Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Rizespor & Osmanlıspor face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Turkish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Rizespor nor Osmanlıspor as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Osmanlıspor have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
