✍️ Match Preview
Analysis & Preview
A Süper Lig encounter, Regular Season - 26 sees Başakşehir travel to Çaykur Didi Stadyumu to take on Rizespor. The game is scheduled for Friday 18 February 2022, 17:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Rizespor stand at 3W 4D 3L from 10 Süper Lig matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L W D L D. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Rizespor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Rizespor's form when playing at home: 6W 1D 3L across 10 games at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu this term (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.90 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Rizespor are significantly better at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu than their overall form suggests.
Başakşehir — All Games: 5W 3D 2L from 10 Süper Lig fixtures this season — 1.80 PPG. Last five: D L L W W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 0.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.70 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. This season is still relatively young for Başakşehir, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Başakşehir's form when playing away from home: 4W 3D 3L across 10 road games this term (1.50 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game.
The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. Başakşehir are 0.50 PPG ahead (1.80 vs 1.30), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.
Head to Head
The rivalry is an even one: 0 wins apiece for Rizespor, 1 for Başakşehir and 0 shared spoils from 1 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 1 meetings have averaged 3.0 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 26 Sep 2021, ended 0–3 with Başakşehir winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
Trading Patterns
Rizespor in-play and half-time data (24 games, 12 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games); they fail to score in 42% of games.
Başakşehir in-play and half-time data (24 games, 12 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Rizespor 46% versus Başakşehir 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Rizespor 54% | Başakşehir 54%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Rizespor 0.95 xG and Başakşehir 1.24 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: Rizespor attack 0.942 / defence 1.319 | Başakşehir attack 0.861 / defence 0.875. League average goals — home 1.148 / away 1.089. Data: 25 Rizespor games / 24 Başakşehir games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Rizespor 27% | Draw 31% | Başakşehir 42%. Fair-value odds: Rizespor 3.70 | Draw 3.23 | Başakşehir 2.38. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.18. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.18 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Başakşehir at 42% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Başakşehir offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.18 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 37% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 45% on No. Form rates are neutral: Rizespor 60% | Başakşehir 50%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Başakşehir beat Rizespor 0-2 at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu, Regular Season - 26, in the Süper Lig. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Rizespor 0.95 xG and Başakşehir 1.24 xG, a combined 2.18. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Rizespor fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rizespor attack 0.94 / defence 1.32 against Başakşehir attack 0.86 / defence 0.88, drawn from 25/24 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Rizespor 27% | Draw 31% | Başakşehir 42%, with Başakşehir to win its most likely call at 42%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rizespor 54%, Başakşehir 54%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Rizespor's trading profile (24 games, 12 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 42% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Başakşehir's trading profile (24 games, 12 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
On form, Başakşehir arrived the stronger side — 1.67 PPG against 0.96. That form edge translated into the three points. Rizespor (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward. Başakşehir (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.17 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.08 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The numbers read this fixture well — the outcome largely followed the script the data laid out beforehand.
