draws and three defeats.
After this away game Gaziantep F.K. return home for a Turkish Cup game against Bursaspor. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Gaziantep when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Gaziantep F.K. have conceded 19 goals in these games.
