After 11 wins, 4 draws and 16 losses, the home team is in 14th position, having accumulated 37 points. In their last match, they lost to Kayserispor away by (1‑0), following a previous home win against Eyüpspor, also by (1‑0). This team is impacted by the home factor, being stronger when playing in front of their fans, as in the last 30 matches they recorded 4 wins and 11 losses as visitors, with 16 goals scored and 29 conceded, compared to 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at home, with 30 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last 10 home games for the league, Rizespor has recorded 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, earning 18 points from a possible 30. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their attack has been consistent, scoring in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 31 matches, they conceded the first goal 17 times, managing only 3 comebacks. Rizespor struggles for consistency in their Super League campaign and remains at risk of entering the relegation zone, having lost again to Kayserispor in their last outing. Operating a 4-3-3 formation, Ali Sowe is the team’s main finisher, serving as a key reference in attack. On the right flank, Taha Şahin and David Akintola are tasked with quickening the pace of play, using their pace and tactical awareness to create space and support the attack with incisive plays. Injuries to defender Samet Akaydin, midfielder Giannis Papanikou and right winger Rachid Ghezzal will keep them out of the next match.

The visiting team is currently in 10th place, having amassed 42 points from 12 wins, 6 draws and 13 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost away to İstanbul Başakşehir by (2‑1), and followed that with a home defeat to Fenerbahçe by (1‑3).

Gaziantep has displayed effectiveness in their attacking play, despite suffering another defeat at home to Fenerbahçe (1-3), with Alexandru Maxim netting their sole goal. Utilising a 4-2-3-1 tactical setup, David Okereke is regarded as their main offensive threat, being a quick and sharp striker who excels in finishing. In midfield, Alexandru Maxim orchestrates the play, combining precise passing with an astute understanding of the match, playing a crucial role in both build-up and finishing phases. It appears that the full squad will be available for the upcoming match.
