Rizespor take on the visitors Goztepe in round 18 match of Turkish 1. Lig. The match will be played on Friday, December 16th at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu (Rize).
Rizespor do not want to be stuck in the 1. Lig. The "Black Sea hawks" periodically plays in the top division of the country, then in the 2nd league in Turkey. In 2018-2022, the club also managed to stay in the Superleague until it took the 17th place and got relegated in the spring. But it is obvious that they want to go back, "on the move." So far, it turns out - they lost there only once, to Adanaspor in mid-September. However, there are too many draws, 8 of them in 16 fights. But in the last 4 rounds, only Pendikspor was able to take points from Rizespor, playing 1-1 with them. All other recent fights were won, and this allows us to go in 2nd place - only Eyupspor, who have gone into the lead, have more. However, so far, the “hawks” only bypass Kechiorengyucu in additional indicators, while Samsunspor have 1 point less.

Goztepe does not shine even at this level now. The "Gaz Gaz" even have the status of the champion of Turkey - however, it was back in 1950, before the launch of the Super League. There were some successes in the following decades, but now this is a team that has lost its "registration" in the top division. In the last draw, only 28 points were taken, which brought 19th, penultimate place. It is already obvious that the representative of Izmir will not rise back, the team looks very mediocre. It seems that talk about the purchase of the project by Abramovich was still a rumor. Although, on the other hand, there is some progress, compared with an unsuccessful start with an abundance of defeats.
Rizespor won three times in the last four head-to-head matches. Including last season there were even May 7-1 on the road. Goztepe are frankly not impressive. So we bet on the next victory of Rizespor.
Prediction for the match: Rizespor to win.
