Istanbulspor vs Rizespor Match Analysis & Prediction
02/04/2024 5:00 pm
Caykur Rizespor will be looking to return to pick up from where they left off before the break when they travel to face Turkish Super Lig whipping boys Istanbulspor at Esenyut Necmi Kadioglu Stadyumu on Tuesday.
Istanbulspor are rooted to the bottom of the Super Lig with a mere 13 points, a staggering 16 points behind the nearest team, as their two-year stay in the top flight seems to be nearing its end.
Osman Zeki Korkmaz’s side have not won any of their last nine matches, drawing three and losing six, including a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Pendikspor before the international break.
On the other hand, Caykur Rizespor have seen their good first-half form (29 points) take a nosedive in the second half of the season.
However, they head into this contest on the back of a 3-1 victory over Gaziantep FK before the break, but that was only their second win in the last six matches.
Rizespor’s away form has been a major concern all season, as they have picked up just nine points from a possible 42 on the road – Ilhan Palut’s side have only won two away matches all season, both coming within their first three trips.
Istanbulspor vs. Rizespor Head to head
In the 12 previous meetings between these two teams, Istanbulspor have claimed three victories while Rizespor have won seven, and they have drawn in two. Rizespor have scored 17 goals and conceded 12 in the process.
