Antalyaspor - Rizespor predictions

Antalyaspor will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Rizespor don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.83 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Antalyaspor on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Although Antalyaspor are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Fenerbahçe , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The away team went into their previous Super Lig game as both the hosts and the clear favourites, so it was a bit surprising that the first half ended in a stalemate. They went on to completely dominate the latter parts of the match, though, and ultimately recorded a 3:1 victory.

Antalyaspor can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 6 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Rizespor’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 8 in their previous 3 away games.

Looking back at the track record for this matchup, it’s easy to justify the favourable betting odds for Rizespor winning. They already defeated Antalyaspor earlier in the season, and are likely to do so again.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.97 at Pncl.
