Prediction

  • Kayserispor were beaten 2-0 by Sivasspor last time out. Had Sivasspor been less wasteful, the scoreline could have easily been worse for Kayserispor. After the game, Petrescu resigned citing personal reasons. So, the mini revival with the Romanian manager came to an end and whether Kulaksiz, who has never managed a top-tier side before, will be able to keep them up remains to be seen. In his first game in charge, he will want to avoid losing at all costs. So, we can expect to see a very defensive Kayseri performance.
  • Rizespor also faced Sivasspor last time out and managed to hold them to a draw. The club hired Sumudica, assuming he would repeat his successes at Gaziantepspor, but this is not a squad that fits the Romanian manager's favoyred counter-attacking style. That's why he is still struggling with deciding on his ideal XI. They have become more solid at the back since he arrived, but lack the pace and incisiveness to execute counter-attacks.
