Team News

Rizespor
Konyaspor
  • Husniddin Aliqulov sustained an injury at the Asian Cup. Emirhan Topcu is expected to start in his place.
  • Janne-Pekka Laine, who wasn't expected to start here, is also injured.
  • Dal Varesanovic has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • Metehan Mert is likely to continue to deputise for the injured Adil Demirbag.
  • Gokhan Tore is also injured but he wasn't expected to start here anyway.
  • Emmanuel Boateng is likely to start in midfield as Soner Dikmen is suspended.
  • Bruno Paz, another non-starter, is at AFCON 2023 with Angola.

Prediction

  • Rizespor suffered a shocking 4-0 defeat at the hands of Karagumruk last time out. They were unrecognizable at the back and going forward, and it is unlikely that we will ever see such a hapless performance by Palut's men again. Varesanovic's return means they will be more creative going forward and get into more goal-scoring opportunities here.
  • Konyaspor were beaten 3-2 by Basaksehir last time out. They should've gotten a point but failed to contain Piatek whose man-of-the-match performance brought visitors all three points. Although every keeps repeating that this is too good of a squad to be threatened with relegation, Konyaspor seem unable to get out of the danger zone and things are looking rather bleak at the moment.
  • At home and at the back of a humiliating defeat, Palut will be extra motivated to record a victory against his old employer. Rizespor are favorites here.
