Command Analysis
Fatih Karagumruk
TurkeyCurrent form
Karagümrük is a representative of the Turkish First League, but, obviously, it is not going to sit there for long. The team is actively fighting for the second line, which allows it to go directly to the Super League. At the moment, with 31 points scored, the team is in third place in the tournament table. The gap from the second place is only two points, while the team is ahead of the fourth line by only one point, so there is no time to relax.
The year 2025 did not start well for the hosts. On January 4, the team lost 0:2 to Pendikspor on their home field, and Karagümrük was the favorite in that match.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the players are fit, so the coaching staff won't have to rack their brains over who to put on the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Karagumruk has scored in nine of his last ten home games
- The hosts have conceded in four of their last five matches
Tentative line-up: Belgin - Kurukalip, Djiloboji, Demir, Lzhankaya - Johnson, Doh - Dovedan, Gurpuz, Camachu - Wesley.
Rizespor
TurkeyCurrent form
It is difficult to rank Rizespor in any ranking yet. The team is somewhere between the middle of the Super League and the teams from the bottom of the standings. On January 3, the guests of the upcoming match pleased their fans, because they took three points on their home field in the confrontation with Besiktas, which is fighting hard to get into the top 4. At the moment, Ilhan Palut's charges are on the 11th line of the ranking. Of course, such a result does not suit either the club's management or the players themselves, because the team should easily be in the top 10 of the national championship.
The last time they played against their upcoming opponent was in January last year, and then Rizespor lost with a big score of 0:4. Of course, there is a great desire to take revenge, and the players will clearly make a lot of effort for this.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yasar will not be able to appear on the field due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Rizespor have lost their last two away matches
- The visitors have failed to score in only one of their last four matches.
Estimated line-up: Grbic - Sahin, Moksi, Alikulov, Pala - Hadziahmetovic, Papanikolaou, Gezzal, Olavoin, Akintola - Sow.
Tip and bets
Rizespor are in good shape, and the draw with Besiktas is a perfect example of this. Karagumruk, in turn, cannot boast of good playing shape, and the defeat to Pendikspor on their home field is a perfect confirmation of this. We believe that the visitors will take control of the situation and, despite the away nature of the game, will achieve their first victory in 2025, while the hosts will suffer their second defeat in a row in the first week of the new year.
Our prediction is Rizespor victory with odds of 1.65
Bet on total
The teams have not played each other before, but if Karagümrük could not score against an opponent like Pendikspor, then it is unlikely that they will be able to distinguish themselves in a confrontation with a stronger opponent, who is on the rise after a draw with Beşiktaş. Our second bet is that the hosts, like in the first match of the new year, will not even be able to score.
Bet - at least one will not score. This bet can be taken for 1.80
Bet on corners
We believe that Rizespor will spend most of the time in attacking actions and will achieve a positive result not only in terms of the score, but also in other additional indicators, which include corner kicks.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) corners on Rizespor. This bet is offered for 1.55
