Samsunspor vs Rizespor Prediction and Match Preview

Seven days after a motivating victory in Super Lig, Samsunspor somewhat meets expectations in a 1-1 draw at Gaziantep on Saturday. They will hope to maintain their unbeaten streak further and on Friday, the team will host an unimpressive Rizespor side at Samsun 19 Mayis Stadyumu.

• Samsunspor is now on a two-match unbeaten streak and was unbeaten in six of the past seven league matches.
• Rizespor is on a four-match winless streak and lost three in the stretch leaking goals at an unimpressive rate.
• Samsunspor allowed goals in three of the past four league matches.

The last two matches might have cheered the supporters of Samsunspor as the team sealed two unbeaten displays in the league. Their defensive line has been a major problem for the team as they leaked goals in most of their latest league outings.

Moving on, the winless form of Rizespor will give some spirits for the Samsunspor side here. They are on a four-match winless streak in the league but are sitting at 6^th in the standings. Do also note that they lost three of the past four league outings. By the looks of things, we expect an interesting affair between these two on Friday.

Recent Meetings

• The reverse fixture ended in 1-0 win for Rizespor and they ended a four-match winless streak against Samsunspor with that win.
• Four of the last eight h2h clashes between the two saw the landing of both teams to score option.
• Samsunspor won three of the past five meetings against Rizespor at this stadium and is on a five-match unbeaten streak at present.

Samsunspor vs Rizespor Prediction

The edge in head-to-head inclines us to start with a bet in favor of Samsunspor here. Samsunspor lost just once in the past seven league matches at home, too. Meanwhile, Rizespor is on a 10-match winless streak on the road and lost seven in the stretch.

Also, the defensive line of both looks weak in the league of late. Their recent head-to-head also suggests both teams scoring display here. Thus, we like to start with Samsunspor to win as the main pick for this match. The weak defensive line of both inclines us to suggest the both teams to score tip as an alternative pick for this match.

Moving on, both Samsunspor and Rizespor have recorded over 2.5 goal affairs of late. However, we are not counting on the unimpressive Rizespor side on the road for this match. Since Samsunspor’s last three league home wins saw their offensive line scoring at least two, you can back the home team to score over 1.5 goals for this match.
