Çorum FK host Rizespor in the eighth round of the Turkish Super Lig on October 16, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 17:00 local time at Dr. Turhan Kılıçcıoğlu Stadyumu. The sides enter their first official meeting level on 10 points, although Çorum FK sit eighth and Rizespor tenth. Both have recorded three wins, one draw and three defeats in their opening seven league matches. The hosts arrive after a 3-0 victory over Gaziantep F.K., while Rizespor are looking to respond to a 3-0 home defeat against Fenerbahçe. Çorum FK’s recent scoring figures and Rizespor’s contrasting home and away results give this fixture several points of interest.

Çorum FK's Recent Form and Key Stats

For a promoted side, Çorum FK have made a productive start to their Super Lig campaign. Their 3-0 win against Gaziantep F.K. on October 11 left them on 10 points and five points above the relegation zone. It also continued a recent spell in which they have won three of their last five matches, losing the other two.

Goals have been a prominent feature of Çorum FK’s games. Across those last five outings, they have averaged 2.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per match. Their season figures tell a similar story: 2.3 goals scored and 1.7 conceded on average in the Super Lig. Looking further back, Çorum FK have scored at least once in 25 of their last 27 matches. That scoring record offers encouragement ahead of this home fixture, even if their defensive numbers show that opponents have also found openings.

Home form is the main qualification to their encouraging overall start. Çorum FK have lost two of their three league games at home, so the Gaziantep result does not remove the need for improvement in front of their own supporters. This match gives them another opportunity to turn their scoring output into a better home return against an opponent level with them on points.

Rizespor's Recent Form and Key Stats

Rizespor have the same league record as their hosts, but come into the trip after two consecutive matches without a win. Their latest result was a 3-0 home loss to Fenerbahçe on October 10. Over their last five matches, they have collected two wins, one draw and two defeats, scoring 1.4 goals per game on average and conceding 1.2.

Across the Super Lig season, Rizespor have averaged 1.0 goal scored and 1.3 conceded per match. Their away results, however, have been more rewarding than their home performances: all 10 of their points so far have come on the road. In their most recent away fixture, they drew 2-2 with Goztepe, the first time this season they had dropped points away from home. That record provides a clear contrast with their defeat to Fenerbahçe and makes the change of venue an important part of this preview.

There is also a consistent second-half goals trend in Rizespor’s results. Their last 19 away matches have all featured at least one goal after half-time when counting both teams’ goals. The same has been true of their last 16 away Super Lig matches and their last 16 Super Lig matches overall. Those figures describe the total goals in those games, not necessarily goals scored by Rizespor.

Çorum FK vs Rizespor Match Analysis

With both teams on 10 points and carrying identical win-draw-loss records, their recent results offer a more useful distinction than the standings alone. Çorum FK have won three of their last five and arrive following a three-goal victory, but they have lost twice in three home league fixtures. Rizespor have not won either of their last two matches, yet every point they have collected this season has come away from home. As this is their first official meeting, there is no previous head-to-head result to weigh against those current-season patterns.

The goal figures are especially notable. Çorum FK’s recent matches have averaged 2.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded by the hosts, while their season averages stand at 2.3 scored and 1.7 allowed. Rizespor’s last away game finished 2-2, and both clubs’ latest matches contained three goals. These results do not guarantee another high-scoring contest, particularly given Rizespor’s season average of one goal scored per game, but they provide a factual basis for expecting chances at either end. Rizespor’s long run of away fixtures with a second-half goal also suggests that the period after the break is worth watching.
