Home - Caykur Rizespor
- Caykur Rizespor are 7th in the Super Lig 2026/2027 with six points from three games.
- The Atmacalar come into this game after a patchy start to their home record in the Super Lig 2026/2027 that has seen them win zero and lose one of their one match there.
- But Recep Uçar's side should be much improved on their opening home fixture - a 0-2 defeat to Samsunspor - after their 1-2 win on the road at Gazisehir Gaziantep FK in their second game.
- Uçar has set Rizespor up to play a compact and pragmatic structure that will look to be organised in all areas of the field while trying to profit on the break or at set pieces when the opposition commits to attacking.
Away - Alanyaspor
- Alanyaspor are 12th in the Super Lig 2026/2027 with four points from three matches.
- Joao Pereira is trying to make the Şimşekler, who will play in a fluid 3-4-2-1 system with wing-backs, flow as one unit in their build-up and hit with speed when the space opens up.
- Arda Usluoglu is the top scorer for Alanyaspor in the Super Lig 2026/2027 with one goal from his three appearances, but Florent Hadergjonaj has been his creator-in-chief with one assist in the league and three in all competitions over the last five matches.
Head-to-Head
Rizespor have won one and tied two of the clubs' last three encounters, including a 1-1 draw at Caykur Didi Stadyumu seven months ago.
Key Players
- Arda Usluoglu is the top scorer for Alanyaspor in the Super Lig 2026/2027 with one goal from his three appearances, but Florent Hadergjonaj has been his creator-in-chief with one assist in the league and three in all competitions over the last five matches.
- Emrecan Bulut has been Rizespor's catalyst for goals, contributing an assist and two of the four goals they have scored in their last five matches.
- Ali Sowe is Rizespor's main goal threat.
Betting Insights
- The history of this fixture and the fact that Alanyaspor are yet to win an away game in the Super Lig 2026/2027 after one draw and one defeat on the road gives Rizespor a slight advantage.
- However, the market is telling us a Rizespor win and under 2.5 goals is the best option and we are also getting Alanyaspor at 3.85.
Prediction
We are siding with a tight home win in a matchup that should see Alanyaspor get on the scoresheet.
