Samsunspor v Rizespor
Friday 17:00

In Slovenia yesterday, Celje thrashed Rogaska 4-1 to make good on our bet.

We're in Turkey today for 17th-placed Samsunspor's home game with sixth-placed Rizespor. The hosts need a win to move clear of the relegation zone and we reckon they can get it.

Despite their lowly position, Samsunspor have won six of their last nine Super League home games. They've won 4/5 most recently - only league leaders Galatasaray have stopped them. Gala are also the only one of those five visitors to score a goal here.

Rizespor are W2-D3-L7 on the road this season - and it's been nine away days since they won. They've scored just five times across those nine outings. Their record doesn't improve against lower-placed teams: they are W1-D1-L4 against sides currently in the bottom half. We'll take them to lose again today.
