Çaykur Rizespor come into this one having lost their last league match 2-1 at Fatih Karagümrük, while Samsunspor were held to a 2-2 draw by Konyaspor at home. That keeps the conversation firmly on goals at both ends, with Rizespor failing to keep a clean sheet in each of their last two league outings and Samsunspor scoring twice despite conceding two in their most recent Super Lig game.
The home and away numbers also lean toward both teams finding a way through. Rizespor’s home league record reads five wins, two draws and six losses with 13 scored and 17 conceded, while Samsunspor’s away return is four wins, five draws and four losses with 18 scored and 18 conceded. Those are not shut-down profiles, and the league averages are modest enough that one goal each would not be out of place here.
Recent form adds to that picture. Rizespor have lost their last league match and have only two games without a win now, while Samsunspor are unbeaten in their last three matches and have scored in four of their last five league and European fixtures. Their latest home draw with Konyaspor also featured two goals for each side, which is the sort of pattern that keeps BTTS alive even if the game finishes level.
The head-to-head record is another useful pointer, with four of the last four meetings at Çaykur Rizespor seeing both teams score. The most recent league meeting in October 2025 ended 1-1 in Samsun, and that scoreline fits the broader numbers here: Rizespor’s home games and Samsunspor’s away games both tend to be competitive rather than one-sided.
My prediction is Both Teams To Score at 67/100. Rizespor have not kept a clean sheet in their last two league matches, Samsunspor have scored in four of their last five, and both sides carry balanced home/away goal records. The most recent head-to-head also finished 1-1, which suits the BTTS angle even if the projected total is not especially high.
