Rizespor vs Trabzonspor prediction 25.01.2024

• Competition: Süper Lig
• Date: 25th January 2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Çaykur Didi Stadyumu

Two sides separated by just one place in the Turkish top flight meet on Thursday evening as Rizespor play host to Trabzonspor.

Rizespor advanced from the second division at the conclusion of the previous season, yet it appears as though they have been in the premier league for an extended period. Currently, Ä°lhan Palut’s team is in fifth place in the standings with 32 points from their first 21 matches. If they can hold this rank, it will mark the first instance in the club’s history of finishing in the top eight in a Süper Lig season.

On the other hand, Trabzonspor has not been performing at the same level since they won the Turkish championship in the 2021-22 season. Last season, Abdullah Avcı’s team ended in sixth place and currently, they are in third place, trailing 14 points from the top. Nevertheless, the Red & Blues have been gradually regaining their form, remaining unbeaten in six matches across all competitions until their recent embarrassing loss to Galatasaray last weekend.

Rizespor vs Trabzonspor Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Rizespor is experiencing an outstanding season, though there is room for improvement in their defence. In their last ten games, Ä°lhan Palut’s team managed to avoid conceding a goal only three times and allowed at least two goals in three of their last four matches. In five of their previous seven games, bets on over 2.5 goals have been successful.

The last two away games of Trabzonspor have all concluded with less than 2.5 goals. However, this is not always the scenario when they compete against Riespor. The previous two matches between these two teams resulted in five goals each and we believe the game on Thursday will not deviate from this pattern.
