With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Rizespor fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Kasımpaşa.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
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
4 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Rizespor have to build on here at Caykur Didi Stadium in the Super Lig. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Rizespor, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
In their previous game, the manager İ. Kartal led his Rizespor to a defeat in the Super Lig match away at Kayserispor. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Caykur Didi Stadium. Ahead of that match, Rizespor won a home game hosting Samsunspor (3-2).

Kasımpaşa form and stats
There's been little loot from Kasımpaşa's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Super Lig. Kasımpaşa only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Kasımpaşa who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Yeni Malatyaspor was the last time a defeat was avoided. Kasımpaşa seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Kasımpaşa failed to get anything from their last game, a Super Lig home match vs Besiktas (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 2-3. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Van BB.
Kasımpaşa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
The schedule is very tough for Kasımpaşa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Turkish Cup game at Van BB is waiting in only three days.
Kasımpaşa are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Kasımpaşa have conceded 12 goals in these games.
