Team News

Rizespor
Fenerbahce
  • Benhur Keser, who wasn't expected to start here, is manager Ilhan Palut's only injury concern.
  • Mert Hakan Yandas, who wasn't expected to start here, is suspended.

Prediction

  • Rizespor were 2-1 winners against Adana Demirspor last time out. Many had expected Palut's team to struggle after the departure of Shelvey who had a great impact on the team last season. However, new arrivals have gelled well and Rizespor look quite strong in this early stage of the season.
  • Fenerbahce were kept to a 2-2 draw by Goztepe last time out. Mourinho's team is struggling to dominate games and is conceding far too many chances for a contender. The Portuguese manager hasn't decided on his ideal defensive partnership yet and Kadioglu, one of the first names on the name sheet, is rumoured to be on his way to Brighton. This is far from the rosy start to the season Fenerbahce fans were dreaming of.
  • This is not going to be an easy game for the visitors. Although Fenerbahce have the stronger squad on paper, Rize's performances so far have been impressive.
