Fenerbahce are gunning for their first league title since 2014 and will be going for three points when they host Rizespor in the 21st round of matches in the Super Lig. They are placed second on 42 points and the visitors are 13th with 25 points. Two points separate Fenerbahce from the leaders, Besiktas and they’ll be hoping to leap to the top after this round. A run of eight matches unbeaten, with seven wins fuels that ambition well. Fenerbahce have one loss in 10 matches and have scored in each of the last 10 matches. In the last five alone, they’ve scored 11 goals and the arrival of Mesut Ozil will further boost their attack. He is expected to debut in this clash and it will be great at home, where they have six straight wins, four in the league. In the last five home matches, Fenerbahce have scored 13 and conceded just three.

This is going to be a very tough game for Rizespor; they have the worst defence among the teams outside the relegation zone. They’ve conceded 35 goals so far and have just one clean sheet in the last 10 matches. In terms of attack, Rizespor are not the best either – they have only scored two or more twice in the last 10 matches. Rizespor have four straight losses against Fenerbahce while each of their last eight meetings has produced over 2.5 goals. Very few teams have a worse away record than Rizespor. They are winless in the last eight away matches and have one win in 21 away matches. The poor away run is majorly due to a leaky defence, which has let in two or more in the last seven in the league. They have scored four goals but conceded 14 in the last five away league matches.
