⭐ Editor's Pick
In home head-to-head matches Konyaspor have the upper hand, while Rizespor consistently struggle away from home - just two wins on the road throughout the entire last season. The visitors' squad has barely changed, and there is no reason to expect a dramatic improvement away. Konyaspor have some defensive absences, but the team plays with more confidence at home. Most likely the hosts will start the season with a win, though probably not a convincing one: Palut's side rarely win by a big margin, and Rizespor are capable of scoring even away. Bet: Konyaspor win. Predicted score - 2:1.
