İstanbul Başakşehir Rizespor betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is a good result for the home team. Basaksehir is playing at their worst, but their attack has been scoring regularly and is on a good run of form. Rizespor, on the other hand, is also playing at its worst, having only won once, but their attack has been consistent. We expect an open game, dominated by the home team, but with goal opportunities for both sides. Therefore, betting on Basaksehir's Asian Handicap 0.0, -0.5 in this match seems like a good alternative.

In the last match, they have won in an away match against Kayserispor by (0‑3), after in the previous match they have won (2‑1) at home, against Fatih Karagümrük. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 17 conceded.

In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 11 of their 31 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The most likely scenario for this match is that the visitors, Basaksehir, are on a good run despite having some defensive vulnerabilities, having won again against Kayserispor away from home in the last round by 0-3, with goals from Davie Selke, Ramazan Civelek (own goal) and Nuno Da Costa. The team plays in a 4-4-2 tactical formation, with Eldor Shomurodov and Davie Selke occupying the last line. The offensive support comes from Umut Güneş, Amine Harit, Abbosbek Fayzullaev and Olivier Kemen, who display flexible behavior, circulating between sectors and reducing spaces for short combinations. This system favors the creation of close passing lanes, exploits the gaps generated by the movement of the attacking duo and allows the team to progress with greater control in the final third. It appears that the entire squad will be available for the next match.

Confirmed Lineup: Muhammed Şengezer, Christopher Operi, Ömer Ali Şahiner, Jerome Opoku, Léo Duarte, Umut Güneş, Olivier Kemen, Davie Selke, Eldor Shomurodov, Amine Harit, Abbosbek Fayzullaev.
Coach: Ç. Atan.

Analysis Rize

The away team is currently in the 12th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 4 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Göztepe, by (3‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Alanyaspor, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Rize has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Rizespor has managed to stay out of the relegation zone but has shown many defensive difficulties, drawing 1-1 at home against Alanyaspor in the last round, with Valentin Mihăilă scoring for them. The team uses a 4-3-3 tactical formation as its structural reference, with Ali Sowe, Altin Zeqiri, and Loide Augusto dynamically composing the attacking line. The trio's behavior is characterized by frequent changes of position, variations in height, and constant adjustments in space occupation, which keeps the distances between sectors reduced. This functioning favors collective advancement, guarantees territorial dominance in possession, and allows the team to remain established in the opponent's half while maintaining continuity in offensive actions. Defender Modibo Sagnan and midfielder Giannis Papanikolaou, both suspended, will be unavailable for the next match.

Confirmed Lineup: Erdem Canpolat, Casper Højer, Taha Şahin, Samet Akaydin, Attila Mocsi, T. Antalyalı, Ibrahim Olawoyin, Qazim Laci, Valentin Mihăilă, Altin Zeqiri, Ali Sowe.
Coach: İ. Palut.
