Galatasaray vs. Caykur Rizespor Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Galatasaray and Caykur Rizespor, taking place on Sunday, 15 September 2024, at Rams Park in Istanbul.
Galatasaray, Recent Form
In their last match Galatasaray enforced their superiority over Adana Demirspor with a 5-1 away win. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Adana Demirspor's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Okan Buruk will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
When it comes to home matches at Rams Park, Mauro Icardi will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Galatasaray in their last 6 home games.
Caykur Rizespor, Recent Form
Failing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Kasimpasa will have left the Caykur Rizespor squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 62% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Kasimpasa, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games away from home.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
On an individual basis, Ibrahim Olawoyin will be looking to cause Galatasaray some problems having scored 2 goals in Caykur Rizespor's last 6 away games in the league.
Galatasaray vs. Caykur Rizespor Head to head
After a good 6-2 win for Galatasaray in this pair's last league encounter, Caykur Rizespor will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Galatasaray have scored in each of their last 14 games at home in the league against Atmacalar. When C. Rizespor visit Cimbom in the league, goals tend to happen, with 8 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.67 goals per match. We have seen plenty of goals from Cimbom when they play at home against C. Rizespor. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 13 goals, which is an average of 4.33 goals per game.
C. Rizespor will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Galatasaray in the league.
