Rizespor vs Samsunspor Prediction (22.08.2026)

Rizespor started the new season in the Turkish Super League excellently, managing to win their away match against Konyaspor in the very first round. Now the team returns to their home ground for their first home game of the campaign, where they will host Samsunspor. The guests also made a good impression at the start, although they only managed a draw against Göztepe.

Samsunspor managed to equalize at the very end of their first match, but created more chances and might even regret not achieving victory. This suggests that the upcoming clash will not be easy for Rizespor. However, the hosts have an advantage in their recent head-to-head encounters, having won two of the last three matches against Samsunspor, with the other ending in a draw.

I expect a relatively even match, as both teams started the new season positively. Nevertheless, Rizespor has already shown confidence with their away victory, and now they will also have the advantage of playing in front of their own fans, so my prediction is a victory for Rizespor.
