Kayserispor's Miracle in Rize: Underdog Strikes Gold
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 28/100. Kayserispor defy the odds to steal a 1-0 victory at Rizespor, with László Benes' clinical finish proving the decisive moment in a relegation-form showdown.
Intensity and Control: Rize's Dominance Undone
Rizespor commanded the pitch with 59% possession and unleashed 16 shots, but Kayserispor's defensive intensity proved impenetrable. Bilal Bayazit made three crucial saves to keep the visitors' clean sheet intact. Despite 26 combined attempts with 8 on target, Rize lacked the clinical edge—their 1.42 xG yielded nothing against Kayserispor's measured, opportunistic approach.
Benes Delivers the Killer Blow
The turning point came in the 57th minute when László Benes converted from R. Civelek's assist. One moment of clinical finishing—that was all Kayserispor needed. The Hungarian midfielder's 8.5 rating reflected his match-defining contribution. João Mendes orchestrated the midfield with four key passes, ensuring every possession counted.
Balance Shattered: Upset Sealed
Rize's territorial dominance evaporated the moment Benes struck. Kayserispor, operating with just 41% possession and 0.64 xG, absorbed the pressure and struck with ruthless precision. This six-pointer in the relegation battle showcases the upset factor at its peak—a 26% probability gap that the visitors closed with defensive discipline and one lethal counter-attack. In the Süper Lig's bottom half, such victories are worth their weight in gold.
Key Questions
What made László Benes the Man of the Match?
Benes' 57th-minute goal proved decisive. His 8.5 rating, one key pass, and clinical finishing defined Kayserispor's upset victory in a tight relegation battle.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Rize and Kayseri Collide in Defensive Minefield
Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 49/100. Two struggling sides meet where defensive frailty will determine the winner—neither can afford another collapse.
The Setup
Form is dire on both flanks. Rizespor have won just twice in seven home matches, while Kayserispor sit 16th with 13 points—survival-mode football. Yet Balance intrigue: Kayseri's attacking verve can exploit Rize's leaky backline. Stakes are low—neither chases the title nor fights relegation, making this a pure mid-table tussle.
Key Battle
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (Rize) vs German Onugkha (Kayseri). Rak-Sakyi's 7.9 rating in his last outing signals home stability, but Onugkha's five goals in five matches—a goal-per-game machine—poses an existential threat to Rize's backline. Rak-Sakyi's pace on the wing can punish Kayseri's sluggish transitions; Onugkha's positioning will test goalkeeper Yahia Fofana's 5.3 saves-per-game average.
Our Prediction
Rizespor 2-1. Home advantage and Fofana's reflexes—16 saves across three matches—edge Rize past Kayseri's threat. But João Mendes' three assists and Onugkha's relentless movement keep the door open. This is open-field football: both attacks sharper than both defences. Expect chaos, clinical finishing, and a narrow home win.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?
Low Stakes and patchy Form mean better options exist. But if you crave unpredictable, open attacking play, it's worth a look.
What's the predicted outcome?
Rizespor 2-1 Kayserispor. Home edge and Fofana's shot-stopping edge the hosts past Onugkha's threat.
Where are Rizespor and Kayserispor in the league table?
Rizespor 12th on 15 points; Kayserispor 16th on 13 points. Both mid-table, neither in title or relegation contention.
What is Rizespor's current form?
Last five: DLLDW (Loss-Draw-Loss-Draw-Win). Erratic, especially at home—just two wins in seven matches.
Who is the in-form player to watch?
German Onugkha (Kayserispor): 5 goals in 5 matches, 7.4 average rating. A clinical finisher who can torch Rize's defence.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
