Both sides arrive on the opening day of the Süper Lig with recent form offering little optimism – Konyaspor have slipped to three straight defeats, while Rizespor’s recent results read loss, win, loss, draw. The fixture also renews a recent rivalry that has swung back and forth over the last year.

Lars's Verdict

Solid
Konyaspor Draw No Bet Lost Solid · Draw safety

The model assigns Konyaspor a combined win‑and‑draw probability of 62.9 %, far above Rizespor’s 37.1 % chance of outright victory, making the draw‑no‑bet the most secure selection.

Show the maths
Konyaspor’s win probability is 37.1 % and the draw probability is 25.8 %; adding these gives a 62.9 % chance that Konyaspor will either win or draw. Rizespor’s win probability remains at 37.1 %, meaning the draw‑no‑bet backs the outcome with the higher combined likelihood. The identical expected‑goals of 1.35 for both sides reinforce the even match‑up, while the model’s higher combined probability for Konyaspor drives the pick. Thus the draw‑no‑bet offers a clear statistical edge.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Konyaspor averaging 1.35 expected goals and Rizespor averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Konyaspor 1.35, Rizespor 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Konyaspor 1.35 + Rizespor 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Konyaspor 1.35 + Rizespor 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Konyaspor at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Rizespor at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Konyaspor

LLL

Konyaspor’s last five league games have all been losses, highlighted by a 2‑3 away defeat to Rizespor, a 0‑3 home loss to Fenerbahçe and a 1‑2 loss away at Kayserispor. The string of defeats shows a team that struggles to find the net and leaks goals, which supports a conservative draw‑no‑bet rather than betting on a win.

Rizespor

LWLD

Rizespor’s recent run reads L‑W‑L‑D: a 0‑2 away loss to Kayserispor, a 3‑2 home win over Konyaspor, a 0‑4 away loss to Eyüpspor and a 2‑2 home draw with Beşiktaş. The mix of a narrow win and a heavy loss indicates volatility, reinforcing the appeal of backing Konyaspor’s draw‑no‑bet to avoid a potential upset.

Head-to-Head

Head‑to‑head meetings have been tight, with a 3‑2 Rizespor win on 1 May 2026, a 1‑1 draw on 6 Dec 2025 and a 2‑1 Konyaspor win on 17 July 2025, suggesting neither side dominates – a pattern that aligns with the draw‑no‑bet choice.
