Prediction

  • Rizespor were demolished 5-0 by Fenerbahce last time out. There isn't much to say about the game other than that Fenerbahce were in complete control and Palut's team looked like a clueless amateur side. But, they will not be playing the likes of Canaries that often and at home, right before the break, Rizespor will display a performance that will help their fans forget last weekend's nightmare.
  • Samsunspor were beaten 2-1 by Gaziantepspor last time out. They did create quite a few chances, albeit tames ones, but lacked the quality to get anything out of the game. The sacking of Eroglu did not have the desired immediate impact and the board still have not hired a new name, although Riza Calimbay, who did wonders at Sivas, is rumoured to be on the verge of signing a deal. Without a manager in place, Samsunspor's losing streak is likely to continue to 6 games in a row.
