Struggling Rizespor will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Göztepe in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Rizespor have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Göztepe have not yet lost a game away.
The visiting Göztepe played their last game only three days ago, a Super Lig match.
8-9-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Göztepe when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 30 matches are 27-32 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Rizespor form and stats
Rizespor have played 5 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager S. Tomas led his Rizespor to a defeat in the Super Lig match away at Fatih Karagümrük. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu. Preceding that match was a defeat to Galatasaray (0-4).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Rizespor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost zero.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Rizespor, as the Turkish Cup home game vs Eskisehirspor is only three days away.

Göztepe go into this game after a win, the home game against Alanyaspor that ended 1-0. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Kayserispor.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Göztepe in our archives, and the results are: one win for Göztepe, four draws and eight defeats.
