Rizespor - Eyüpspor predictions

Rizespor should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Eyüpspor can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Given their reputation for perseverance, we expect Eyüpspor to give their best effort in this match.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Super Lig disappointment. Rizespor suffered a disappointing Trabzonspor away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Sunday.

The previous Super Lig encounter could not have gotten much better for Eyüpspor who were heavily favoured to claim a victory anyway. They fully delivered as well, having taken an early lead and turned it into a 6:0 triumph.

Rizespor have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

Eyüpspor netted 8 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

The hosts are placed at 15th in the standings, which puts them 3 points away from the relegation zone. They’ll need to be careful this late in the season, especially considering this game is rather evenly matched.

The away team are heading into a very difficult matchup, but they should be aiming to eanr some points if they want to move onto the Europa League. They’ll need another 1 point to do so. Considering the odds are stacked against them and that the season’s end is already in sight, it’s hard to feel optimistic for them.

The two teams already met this season in the Super Lig, with Rizespor taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Giannis Papanikolaou, Rachid Ghezzal, Abdülkadir Ömür will have to sit this one out, while Eyüpspor will have to make do without Fredrik Midtsjø, Sinan Gümüş, Taşkın İlter, Léo Dubois.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 2.03 odds.
