Rizespor host Trabzonspor in the Super Lig, with the home side on 10 points from 8 matches, sitting 12th, while the visitors have 16 points, are in 4th place, and have just won four matches in a row in all competitions. This game is therefore one where the home side must find a way to stop the team that is on a strong run. Rizespor have had defensive problems lately, losing two matches in a row and without a win in three. Most recently they went down 1-2, and before that they lost 0-3. Trabzonspor, meanwhile, won 2-0 in two consecutive matches in the league and cup, scoring 18 and conceding 5 from 8 league matches, so their attack is clearly the stronger side. But Rizespor have not always played badly at home: they average 54.3% possession in their last 10 matches across all venues, higher than their opponents' 50.7%, and they hit 4.8 shots on target per game. This game is likely to play out with Trabzonspor taking the initiative and attacking, while Rizespor sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances with slightly more possession. If the home side can hold out early and not concede first, the game will become more and more even, because Rizespor concede 36% of their goals late in matches, which is the period they must be most careful about.
