Rizespor: form and statistics

Rizespor suffered a 2-0 loss to Trabzonspor in their last game to extend their losing run to four straight games. This winless run has dropped them to just one place above relegation in 15th place with 34 points in 29 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding 49. They are just three points above relegation, and if they continue in this form, they might find themselves in the lower division next season. The Black Sea Sparrowhawk still have seven games left in the season, including a match against Kayserispor, Gaziantep, Konyaspor, Goztepe, Besiktas and Hatayspor.

Rizespor: Lineup

Dal Varesanovic was sent off in their last game against Trabzonspor, receiving two yellow cards in the space of two minutes. He was a first-half substitute in the game, replacing Altin Zeqiri, and this means Altin Zeqiri will continue in the starting lineup in this clash. İlhan Palut will also need to assess the condition of Rachid Ghezzal and Abdulkadir Omur ahead of this game.

Eyupspor: Form and statistics

Eyupspor secured a 6-0 win over Adana Demirspor in their last game, with Emre Akbaba scoring a brace and providing an assist. With this win, they extended their unbeaten run to four in their previous five games. However, they have managed just one win in their previous five away games. They sit 4th on the table with 50 points in 30 games, scoring 48 goals and conceding 32. They are one point behind third-placed Samsunspor in the battle for the continental ticket.

Eyupspor: Lineup

Arda Turan will still have to do without some players, including Taskin Ilter, Fredrik Midtsjoe, Sinan Gumus, and Leo Dubois, who have remained sidelined due to injury. However, that won’t stop the gaffer from picking a strong 11 for his desired 4-2-3-1 formation. Berke Ozer will maintain his spot in goal, while Umut Bozok will lead from the front.

🔖 Eyupspor starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper – Berke Ozer

Defenders – Ruben Vezo, Robin Yalcin, Luccas Claro, Umut Meras

Midfielders – Tayfur Bingöl, Yalcin Kayan, Mame Baba Thiam, Emre Akbaba, Caner Erkin

Rizespor vs Eyupspor prediction 20 April 2025

Both sides are really in need of this game, with the hosts running from relegation and the visitors looking for a continental ticket. So, anything can happen in this game. At first, the visitors look like a clear favourite, but they are winless in the three times that they have faced Rizespor. The hosts are also very decent at home, and I can’t allow their position on the table to overshadow the fact that they are a dangerous team to play. So, I will back out of supporting either of the two sides, but believe both sides will score in this game.

Our prediction for this match is for Both Teams To Score (BTTS) at 1.64 odds on Betway.

Our second betting tip on the match is to see more than two goals at 1.80 odds on Bet365.

Our final betting tip on the match is to see Mame Thiam score at any time in the game at 3.40 odds on 1xbet.
