Rizespor have already secured their place in the Super League for the next season and will face Saturday's match against Hatayspor with a mood strengthened by the 2:1 victory over Besiktas in the previous round. The team is in the middle of the table with 46 points and practically has chances to climb a few positions up for an even more prestigious final ranking. At home, Rize are in a series of three consecutive victories.
Hatayspor are relegated, but play freelyAlthough the fate of Hatayspor has already been decided and they will leave the elite, the team shows fighting spirit, defeating Fenerbahce 4:2 in the previous round. This was the third consecutive match without a loss, and overall this season they have scored 45 goals, but have conceded a total of 69. In the previous clash between the two teams, Rize won 2:1 - a match that was also high-scoring and showed that when these teams meet, goals are not lacking.
Prediction: Over 3.5 goalsBoth sides have attacking potential and unstable defense, which often leads to high-scoring matches. Considering Rizespor's form at home and the free play of the already relegated Hatayspor, I expect a dynamic match with at least four goals.
