Fenerbahce take on the visitors Rizespor in the 1/8-finals match of Turkish Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, January 19th at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium (Istanbul).
Fenerbahce have huge hopes for this season. The Canaries for quite a long time can not confirm their undoubted status of the national football giant with fresh trophies. In order to finally win the Super Lig (and maybe something else) in the summer, Jorge Jesus was called in and had a large-scale transfer campaign. At the exit, however, they slipped at the start, but in autumn the hail was really strong and convincing. The only embarrassing thing is that misfires have become more frequent closer to the middle of winter. First there was a defeat to the current champion, Trabzonspor. And the derby with Galatasaray ended 0-3. Moreover, against Gaziantep, playin in the majority, Fener had put the finishing touches only due to Enner Valencia's goal in extra minutes.

Rizespor are now in the middle of the Lig One. The Black Sea Hawks, after rising to the top division in 2018, were able to stay there for 4 seasons in a row - a good result for this modest team. But last season there was only 17th place - and relegation. The same happened 5 years ago, and then it turned out to immediately return to the elite. It would seem that it will be possible to repeat this without any particular problems, especially since there are players of the level of Yannick Bolasi in the squad. But in reality, the results are not enough to stay among the leaders. So with Kechiorengyucu in the last round there was only a draw, 1-1.
Fenerbahce has excellent statistics with Rizespor. Suffice it to say that at the moment the Canaries have 7 head-to-head victories in a row, including the aggregate 10-0 as a result of a couple of meetings of the previous championship. The strength of the teams is very unequal. We recommend betting that Fenerbahce will win with a handicap of "-1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Fenerbahce to win.
