Rizespor
No one in the team doubts such outcome, especially as they won two previous matches that practically returned them from dead. Just two rounds ago Rizespor had a huge backlog behind teams that were above the red line and very few believed then that Rizespor can stay in the Turkish first league. In those moments coach Karaman players kicked into higher gear and started playing on all or nothing and won Gasiantespor at home and Osmanlispor away.
Before that they trashed Bursaspor at home by even 6-0, which after that lost three times in a row. The point difference between the two teams reduced after that at just two points. Rizespor has much better goal difference and head-to-head score, so in the last round even a draw between Bursaspor and Trabzonspor would suit them if they win Alanysport. Let’s add that Karaman has many problems with absences before this match and that is the most visible in defence where he cannot count on suspended Fink and Oboabona, and injured Kurt, Yaakoubi, Ismail and Cek, while on the list of injured players is also midfielder Niyaz.
Probable lineups Rizespor: Akkan – Ovacikli, Yalcin, Saadane, Jantscher – Igiebor, Petrucci – Koc, Edomwonyi, Aynaoglu – Kweuke
Alanyaspor
Unlike Rizespor which is interested only in victory the guests from Alanya have obviously started to think about next season, given that lost in two previous rounds to Akhisar away and Galatasaray at home. Partial excuse for those defeats could be fact that they won two preceding matches, which in fact mathematically secured their survival in the debut season in the Turkish Super Lig, which is certainly a great success for this team.
Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Susic is very much responsible for great improvement that Alanyaspor showed in the second part of season. He managed to bring several good players and re-establish good atmosphere in the team in a short period of time, as well as to reinforce faith that they can survive in the Turkish first league. However, since they achieved the objective their game become very relax and now against Rizespor we believe that Alanyspor will not play with pedal to the floor, especially they cannot count on suspended stopper Tzavellas, and forwards Fernades and Vagner Love, on top of from before injured midfielders Vural and Aissati.
Probable lineups Alanyaspor: Yilmaz – Gassama, Omeruo, Lazić, N'Sakala – Sackey, Karaca – Candeias, Akbaba, Nefiz – Plet
Rizespor – Alanyaspor PICK
As we have stated in our analysis this match is far more important for Rizespor, which still has chance to avoid relegation from the Turkish Super Lig, while on the other hand Alanyaspor has no result imperative and coach Susic will probably have a hard time to properly motivate his players.
