Fenerbahçe needs to keep winning to maintain pressure on Galatasaray in the title race. With the gap currently at six points, José Mourinho’s side remains within reach.

After a solid midweek result—a 2-2 draw in Denmark against Midtjylland—Fenerbahçe is likely to rotate some key players for this match. However, they are still strong favorites to secure a win against Rizespor for two key reasons.

First, their head-to-head record is overwhelmingly in Fenerbahçe’s favor, having won the last 11 encounters between the two sides. Second, Rizespor struggles on the road, losing six of their 10 away matches this season with a goal difference of 8:17, showing a tendency to concede. In their last five away games, they have managed just one win, which came against bottom-placed Hatayspor (2-1).
