Rizespor vs Besiktas Prediction 15 May 2026
π The Turkish Super Lig is rapidly approaching its conclusion, with Matchday 34 set to kick off. Rizespor and Besiktas will get things underway. Rizespor find themselves stuck in mid-table with little left to play for, while Besiktas have already secured fourth place and a spot in next seasonβs Conference League qualifiers. With both sides lacking strong motivation, it will be interesting to see how this encounter unfolds.
Head-to-Head
The most recent official meeting between these sides took place on 04 March 2026, with the Istanbul club cruising to a 4-1 victory. Hereβs how the teams stacked up statistically in that match (BeΕiktaΕ were the hosts):

Head-to-head statistics Rizespor - Besiktas
Caykur Rizespor Team Overview
Rizespor last played an official match on in the Super Lig, suffering a heavy 0-4 defeat away to EyΓΌpspor.
The key stats from that game (Rizespor vs EyΓΌpspor) are as follows:
- Possession: 61% vs 39%;
- Corners: 6 vs 3;
- Fouls committed: 10 vs 8;
- Yellow cards: 0 vs 0;
- Shots on target: 4 vs 6.
Rizespor have picked up two wins, suffered two defeats, and recorded one draw in their last five outings. The side from Rize are all but certain to finish the season inside the top ten-a solid achievement for a single campaign.
The team averages just over a goal per game, with a scoring rate of 1.33 goals. However, their defensive line remains vulnerable, conceding nearly two goals per match-a statistic that explains their struggles against stronger opponents. Still, on home turf, the club consistently finds ways to pick up points even with a challenging fixture list. The trend is clear: Rizespor have lost just once in their last 11 home matches.

Besiktas Istanbul Team Overview
BeΕiktaΕ last played an official match on in the SΓΌper Lig, falling 2-1 at home in Istanbul to Trabzonspor. That fixture held little significance, as Sergen YalΓ§Δ±nβs side had already lost their shot at a top-three finish.
The key stats from that match (BeΕiktaΕ vs Trabzonspor):
- Possession: 63% vs 37%;
- Corners: 7 vs 3;
- Fouls: 12 vs 13;
- Yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
- Shots on target: 5 vs 6.
Besiktas have delivered the most consistent win record over the long haul of the season-securing 17 victories and suffering 8 defeats through 33 rounds. While fourth place and a spot in the Europa Conference League may not be the ultimate ambition for the Black Eagles, Sergen Yalcin has at least ensured European football for his side.
Over their last ten matches, the Istanbul club have claimed five wins and suffered four losses, averaging 1.5 goals scored per game while keeping defensive lapses to a minimum (conceding just 0.9 per match). Still, their recent form is far from rock-solid: back-to-back setbacks heading into this fixture highlight signs of fatigue as the season draws to a close.

Latest news
Besiktas Istanbul
β The visitorsβ most notable absentee is Milot Rashica, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season. However, his absence isn't a major blow to their attack, as the Kosovan has lost his starting spot this year and has mostly featured as a substitute for the Istanbul club. Kartal Kayra Yilmaz will also miss out due to an ankle injury, but, much like Rashica, he was primarily involved during the first half of the campaign and has since been a fringe player.

β Editorial Prediction
Given Rizesporβs consistent home form and their tendency to pick up at least a point on their own turf, this becomes a decisive factor in our prediction. While BeΕiktaΕ have posted stronger overall numbers this season, the visitors have hit a rough patch lately and no longer look as dependable away from home. Backing Rizespor to avoid defeat appears to be the most sensible bet here.No comments
