Rizespor vs Göztepe match preview

Competition: Turkey Super Lig
Date: Sat 13.April
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Çaykur Didi Stadyumu (15558 seats)

With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Rizespor fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Göztepe.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has grass, which is not Göztepe's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Göztepe have performed like this: Played eleven matches resulting in 1 win, 3 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 8-18 (scored/conceded). Göztepe have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
