Rizespor host Trabzonspor in a Super Lig Black Sea Derby on Monday, October 26, 2026. The matchday nine fixture at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu brings together two sides with contrasting recent results: 12th-placed Rizespor are without a win in three matches, while fourth-placed Trabzonspor have won four in a row across all competitions. The visitors also hold the stronger record in the teams’ last five meetings, although Rizespor will have had a full week to prepare for this home game.

Rizespor’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Rizespor enter the derby seeking a response to consecutive defeats. Their latest result was a 2-1 loss to Çorum FK on October 16. They scored in that match but could not avoid extending their winless sequence to three games. Over their last five matches, Rizespor have recorded two wins, one draw and two losses, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded.

Their Super Lig record after eight matches stands at three wins, one draw and four defeats. In league play, they have averaged 1.0 goal scored and 1.4 conceded per game. Home form presents another challenge ahead of Trabzonspor’s visit: Rizespor have gone four straight home matches without a victory. A week without a fixture has given them time to prepare, but their recent results show why this is a demanding test.

There has also been a consistent second-half scoring pattern in Rizespor’s league fixtures. At least one goal has been scored after half-time in each of their last 17 Super Lig matches. That statistic refers to total goals in those games, rather than goals scored by Rizespor alone. It is a useful detail for this preview, though it does not by itself indicate which side will find the net.

Trabzonspor’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Trabzonspor return to Super Lig action following a 2-0 win over Hearts on October 22. That result extended their winning run across all competitions to four matches. They had also beaten Besiktas 2-0 before the Hearts fixture, continuing a strong stretch of league defending: Trabzonspor have kept three successive Super Lig clean sheets and conceded just once in their last five league games.

Across their most recent five matches, the visitors have four wins and one defeat, with averages of 2.2 goals scored and 0.6 conceded. Their eight-match Super Lig record is five wins, one draw and two losses; their league averages are 2.3 goals scored and 0.6 conceded per game. Those figures give Trabzonspor a clear contrast with Rizespor’s league scoring and defensive records heading into the derby.

Mohamed Salah has contributed eight league goals and three assists for Trabzonspor. The visitors’ scoring record extends beyond the current run: they have scored at least once in 26 of their last 28 Super Lig matches. They have also led at half-time in each of their last five matches, including their last three league fixtures. At least one first-half goal, from either team, has featured in each of Trabzonspor’s last 14 matches and their last 12 Super Lig games.

Rizespor vs Trabzonspor Match Analysis

The head-to-head record adds to the visitors’ case. Across the last five meetings listed between these teams, Trabzonspor have won four and Rizespor one, with no draws. In those matches, Rizespor have averaged 1.2 goals scored and 2.2 conceded. The most recent meeting ended 1-0 on March 14, 2026, so the latest scoreline was narrow despite the wider run of results favoring Trabzonspor.

Rizespor’s task is to end both their three-match winless run and their four-game stretch without a home victory. Trabzonspor, meanwhile, arrive with four consecutive wins, three straight league clean sheets and a markedly stronger league scoring average. Rizespor’s recent matches have produced goals at both ends often enough to keep the contest open, but the visitors’ form, defensive record and results in this fixture make them the more convincing side on the supplied evidence.
