Ankaragucu vs Rizespor Match Analysis & Prediction
11/12/2023 8:00 pm
Gameweek 15 in the Turkish Super Lig will conclude with a mid-table match between Ankaragucu and Caykur Rizespor at Eryaman Stadyumu on Monday night.
The hosts are currently occupying 12th position in the league standings with 17 points after 14 matches, while the visitors are ninth and four points ahead of their opponents.
Ankaragucu secured their spot in the fifth round of the 2023-24 Turkish Cup by beating lower-league side Iskenderun 3-1 in midweek, extending their recent run of positive results to four games without defeat.
Emre Belozoglu’s side have managed to take nine points from a possible 21 at Eryaman Stadyumu and will fancy their chances of improving that record against this opponent.
Rizespor have been one of the surprise packages in the Super Lig so far this season and have made the best start of the three newly-promoted sides.
Ilhan Palut’s side have won six, drawn three and lost five of their 14 matches and are just five points behind Besiktas, who sit in the Europa Conference League qualifier spot.
The Black Sea Sparrowhawks also secured their spot in the fifth round of the Turkish Cup last week with a 4-0 victory over Bucaspor 1928 and are carrying a three-game unbeaten league run into this contest.
However, they will need to end a four-game winless run away from home if they hope to break into the top six by the end of this matchweek.
Ankaragucu vs. Rizespor Head to head
In the 41 previous meetings between these two teams, Ankaragucu have claimed 16 victories while Rizespor have won 13, and they have drawn in 12. Rizespor have scored 53 goals and conceded 56 in the process.

Ankaragucu Team News
Belozoglu will be without the services of midfielder Tolga Cigerci, who picked up a thigh injury and is expected to remain sidelined for a few more weeks.
That should see Ali Kaan Guneren, Pedrinho and Efkan Bekiroglu continue in midfield, with Olimpiu Morutan and Renaldo Cephas operating down the flanks.
