The hosts sit third in the table with 54 points from 25 matches, chasing the title race alongside Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Rizespor, currently tenth with 30 points, face a stiff test against a Trabzonspor side that has been in imperious form recently. Trabzonspor's recent record is formidable. In their last 10 games, they have secured 8 wins and only suffered 1 loss, maintaining an 80% win rate and averaging 2.50 points per game. Their attacking output at home is particularly potent, averaging 2.50 goals scored per game in their last 4 home fixtures. A look at the recent results shows a 3-1 victory away at Kayserispor and a 4-2 win against Başakşehir in the cup, highlighting their offensive capability.

They have drawn 40% of those away matches but only won 1 out of 5. This defensive fragility presents a significant challenge against a high-scoring home side. The head-to-head history provides further context for this matchup. In 9 previous meetings, Trabzonspor have won 4 times against Rizespor's 4 wins, but at home, Trabzonspor hold a 75% win rate against this opposition. Crucially, 6 of the last 9 matches between these sides have gone Over 2.5 Goals. The average goal output in these encounters is roughly 3.34 per game.

Rizespor's own finishing delta is positive at 0.25, suggesting they contribute to the attacking play.
