Rizespor suffered a 1-0 loss to Kayserispor in their last game to extend their winless run to five in their previous six games. During this run, they had one win, one draw and four losses. They also managed just one clean sheet. However, they have been better at their home ground, remaining unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 games.

İlhan Palut has no fresh injury concerns, and there is a high likelihood he will repeat the same starting 11 that started in the 1-0 loss to Kayserispor.

Gaziantep suffered a 3-1 loss to Fenerbahce in their last game to extend their losing run to two straight games, but they have won four of their previous eight games.

They sit 12th on the table with 42 points in 31 games, scoring 41 goals and conceding 43. With 15 points still left to fight for in the season, they sit in a comfortable position to avoid relegation. They are eight points above the relegation zone, and a few more points will guarantee their safety.

Gaziantep look to be comfortable at the moment with their position on the table, but the hosts are still in the fight for relegation and they will need to pick up some points to remain in the top division next season. Moreover, they have a good home record compared to the poor run of Gaziantep on the road. So, I expect them to win and also keep a clean sheet to continue the head-to-head trend between both sides.
