Rizespor vs Adanaspor

INTERESTING STATS : -

 

Adanaspor could hit the nets in last 9 matches at both away or home. Adana scored in 6 of 7 last away matches.

 

Rizespor scored in last 10 league matches. Rizespor is the most conceding team at home matches after Bucaspor, Sakaryaspor (relegated already), Istanbulspor (relegated already). Rizespor is the most scoring team of the league.

 

Being honest I was excepting Adanaspor to beat Rizespor but not with a convincing result of 3-1. The instinct of saving the score they conceded 1 goal and even Ilkem’s own goal was blocked by the bar in last minutes. Rizespor’s mistakes in defense prepared this defeat in the first leg. The match will only be watched by the children and women due to the penalty given by Turkish Football Federation. The main fans will not be taken to the stadium. But I want to remind here that their stad is very compact and I am sure the atmosphere will be good. Besides Rizespor is a team who was not successful at home matches. I believe the reason is due to the pressure they get under from the crowd which are so close to the pitch. We saw in last league match against Akhisar how it was and the craziness of fans. Now they are punished as they entered to the field in last minutes of the game. Rizespor is not punished. I guess they have more chance without those uncivilized fans.

 

Adanaspor performed great performance in the last 2 months and now they are so close to the final for promotion. The whole club managers and fans united and creating big synergy for them.

 

The fact is:-- Defenders of Rizespor, Sezer and Osman are not fast enough to cut the attacks of Mbilla and Burak of Adanaspor. Therefore the visitors have big chance to hit the nets at least once.

 

Rizespor will need at least 2 goal difference and they have a good offense line to achieve it but the reality I mentioned above and the stats are telling me that they will concede too.
