On Monday, starting at 17:00 pm, the match Rizespor – Genclerbirligi will be played in the 18th round of the Turkish Super Lig, 2019/2020 edition. The last 4 meetings were split “brotherly” between the two groups, each awarding two successes. In the tour, Rizespor won with 1-0 away, Genclerbirligi remaining in 10 people since the first half. The last draw recorded between the two fighters was recorded in 2014, score 1-1.
Rizespor comes after the Turkish Cup draw with Galatasaray, final score 1-1 on home soil. There will be a return from Istanbul, but until then there is a new duel in the domestic championship. The “Greens” obtained 20 points in the first 17 rounds, which places them 12th in the Super League, with 6 points over the last relegation team. Rizespor lost 4 times on its own ground, but two of those defeats came in December, with Fenerbahce and Kasimpasa.
Genclerbirligi is newly promoted in the Super League this season, but he has appreciated developments. The 18 points and the goal of 28-32 highlight the ability of Hamza Hamzaoglu’s students to handle the situation excellently, succeeding at any time to enter the opponent’s gate. The scorer of the team is the Romanian Bogdan Stancu, the author of 11 successes in the first 17 rounds. Without disputes in the Turkish Cup after the early elimination, Genclerbirligi will aim for a positive result when traveling with Rizespor.
The hosts have scored on their own ground in each of the last 5 matches, but also in the most recent 3 matches with the guests. Although it is a very difficult game to predict, a final score of 1-1 is an extremely probable result.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,66
