Rizespor vs Basaksehir Prediction: 22.10.2025 Süper Lig

Set in the heart of the Süper Lig regular season, Çaykur Didi Stadyumu hosts an intriguing fixture between Rizespor and Basaksehir on October 22nd. Both teams are in desperate need of a spark—Rizespor looking to solidify their mid-table position, while Basaksehir hope to climb out from just above the relegation zone under Nuri Şahin’s command. While recent form may drive doubts on either camp, attention will surely be high, as previous encounters often produced tactical battles and narrow scorelines.

In spotlight for Rizespor is winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, whose pace and instincts make him a primary outlet in attack, and for Basaksehir, forward Eldor Shomurodov stands out, providing their main goal threat with his three goals from the last five matches. Their duels with opposing defenders could tilt the balance in key moments.

Notably, the “hot stat” to watch: Basaksehir have hit a notable 25 corners over their last five matches, more than double Rizespor’s 13—a trend that could influence corner betting and tilt momentum if Basaksehir can apply attacking pressure.

Rizespor vs Basaksehir prediction

The data edges slightly towards a Rizespor victory, with bookmakers rating their chances at 40 percent vs Basaksehir’s 32 percent. This is underscored by Rizespor’s upcoming home advantage and a less-damaged recent home form, compared to Basaksehir’s ongoing struggles away.

From a style perspective, Rizespor are more aggressive going forward—registering 57 shots across their last five matches and 8 goals, albeit with a vulnerability at the back. Basaksehir, meanwhile, prioritize control and width, as shown by their corner count and slightly superior pass stats (1,602 passes, 84.6 percent avg. accuracy). Rizespor’s higher foul numbers (61 fouls/12 yellows recently) suggest a physical contest, potentially resulting in stoppages that break the rhythm of Basaksehir’s build-up play.

Given both sides’ forms (Rizespor: LWWWL, Basaksehir: WWLLL), and Rizespor’s tendency for higher-scoring home outings, the best value could lie in a home win or draw, with over 2.5 goals as a secondary angle, considering the attacking output on both sides.

Team Analysis

Rizespor Analysis:
Rizespor’s most recent match was a narrow 1-2 loss to high-flying Trabzonspor. Despite the defeat, their attack showed promise with a goal scored and several high-quality chances created. Looking back, their 5-2 win over Antalyaspor displayed offensive versatility, but defensive lapses remain an issue (10 goals conceded in 5 games). Key contributors like Rak-Sakyi and Qazim Laci have delivered in attack, while summer signings are still bedding into İlhan Palut’s attacking 4-2-3-1 structure.

Basaksehir Analysis:
Basaksehir recently fell 1-2 to title contenders Galatasaray, but not without a fight—finding the net and testing the opposition for large spells. Their ongoing goal drought (just 3 scored in last 5), however, is worrisome, even as Shomurodov remains a consistent scoring outlet. Defensively, set pieces have been a struggle, but disciplinary control is better than Rizespor, as reflected in just 8 yellows over 5 games. Defensive anchor Jerome Opoku will be vital again.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Rizespor the favourite

• Moneyline Rizespor 2.38 | Basaksehir 2.95
• Draw 3.46
• Over/Under Over 2.5 2.00 | Under 2.5 1.77
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.85 | No 1.95

Rizespor’s slight edge in odds reflects their home advantage, while Basaksehir’s longer price is due to poor away results and lower recent output. Over 2.5 goals is fairly valued, encapsulating both teams’ propensity for open games with moments of defensive fragility. Both teams to score is also strong, as both sides tend to find the net but cannot consistently keep clean sheets.

Possible Starting Lineups

Rizespor possible starting eleven

Rizespor look set to continue their 4-2-3-1 formation, with the experienced Yahia Fofana anchoring the defense. On the left, Casper Hojer adds an offensive outlet, while Laci and Papanikolaou pull strings in midfield. Rak-Sakyi is the key attacking threat, combining with the mobile Jurecka, who swaps across the frontline.

Basaksehir possible starting eleven

Basaksehir are likely to set up in a 4-2-3-1 structure, favoring experience at the back — led by Opoku and Şengezer. Crespo’s distribution and Özdemir’s box-to-box energy should support forwards Shomurodov and Brnic, who offer pace and flair on the break.

My take on the Match

Given home advantage and higher attacking output, Rizespor are my tip for the win—albeit in a tightly contested encounter. Basaksehir’s set-piece and defensive frailties may give Rizespor the edge if they can manage the counter-attacks. Look for Rak-Sakyi and Laci to be difference makers, with both teams likely to score.
