There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Super Lig table so far. Here's the Rizespor - Kasımpaşa latest:
- Rizespor have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Kasımpaşa have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Rizespor and Kasımpaşa.
Kasımpaşa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Rizespor form and stats
5-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Lig numbers at home for Rizespor so far this season.
Rizespor are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Fenerbahçe. Before that, Rizespor played out a draw 1-1 when visiting İstanbul Başakşehir.
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 six games. Rizespor has won three of these, drawn three and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rizespor as they are travelling to their away game against Alanyaspor in the Super Lig. That match is four days after this one.
The Rizespor fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 10 league matches. Rizespor have conceded 15 from these games.
Kasımpaşa form and stats
There's been little loot from Kasımpaşa's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Super Lig. Kasımpaşa only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
Kasımpaşa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Kayserispor proved too strong as Kasımpaşa slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu. Before that, Kasımpaşa secured a home win against Sivasspor with the score 2-0.
Kasımpaşa were so close to getting something from the game against Kayserispor, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kasımpaşa playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Kasımpaşa wins, four draws and six defeats.
After this away game Kasımpaşa return home for a Super Lig game against Hatayspor. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Kasımpaşa have scored 10 goals in 10 league games away. In the opposite end, Kasımpaşa have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Kasımpaşa - Rizespor 2-0, played this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Rizespor two wins, one draw and Kasımpaşa seven victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
