Fixture Analysis
Başakşehir welcome Rizespor to Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu in Süper Lig (matchday 33). Kick-off is Sunday 21 April 2024 at 12:30 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Başakşehir stand at 6W 1D 3L — 1.90 PPG. Last five: W W L D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Başakşehir's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 2D 2L (2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Across their last 10 games, Rizespor have recorded 4W 1D 5L — 1.30 PPG. Last five: W L W W W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.80. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.
When travelling, Rizespor have posted 1W 3D 6L from their last 10 away outings — 0.60 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.60 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
Başakşehir carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.60 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.90 vs 1.30. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
H2H
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Başakşehir have won 2, Rizespor 1, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.3 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 2 Dec 2023, ended Başakşehir 2–3 Rizespor — a Rizespor win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.3 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Profile
Başakşehir in-play tendencies (last 32 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (home games); they fail to score in 34% of games.
Rizespor in-play tendencies (last 32 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 87% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 38%; they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Başakşehir 41% versus Rizespor 41%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Başakşehir 38% | Rizespor 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Başakşehir 2.08 xG and Rizespor 1.04 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Başakşehir attack 1.007 / defence 0.883 | Rizespor attack 0.951 / defence 1.437. League average goals — home 1.439 / away 1.241. Rizespor's defence rating of 1.437 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Başakşehir's projected output up. Data: built from Başakşehir's last 68 games and Rizespor's last 32.
Result probabilities: Başakşehir 60% | Draw 24% | Rizespor 16%. Fair-value odds: Başakşehir 1.68 | Draw 4.15 | Rizespor 6.10. The model has a clear lean to Başakşehir (60%) — a 36pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 3.12. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.12 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Başakşehir are the pick at 60% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.12 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.
Poisson assigns a 58% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Başakşehir 40% (last 10 home games) | Rizespor 40% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

On the other side, Rizespor sit at 1.50 PPG from 32 outings (14W 6D 12L), a run that reads W-L-W-W-W across their last five.

Away from home, Rizespor have taken 0.80 points per game from their last 15 away games (3W 3D 9L). That's a step down from their 1.50 PPG overall record — away form has been the weaker part of Rizespor's recent record.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Başakşehir beat Rizespor 2-0 at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu, Regular Season - 33, in the Süper Lig. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Başakşehir 2.08 xG and Rizespor 1.04 xG, a combined 3.12. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Rizespor landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Başakşehir attack 1.01 / defence 0.88 against Rizespor attack 0.95 / defence 1.44, drawn from 68/32 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Başakşehir 60% | Draw 24% | Rizespor 16%, with Başakşehir to win its most likely call at 60%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Başakşehir 38%, Rizespor 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 41%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Başakşehir's trading profile (32 games, 15 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.
Rizespor's trading profile (32 games, 15 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Başakşehir 1.44 PPG, Rizespor 1.50 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Başakşehir win broke the near-deadlock. Başakşehir (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Rizespor (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.13 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
