Football Bet of the Day: Sparrowhawks to fly high in Turkey

Turkey football fans
Rizespor have not been razor sharp at the back recently

"Six of the last seven league games at Yeni Rize Sehir Stadium have now delivered Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals in Rizespor v Sivasspor @ 1.8810/11

Tobias Gourlay's hoping to find goals in Turkey as Sivasspor travel to Rizespor

Rizespor v Sivasspor
Monday 18:00

In Italy yesterday, Lorenzi Insigne got the send off he wanted - and so did Kev. Insigne grabbed a farewell goal as Napoli beat Genoa 3-0.

We start the week in Turkey where Sivasspor are chasing a result at Rizespor in one of this evening's two Super Lig games.

Mid-table Rizespor are a perfectly mediocre team (W12-D12-L12 GF-48 GA-48) who lost their last home game 6-0 to second-placed Fenerbahce. Six of their last seven league games at Yeni Rize Sehir Stadium have now delivered Over 2.5 Goals, as the Sparrowhawks have conceded at least twice in 6/7.

Sivasspor will fancy their chances of getting the result they need to move out of the relegation zone. The Braves are unbeaten in four on the road (W2-D2), scoring nine times across those matches. They're also eight games without a clean sheet. With two shaky defences on show, we'll take Over 2.5 Goals to come home again this evening.
