A tactical chess match
Two managers who recently swapped clubs mean that this will be a game between two teams that will know each other’s blueprint well. This could lead to a stalemate, but both sides will also want to come out on top to gain the advantage in the table, so we could see two sides trying to dominate the midfield to try to get the better of the other’s tactics. Rizespor’s more measured build-up style could clash with Konyaspor’s more proactive pressing game and we may see lots of goals in this matchup. For those interested in current form, this Caykur Rizespor vs Konyaspor preview suggests both clubs have the attacking talent to make this a high-scoring affair.
Rizespor have not won any of their last two home matches against Konyaspor though, so this won’t be an easy game for the visitors, and both teams will be looking to put an end to that run.
