Competition: Turkey Super Lig
Date: Sun 22.September
Match begins: 11:00 (UTC)
Venue: Çaykur Didi Stadyumu (15558 seats)

It's early days in the Super Lig and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

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!

It's quite the trip for Gazişehir Gaziantep when visiting Rizespor as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Rizespor form and stats

Rizespor have only played one Super Lig game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.

Rizespor drew their last game, 1-1 away at Besiktas (placed 9th). Ahead of that match, Rizespor won a home game hosting Sivasspor (2-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rizespor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rizespor at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
