Fenerbahce vs Rizespor prediction 19.01.2023

• Competition: Turkish Cup
• Date: 19.01.2023
• Kickoff: 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET
• Venue: Sukru Saracoglu Stadium (Istanbul)

As one of the biggest Turkish clubs, but mostly as the second-placed club in this season of the Turkish 1st league, Fenerbahce is one of the main favorites to win the cup. One of the obstacles on that path will be the club from the 2nd Turkish league, Rizespor.

In the previous round, 1/16 finals, Fenerbahce beat Istanbulspor 3-1. There were not too many problems in that match and the difference in quality was visible. In the last round of the Super League, the yellow and black beat Gaziantep on the away field and continued their pursuit of Galatasaray.

Rizespor lost only 2 times in this year's Turkish 2nd League season, but they didn't win too much either. They have drawn 10 times so far. Such was the result in the previous 2 matches of this team. Last season, Rizespor was a member of the elite, but they were relegated.

Fenerbahce vs Rizespor pick: FENERBAHCE TO COVER AH -1.5

In that previous season, when these two clubs played together, in the same competition, Fenerbahce was more than convincing against Rizespor. In two matches, they scored 10 goals and did not concede a single goal. Rizespor looked very inferior against Fenerbahce, and it is unlikely that there will be any difference in this match. Fenerbahce has very high-quality and experienced players in all positions, and we expect most of the best players to be on the field. The victory of the home team with a 2 or more goal difference is very certain.
