One of the second-round group stage matches of the Turkish Cup will take place on Wednesday in Istanbul, where local Rizespor will host Ankaragücü at the Çaykur Didi Stadium. Here's a bet suggestion with a good odds value for this game.

Match Preview

Rizespor approaches the second-round match of the Turkish Cup following an away game in Istanbul, where they lost 2-3 to the in-form Fenerbahçe. Rizespor scored two goals by the 13th minute, but after receiving a red card in the 45+7th minute, they couldn't withstand the "Canaries" (xG – 4.40-0.32).

This defeat was their second in the last three Super Lig rounds, dropping the team to 10th place in the standings. They are now 12 points behind the top four, while the relegation zone remains a comfortable 10 points away. In the first round of the Turkish Cup, Rizespor lost 0-1 away to Karagümrük.

Meanwhile, Ankaragücü is competing in the First League this season. Over the weekend, they faced Ümraniyespor and lost 1-2 despite opening the scoring in the 6th minute. It's worth noting that the team has struggled in recent rounds, losing three of their last four matches with only one win during this stretch.

After 22 rounds, Ankaragücü has accumulated 30 points and currently sits in 13th place in the standings. They are only three points ahead of the relegation zone, indicating that a tough survival battle lies ahead. In the first round of the Turkish Cup, the capital team hosted İskenderunspor and managed only a 1-1 draw.

Probable Lineups

  • Rizespor: Cetin, Pala, Alikulov, Moksi, Sahin, Hadziahmetovic, Varesanovic, Akintola, Olawoyin, Ghezzal, Sow
  • Ankaragücü: Özbir, Belazer, Tekdemir, Coelho, Çoçkaliş, Celik, Kitsiou, Ceballos, Sapunaru, Wraga, Bajic

Match Facts and Head-to-Head

  • Last season, the teams also faced each other in the Cup, with Ankaragücü winning 3-1 at home.
  • The "Both Teams to Score" bet has won in their last five encounters.
  • Both league matches last season ended in draws.

Prediction

Bookmakers favor the elite division representative in this match, offering odds of around 1.68 for a Rizespor win. Considering the statistics from recent games, a "Both Teams to Score" bet with odds of 1.80 seems like a solid choice.
