Onto the Turkish top flight, and the domestic season resumes after their winter break and the next preview features Kasimpasa taking on Rizespor as the betting tips continue at the Recep Tayyip Erdo?an Stadyumu with the hosts looking to break into one of the European qualifying spots.
Kasimpasa Prediction
Kasimpasa sit in 5th place in the Super Lig and are just three points adrift of 2nd and 3rd placed Galatasaray and Yeni Malatyaspor ahead of this Monday night clash with bottom club Rizespor, so there’s plenty of incentive for Mustafa Denizli’s side as they look to jump into European contention.
The hosts bounced back from two defeats on the trot to Kayserispor and Konyaspor prior to the break with a resounding 4-1 home win over 6th placed Besiktas to move them within striking distance of the top four clubs in the Super Lig.
Kasimpasa’s home record stands at 6-0-3 21/11 and the hosts have registered mixed results in recent times as they’ve recorded wins against Akhisarspor, Yeni Malatyaspor and Besiktas, but have also fallen to defeats against Antalyaspor and Kayserispor.
However, midfielders Trezeguet and Eduok (5 goals apiece) along with prolific striker Diagne (20 goals from 17 matches) should ensure the points go Kasimpasa’s way this evening.
Key-Facts – Kasimpasa v Rizespor
- Kasimpasa are just 3 points adrift of the European spots
- Kasimpasa striker Diagne has hit 20 goals in 17 matches in the Super Lig
- Rizespor have now gone 10 league matches without a win
Rizespor Prediction
Rizespor could be forgiven for wishing the winter break wasn’t over as they resume their campaign sitting bottom of the Super Lig with just 12 points to their name and find themselves five points from safety ahead of this Monday evening’s encounter against Kasimpasa.
The visitors have now gone 10 league matches without a win, a miserable sequence of results which includes four defeats and six draws and as a result, they’ve been unable to pull themselves off the bottom of the division.
Indeed, Rizespor have managed to gain just one win all season to date and that was a 3-0 home win over fallen giants, Fenerbahce, but aside from that, there’s been very little for the visitors to cheer about this term.
Rizespor are still without an away win this season too amidst an overall dismal record of 0-4-5 9/19 which includes failing to keep a single clean sheet on their travels along with conceding 2 goals or more in 6 of their 9 away matches.
Betting Tips Verdict
There should be only one outcome here…
