Rizespor vs Antalyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
Four games, eight points – the current run of the Mediterranean club from Antalya is impressive at the moment. The red and whites from the popular holiday area have fought their way back into the middle of the table with a series of successes and thus expanded the points cushion to the red zone of the Süper Lig. In the English week, the youngest form is to be continued.
On Thursday evening, the scorpions will play the away game at the Black Sea Club from Rize. As the odds comparison of the betting base shows, Rizespor vs. Antalyaspor favors the formally strong guests according to quotas. A prognosis for the Mediterranean club in its current form is by no means absurd.
After all, Antalyaspor remained unbeaten four times in a row, unlike the home side from Rize. Including the most recent home win over Kayserispor, where head coach Ersun Yanal’s team kept clean for the third time in a row.
Rizespor:
Rizespor is currently in a form crisis. After a temporary high in form, the Blue-Greens have lost three times in the last four games in the Süper Lig. So the good starting position in the table was lost. After all, the Black Sea club was now even in fifth place in the table.
Last weekend, Rizespor conceded a narrow away defeat in the Black Sea derby against Trabzonspor. For a long time it was a match at eye level, in which Stjepan Tomas’s team even led 1-0 at halftime. In the second half, however, his protégés were literally played against the wall and conceded two goals.
Wipe your mouth and carry on is now the motto for the Croatian trainer. The lead over the relegation places is still five points.
In the six home games of the current season, Rizespor currently has a record of 3-1-2. The Blue-Greens recorded one of the three home wins in the last home game against Göztepe, where the guests from Izmir were given three goals. A total of eleven goals have been scored in six home games – an average of almost two goals per game.
It remains to be seen whether the offensive trend against Antalyaspor will continue, especially since the Mediterranean club have not conceded three times in a row. Head coach Stjepan Tomas will have to complain about six losses in the home game against the table twelfth of the Süper Lig, including team captain Abdullah Durak.
Antalyaspor:
Antalyaspor wants to continue the current series in the Süper Lig and is aiming for the next points in Rize. In the last four games there have been eight points for the Scorpions on the Mediterranean, three of them in the most recent home game against Kayserispor. The red-whites’ defense again made a positive impression and was not conceded for the third time in a row.
Ersun Yanal has done an excellent job so far as the new trainer for the Mediterranean Club. The 59-year-old’s handwriting can now also be seen on the offensive, after all, the wings have been used more effectively in the last few games than with his predecessor Tamer Tuna.
After temporary staff concerns, the red-whites’ hospital has now also been significantly reduced in size. Ex-Bundesliga players such as Nuri Sahin, Lukas Podolski and Sidney Sam are currently in the starting XI of Yanal. This is unlikely to change much in the away game in Rize.
Abroad, the red and whites from Antalya currently have a balance of 0-4-2. Most recently there were three away draws in a row, including the game with the former Europa League representative from Sivas.
If the Scorpios take the latest momentum from the current series of successes with them, it is by no means absurd to consider Rizespor vs. Antalyaspor to give a tip on the guests.
