Galatasaray to boost title hopes at Rizespor
Rizespor vs Galatasaray SK - 14/06/2020
2396
On Sunday night, Rizespor host Galatasaray in what could be a massive game in both the fight for survival in the Turkish Super Lig and the title.
Rizespor are in the relegation dogfight, as they are only out of the drop zone courtesy of a superior head-to-head record in their one meeting so far this season with 16th place Yeni Malatyaspor.
A woeful recent run of form in the Turkish top-flight is responsible for their current precarious position in the table.
In fact, the home team have now failed to win in eight outings in the Super Lig, having suffered six defeats in the process. Last time out in the league, Rizespor suffered a 2-0 defeat at Goztepe, which was their sixth defeat in seven league outings.
A leaky defence has been the home team’s main problem of late, as they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven matches in the Turkish top-flight.
The recent history of this fixture does nothing to suggest that Rizespor’s poor form will end on Sunday, as they have won just one of their last 11 meetings with Galatasaray in all competitions.
While Rizespor battling for their Super Lig status, Galatasaray still have a chance of winning the title this season. The visitors head into this encounter just three points behind league leaders Trabzonspor. A top-two finish would also see Gala go into the Champions League qualifying for next season, so this is a big game for the visitors.
Fatih Terim’s head into this match on a ten-game unbeaten run in the Super Lig. However, they may be slightly frustrated though, as their last two league games have finished in draws.
Forebet predicts that Galatasaray will improve their title chances and with it put Rizespor in an even more perilous position in the Turkish top-flight.
