REF’s picks

Fenerbahce possess superior squad depth and a dominant head-to-head record over Rizespor, making an away win the logical choice despite some notable defensive absences. Rizespor can pose occasional counter-attacking threats at home, but the visitors' star-studded lineup should ultimately dictate the tempo and secure the three points.

1. 1Fenerbahce have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings, demonstrating a clear tactical advantage over Rizespor.
2. 2The visitors are missing key defensive personnel such as Jayden Oosterwolde and Milan Skriniar, which could expose them to Rizespor's attack.
3. 3Fenerbahce's recent 8-0 thrashing of Eyüpspor highlights their immense offensive ceiling when firing on all cylinders.
