Rizespor Preview – Can Rizespor turn things around?
Having suffered 3 defeats out of their last 4 matches overall in the Turkish top flight, Monday night’s hosts, Rizespor, will be eager to set the record straight on home turf at their Çaykur Didi Stadyumu when they play host to 13th placed Genclerbirligi as the hosts look to move closer to a mid-table position.
Recent losses to Kayserispor, Kasimpasa and Fenerbahce have prevented Rizespor from moving further away from the relegation zone, although they do hold a useful 6-point cushion above the bottom three prior to tonight’s action.
Nevertheless, having registered just 1 win out of their last 4 matches overall in the Super Lig which was a 2-0 win away from home at Yeni Maltyaspor, Rizespor will no doubt be keen to improve upon an inconsistent looking home record which stands at 4-1-4 11/11.
One thing in Rizespor’s favour here though is that the hosts have won more home matches than any other team outside of the top seven in the Super Lig, but two defeats on the trot means that the goals market may be a safer play; indeed, 6 of Rizespor’s 9 home matches have resulted over 2.5 goals to date.
Genclerbirligi Preview – Can Genclerbirligi bounce back?
The visitors were dealt out a heavy 4-1 defeat away from home at 7th placed Besiktas last time out in the Turkish top flight and they face another tricky outing to face Rizespor in Monday night’s clash in the Super Lig.
Genclerbirligi currently occupy 13th place on the Turkish top flight ladder and having managed to register just 1 win out of their last 5 matches, it’s easy to see why they haven’t been able to lift themselves further away from the relegation zone with their one success during this period being a 3-1 home win against Goztepe.
Defeats to Fenerbahce 5-2 and the aforementioned 4-1 loss at Besiktas both away from home were mixed with points in draws with Yeni Malatyaspor 3-3 and a 2-2 draw with Sivasspor, both of which were recorded on home turf at their Ankara Ondokuz Mayıs Stadyumu.
The visitors have also lost their last two away matches on the trot though, so the straight win markets should be avoided, but with 7 of Genclerbirligi’s 8 away matches resulting in over 2.5 goals, the goals markets definitely appeal here.
