Rizespor were 2-0 winners against Hatayspor last time out. Strong finishing and well-executed wing attacks brought Rizespor the three points. They will be playing a typical counter-attacking game here and will create quite a few chances against a Besiktas side that is in free fall.
Besiktas suffered a shocking 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Kasimpasa last time out. More than the embarrassing scoreline, it was the abysmal performance that angered the Black Eagles fans. Barring a few young players such as Kilicsoy and Zaynutdinov, the team seems to have given up on the title race already. The board stated that they'd have a new manager hired before the Rize game but following the rejection by Giovanni van Bronckhorst, that is doubtful.
Even if Besiktas find a new manager in time it is hard to see how this team, in its current state, can get anything out of this.
