Gençlerbirliği - Rizespor betting tips and odds

Gençlerbirliği may come out on top this Friday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Rizespor. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.80 for the hosts to win.

Despite playing away, Rizespor are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.50, we’re in for a close game.

Gençlerbirliği are probably reasonably satisfied with the result of their previous Super Lig match at Kayserispor . They went into it as clear underdogs with a home-field disadvantage, and things only seemed direr at half-time. They somehow scraped together a 2:2 draw, however, and not a lot of people saw it coming.

Rizespor snagged a stunning 5:3 victory against Konyaspor in the last round. The match-up was quite tough for Rizespor despite the home-field advantage, so the victory is not something most betting predictions saw coming.

Gençlerbirliği’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Super Lig matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Rizespor fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The hosts would need a small miracle to avoid relegation – and even then, it’s questionable whether it would be enough at this point. They’re in the relegation zone placed at 19th, and Rizespor are not an easy opponent to beat.

The most recent result from these two teams recorded is from earlier in the season when the teams clashed. It ended in a draw, which is worse news for Rizespor because they are largely considered the stronger team.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Ömürcan Artan, Zargo Touré, Sefa Yılmaz, Mustafa Akbaş, Lucas Mugni are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Gençlerbirliği are considerable.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.00, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
