Rizespor vs Konyaspor Prediction: 01.05.2026 Süper Lig

Rizespor and Konyaspor meet at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu with both sides chasing more than mid-table pride. Rizespor, still reeling from an upset at home against Kayserispor, will look for redemption, while Konyaspor ride a wave of confidence after downing Trabzonspor. The contrasting moods set the tone for a match where both sides need the points to keep ambitions alive. Ali Sowe’s recent goal streak for Rizespor cannot be ignored, and Diogo Gonçalves of Konyaspor has quietly racked up decisive attacking contributions. Both players shift the dynamic every time they get the ball, drawing attention away from the usual midfield battles. Hot stat: Konyaspor have won four of their last five, scoring ten and conceding just three, while Rizespor struggle for rhythm, with just two wins from their last five.

Rizespor vs Konyaspor prediction

We think the best value sits on Konyaspor Double Chance (X2). Despite being away, Konyaspor look like the stronger side right now. Four wins in five, unbeaten in that stretch, and with a more efficient attacking line, they bring momentum and confidence to Rize. Rizespor’s shaky home form and tendency to leak goals add to the argument, especially after that flat performance against Kayserispor.

Neither team racks up yellow cards at an alarming rate, though Konyaspor do play a more aggressive interception game 53 over the last five matches compared to Rizespor’s 40. Rizespor see more of the ball (2022 passes vs. 1743 in the last five) and keep it better (82% pass accuracy), but it rarely turns into dominance. Both sides aren’t shy on fouls (Rizespor 82, Konyaspor 83), which could chop up the rhythm and breed set-piece chances. Corners might come in thick, given the width both teams use in attack. Don’t expect a technical masterclass expect grit, mistakes, and maybe chaos in both boxes.

Team Analysis

Rizespor recent form

Rizespor’s last outing was a 0-2 defeat to Kayserispor a result that stings more given Kayserispor’s own struggles. Defensive lapses, poor transitions, and little bite up front told the story. Rizespor’s form line is lumpy: 2-2 against Fenerbahce, a solid 2-1 over Gaziantep, then a thumping 4-1 over Samsunspor, but sandwiched by losses to Kayserispor and Karagumruk. Sowe remains the main threat, but supply lines dry up under pressure, and the midfield lacks composure when pressed. Pressure mounts in their own third, mistakes sneak in, and the crowd grows anxious.

Konyaspor recent form

Konyaspor looked ruthless in their 2-1 win over Trabzonspor. Tight lines, rapid transitions, and every chance pounced on. Their form since the last month looks elite: 1-0 over Fenerbahce, 2-0 against Antalyaspor, 3-0 at Karagumruk. The only blemish a 2-2 with Samsunspor, where they conceded late but never panicked. Ilhan Palut’s men are compact, pressing in short bursts and disciplined when off the ball. Berkan Kutlu’s emergence as a midfield dynamo complements Diogo Gonçalves up front, while the backline has reduced costly errors to a minimum.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Rizespor the favourite

• Moneyline Rizespor 2.18 | Konyaspor 3.62
• Draw 3.45
• Over/Under Over 2.5 2.07 | Under 2.5 1.80
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.73 | No 2.00

The bookies lean slightly toward Rizespor, most likely due to home advantage and historical parity. But the form tables don’t lie: Konyaspor look hungrier, sharper, and more decisive. Rizespor’s recent let-downs at home keep us wary. Over 2.5 goals is attractively priced given both sides’ attacking streaks and defensive question marks. BTTS looks more probable than not their recent H2Hs and last five matches support that.

Possible Starting Lineups

Rizespor possible starting eleven

Fofana in goal offers composure, while Mocsi and Sagnan anchor a defense that will need to cut out individual errors. Mithat Pala and Hojer provide the width. Laci brings energy in midfield, with Olawoyin and Antalyalı supporting transitions. Sowe leads the line, with Mihăilă expected to drift in from wide and test Konyaspor’s fullbacks. Likely formation: 4-2-3-1. Sowe remains the clear player to watch, but Laci’s engine could swing momentum if he gets on the ball early.

Konyaspor possible starting eleven

Gungordu between the sticks keeps things steady, with Demirbağ and Jevtović running the backline. Kutlu anchors midfield, Bardhi and Ibrahimoglu add technical touch and vision. Gonçalves remains the focal point, supported by hard runners like Svendsen and Bjorlo. Konyaspor stick with 4-1-4-1, pressing in short bursts. Bardhi’s set pieces and Gonçalves’s knack for finding space stand out as major threats.

The Verdict

We’re backing Konyaspor not to lose Double Chance X2 is the value angle for punters. Their away run, sharper form, and ability to turn games around, especially late, make them dangerous. Rizespor’s firepower, mainly from Sowe, might bring them a goal, but Konyaspor’s system and current belief look just a touch more convincing. This one’s set for goals, a few cards, and at least one moment of madness from either defense. Maybe Sowe finds the net, maybe Gonçalves does, but we see Konyaspor walking away with something.
