Team News

Rizespor
Gaziantep FK
  • Janne-Pekka Laine, Mithat Pala, and Benhur Keser, neither of whom were expected to start here, are Ilhan Palut's only injury concerns.
  • Bryan Acosta will not be available for the remainder of the season.
  • Ulas Zengin, who wasn't expected to start here, is also injured.

Prediction

  • Rizespor were demolished 6-2 by Galatasaray last time out. Despite the scoreline, they gave away less chances than many other teams that have visited Gala but their host's finishing on the day was simply superb. Although their form has not been impressive of late, Rizespor are a strong side at home and are favorites to win this.
  • Gaziantepspor caused a major upset beating Besiktas 2-0 last time out. Sumudica's departure did not change how Gaziantep play. They still focus on defending tight and counterattacking, and against a tame Besiktas side that plan worked. It is not likely to work here against Rize, who will be itching to put last weekend's embarrassing loss behind them.
