Samsunspor vs C.Rizespor Prediction & Betting Tips
Expert football prediction and analysis for Turkish Super Lig - Monday, October 27, 2025
Samsunspor
C.Rizespor
📍 Samsun 19 May Stadium
Match Preview
Samsunspor arrive in high spirits after back-to-back European wins, including a dominant 3-0 over Dynamo Kyiv. They are unbeaten in their last five league matches and sit just outside the top four. Scoring form is good, though frequent draws have slowed their climb in the table. With confidence growing at home and a strong recent record against Rizespor, they will feel this is a big opportunity. Rizespor have struggled for consistency, picking up only two wins in the league and sitting close to the drop zone. Their away thrashing of Antalyaspor showed what they are capable of, but recent performances have lacked the same intensity. They will hope to repeat last season’s comeback victory against Samsunspor, though defensive issues remain a major concern.

Team News
🏥Samsunspor
Samsunspor are without Tanguy Coulibaly, who will miss several weeks with a knee ligament injury. Olivier Ntcham, Bedirhan Cetin, Soner Aydogdu and Ebrima Ceesay also remain unavailable. Mouandilmadji, Holse and Musaba will again lead the attack after all scoring recently. Musaba continues to be a major creative outlet, and Holse arrives in great form with three goals in his last two league games.
🏥C.Rizespor
Rizespor are missing Ibrahim Olawoyin, Halil Dervisoglu and Valentin Mihaila due to injuries. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Loide Augusto and Yahia Fofana return after missing the Basaksehir match for registration reasons. Qazim Laci’s chance creation and Altin Zeqiri’s accuracy will be key for the visitors, while Ali Sowe could keep his starting role as he looks to get back among the goals.

Analysis
Samsunspor continued their strong run with a convincing 3-1 win away at Kayserispor, extending their unbeaten streak in the league to five matches. Confidence is high as they return home to face Rizespor. The visitors failed to take advantage of their midweek rescheduled match, drawing 0-0 with Basaksehir, and they have now gone three games without a victory while sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone. With Samsunspor in better form and backed by home support, they look favourites to keep their momentum going.
