Rizespor vs Erzurumspor FK prediction

THE FORECAST

Erzurumspor arrive in better form (LWWDW, 14 pts) versus a Rizespor side that has lost all four home games this season and sits three points adrift with a poor recent run (DLLLD). Rizespor carry several injury absentees (Alikulov, Orak, Diakite, Mihaila, Kutucu) which further weakens their squad depth, while Erzurumspor lose only Yumlu and the suspended Yiğit. Cold, wet and windy conditions (under 10°C, nearly 50mm rain, 29km/h wind) should produce a low-scoring, physical contest suiting neither side's modest attacking numbers (both averaging under 1.1 goals per game), keeping the draw firmly in play but Erzurumspor's superior form and Rizespor's home struggles tipping the balance toward the visitors.
