Samsunspor desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 31 at 7:00 PM in the Süper Lig. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Samsunspor come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5). Rizespor, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Samsunspor and Rizespor have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Rizespor won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Samsunspor a slight edge, but Rizespor are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
