23/02/2024 8:00 pm
With a spot in next season’s Europa Conference League within reach, Caykur Rizespor will be looking to add three more points to their Turkish Super Lig total when they face Samsunspor at Samsun Yeni 19 Mayis Stadyumu on Friday.
The visitors are currently occupying sixth position in the league standings on 36 points through 26 matches, while the hosts are down in 12th with 30 points after 26 games.
Samsunspor will head into the contest off the back of a 1-1 draw with Gaziantep FK at Kalyon Stadyumu, leaving them just two points above the relegation zone with 12 matches remaining.
At Samsun Yeni 19 Mayis Stadyumu this season, Samsunspor have a record of seven wins, two draws and four losses in 13 Super Lig matches, collecting 23 points from a possible 39.
Meanwhile, Rizespor suffered a 3-1 defeat to second-placed Fenerbahce at Caykur Didi Stadyumu in their last league match, extending their winless run to four games.
Rizespor have scored 28 goals and conceded 37 through their 26 matches, leaving them trailing fourth-placed Besiktas by seven points for a spot in the Conference League qualifiers.
The visitors will seek to address a poor run of results on their travels this season with three draws, seven losses and just two wins in 12 league away matches.
Rizespor will be out to end a nine-game away winless run, as they have not earned a win on the road since September 2023 against Konyaspor.
