Caykur Rizespor vs Trabzonspor Prediction and Betting Tips | January 24th 2024

Round 22 of the Turkish Super Lig comes to an end on Thursday when Caykur Rizespor and Trabzonspor lock horns at the Estadio Çaykur Didi.

Having picked up a 3-2 victory in August’s reverse fixture, Ilhan Palut’s men will head into the game looking to complete the double over the visitors and return to winning ways.

Caykur Rizespor were left empty handed for a second consecutive game as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Alanyaspor at the Bahçeşehir Okulları Arena last Saturday.

Prior to that, the Black Sea Sparrowhawk were dumped out of the Turkish Cup courtesy of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Ankaragucu on January 16.

Despite their drop-off in form, Rizespor currently sit fifth in the Super Lig table, just three points behind fourth-placed Besiktas in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.

Elsewhere, Trabzonspor suffered a 5-1 hammering against Galatasaray at the Şenol Güneş Spor Complex on Sunday.

Abdullah Avci’s men were previously on a seven-game unbeaten run, claiming two draws and five wins, including a 3-1 cup victory over Manisa on January 18.

With 37 points from 21 matches, Trabzonspor are currently third in the league table, 17 points adrift of third-placed Galatasaray.
