Rizespor form and stats
There's been little loot from Rizespor's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Super Lig. Rizespor only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Rizespor as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Besiktas match.
The attacking players of Rizespor have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 196 minutes.
Rizespor are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Samsunspor. The game before that, in the Super Lig, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Kasımpaşa.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Rizespor playing away, we found two games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.
