- Samsunspor produced 21 shots and 2.79 xG in their opening 3-3 draw, a level of attacking output that immediately tests Rizespor’s defensive improvement.

Goals per Match Comparison
Recent attacking records for Caykur Rizespor and Samsunspor are shown below.
Goals Conceded Comparison
Recent defensive records for Caykur Rizespor and Samsunspor are shown below.
Rizespor began with a disciplined 1-0 win at Konyaspor, decided by Qazim Laci’s stoppage-time penalty, while Samsunspor produced 21 shots and 2.79 expected goals in a chaotic 3-3 draw with Goztepe.
That contrast gives Saturday’s meeting its shape. Recep Ucar’s side showed they can stay compact and patient until an opportunity appears. Thorsten Fink’s visitors demonstrated far more attacking volume, but also conceded three times from only 1.72 xG. One side began efficiently; the other began explosively.
Rizespor’s Home Record Gives Their Clean Sheet More Weight
The opening victory was not merely fortunate because it came so late. Rizespor created enough to remain competitive throughout and, just as importantly, did not allow Konyaspor to score.
That defensive performance fits a broader home pattern. Six of their eight clean sheets last season came at Caykur Didi Stadyumu, where they collected 27 of their 41 league points. Home form was therefore central to an eighth-place finish rather than a decorative extra.
Their recent league numbers are less pristine, though. Across the last 10 matches, Rizespor have scored 1.5 goals per game but conceded 1.7, with opponents producing 4.9 shots on target on average. The shutout at Konyaspor was encouraging, but it would be premature to treat one clean sheet as evidence that those defensive issues have disappeared.
Samsunspor’s Attack Created More Than Their Result Suggests
Three goals might already look productive, yet Samsunspor arguably left room for more against Goztepe. They attempted 21 shots, created three big chances and generated 2.79 xG.
Their wider record supports the idea that this is not a one-match spike. Across their last 10 league games, Samsunspor have averaged 2.2 goals, 10.9 attempts and five shots on target. Marius Mouandilmadji has six goals in that sequence and four assists, giving Fink a player whose contribution goes beyond finishing alone.
The obvious complication is at the other end. Samsunspor conceded three times in the opener despite allowing 1.72 xG, and their last 10 league matches have produced an average of 1.8 goals conceded. Scoring frequently has not always translated into control.
The Recent Fixture Pattern Favours Rizespor
Last season’s meetings strengthen the hosts’ case. Rizespor took four points from the two matches, drawing 1-1 away before winning 4-1 at home, and they are unbeaten in the last three encounters with Samsunspor.
Two of the last three top-flight meetings in Rize have also ended in home victories. Samsunspor have at least demonstrated that they can win here, their most recent success in this fixture coming through a 1-0 victory at the same ground.
That history matters because Saturday brings together a strong Rizespor home profile and a Samsunspor side whose first match suggests they may be willing to trade attacking output for defensive exposure. If that pattern repeats, the hosts should have opportunities.
Availability Gives Neither Side an Obvious Excuse
Rizespor remain without Khusniddin Alikulov because of a ligament injury, but Ucar otherwise has a full squad available. Ali Sowe is expected to remain the central attacking reference, with Laci, Ahmed Kutucu and Adedire Mebude among those capable of supporting the forward play.
Samsunspor have no major new fitness concerns and could bring Elliott Watt back after suspension, although Jaures Assoumou, Yunus Emre Cift, Tanguy Coulibaly, Igor Drapinski and Elayis Tavsan remain doubts after missing the opening squad.
The central question is therefore less about personnel than balance. Rizespor have stronger recent evidence of using their home ground well; Samsunspor have stronger attacking numbers. The side that imposes its preferred version of the game should dictate where this contest is won or lost.
📊 Market Explainer
Win & Both Teams to Score
Selection: Rizespor to win and both teams to score. The selected team must win in normal time and both teams must score. If the selected team draws or loses, or either side fails to score, the bet loses.
Correct Score Market
Selection: Caykur Rizespor vs Samsunspor 2-1. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: Rizespor to win and both teams to score @ 11/4
Caykur Rizespor rely heavily on their home ground to drive results, making a win on home turf a sensible starting point for this fixture. Last season, Recep Ucar’s team gathered 27 of their 41 league points at Caykur Didi Stadyumu, establishing a reliable pattern of home authority that carried them to an eighth-place finish. Their recent offensive production shows stability, averaging 1.5 goals per match over their last 10 league outings. With Ali Sowe leading the forward line alongside support from Qazim Laci and Ahmed Kutucu, the hosts possess consistent means to break down opposing backlines when playing in front of their home supporters.
The inclusion of Samsunspor scoring stems from the visitors’ explosive attacking figures meeting Rizespor’s recent defensive allowances. Thorsten Fink’s side produced 21 shots and 2.79 expected goals in their opening 3-3 draw against Goztepe, extending a broader run where they have averaged 2.2 goals and five shots on target per match across their past 10 league games. Forward Marius Mouandilmadji has directly contributed six goals and four assists in that 10-match sequence. At the same time, Rizespor have conceded 1.7 goals per game over their last 10 league fixtures, giving Samsunspor ample opportunities to land on the scoresheet.
A relevant counterpoint is Rizespor’s ability to keep clean sheets at home, where six of their eight shutouts last season occurred alongside their opening 1-0 win at Konyaspor. However, Samsunspor’s high shot volume makes a shutout difficult to maintain. Combining a Rizespor victory with both teams scoring aligns with these colliding trends.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Caykur Rizespor earned 27 of 41 league points at home last season, scoring 1.5 goals per match in last 10 games.
- Samsunspor averaged 2.2 goals and 21 shots in their opening 3-3 draw.
- Samsunspor conceded 1.8 goals per match across last 10 league fixtures.
Risk Factor: Rizespor's six home clean sheets last season mean a shutout by Samsunspor would void this bet.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Collected 27 of 41 league points at home, winning two of last three home meetings.
Surrendered 3 goals from 1.72 xG in 3-3 draw and allowed 1.8 goals per match recently.
⚽ Pick 2: Caykur Rizespor vs Samsunspor 2-1 @ 7/1
A 2-1 home victory provides a scoreline that accurately reflects both Caykur Rizespor’s attacking capacity at home and Samsunspor’s persistent defensive vulnerabilities. Rizespor scored four goals in their last home meeting against Samsunspor in a 4-1 victory, and they have maintained an average of 1.5 goals per match over their last 10 league fixtures. Facing a Samsunspor side that conceded three goals from 1.72 expected goals in their 3-3 draw with Goztepe, Rizespor have clear evidence supporting their ability to score at least twice. Samsunspor have allowed an average of 1.8 goals per match across their past 10 league outings, demonstrating a recurring defensive instability that helps justify two home goals.
The single goal for Samsunspor is justified by their recent offensive record rather than general assumptions. Fink’s team generated 21 shots and scored three times in their season opener, while averaging 2.2 goals per game across their past 10 league matches. With Marius Mouandilmadji accounting for six goals and four assists in that 10-match span, the visitors possess proven output to breach a Rizespor defence that has surrendered 1.7 goals per game over their last 10 league appearances and conceded 4.9 shots on target per match.
Historical fixture precedent also offers secondary context, as Rizespor defeated Samsunspor 4-1 at home last season and took four points from their two encounters. While this exact scoreline remains fragile—where one extra goal or a missed chance invalidates the bet—a 2-1 result logically connects both teams’ offensive and defensive statistics.
Risk Factor: Exact score bets are sensitive; Samsunspor could score a second and invalidate the 2-1 prediction.
