Rizespor vs Fenerbahce Prediction

This fixture presents a clear statistical mismatch based on the comprehensive data available. Fenerbahce arrives in Rizespor having maintained an unbeaten record this season with 8 wins and 4 draws from 12 matches, accumulating 28 points and sitting second in the Süper Lig table. In stark contrast, Rizespor occupies 10th position with just 14 points from 3 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses.

The head-to-head record tells a compelling story - Fenerbahce has won ALL 9 previous meetings between these sides. Rizespor has never managed a victory or even a draw against Fenerbahce, scoring only 5 goals while conceding 31. At home specifically, Rizespor's record against Fenerbahce reads 0 wins, 0 draws, 4 losses.

Recent form further reinforces Fenerbahce's superiority. Over their last 10 matches, Fenerbahce has secured 7 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 loss, averaging 2.30 points per game. Their attacking output averages 1.90 goals scored while conceding only 0.90. Rizespor's recent form shows 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses with 1.60 points per game, but crucially they average only 0.80 goals scored at home despite their decent overall home win percentage of 40%.

The statistical advantages are pronounced. Fenerbahce averages 7.10 shots on target per game compared to Rizespor's 3.33, with superior shot accuracy (39.7% vs 24.9%) and possession (56.1% vs 50.0%). While Rizespor has shown some resilience with draws against Gazişehir Gaziantep (2-2) and Samsunspor (1-1) recently, these opponents don't match Fenerbahce's quality level.

Fenerbahce's away performance, while not as dominant as their home form, still shows strength with 40% wins and 40% draws in their last 5 away games, averaging 1.60 goals scored and only 1.00 conceded.
