İstanbul Başakşehir - Rizespor predictions

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

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Rizespor would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

İstanbul Başakşehir have every reason to feel satisfied following a fantastic result achieved in the last round of the Super Lig. The betting odds of 2.90 on them winning away were enough to deter plenty of punters and we’re sure not even the fiercest of their supporters did not actually believe their team would ease to the 33 victory.

Rizespor treated their home supporters to quite a show in the previous round. The 3.91 betting odds weren’t exactly favourable, but they recorded an HT/FT victory with a $RESULT goal lead at the final whistle.

Recording more than 5 goals over their past 3 visiting matches, İstanbul Başakşehir are on a roll when it comes to goalscoring. They should do even better on their home turf.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Rizespor. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Rizespor once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Okechukwu Azubuike, Mithat Pala, Mame Mor Faye, Janne-Pekka Laine are the players that will be missing, which makes the Rizespor lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 3.85, but the betting value makes it interesting.
