Their recent 3-1 away victory against NK Osijek highlights their strong form on the road.

Konyaspor has had a challenging run, especially at home, where they have won just once in their last five matches. Their home average of 0.75 goals scored per game compared to 1.50 goals conceded underscores their defensive vulnerabilities. Away from home, they have fared slightly better but still face challenges, evidenced by their 1-2 loss to Hull City. In contrast, Rizespor has demonstrated a more robust form both at home and away. They have averaged 1.50 goals scored and 0.50 conceded in their recent away fixtures, which could pose a significant threat to Konyaspor’s defense.

Defensively, Rizespor has been more solid, allowing just 0.80 goals per game, a stark contrast to Konyaspor’s 1.40. The head-to-head history favors Konyaspor slightly, but Rizespor's current form and away strength suggest they may reverse the trend. Both teams are free of injuries and suspensions, which means they will be fielding their strongest possible line-ups.
