Match Analysis
Rizespor host İstanbulspor at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 12. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 12 November 2023 at 13:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Süper Lig games this season, Rizespor have gone 4W 2D 4L from 10 outings — a 1.40 PPG return. Last five: L W L L L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — 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 at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu this season: 2W 2D 1L from 5 home games — 1.60 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 0.60 goals scored and 0.40 conceded per game. 3 clean sheets from 5 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
İstanbulspor — All Games: 1W 1D 8L from 10 Süper Lig fixtures this season — 0.40 PPG. Last five: L W L L L. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for İstanbulspor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
İstanbulspor away from home this season: 2W 2D 6L from 10 away games — 0.80 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game.
Rizespor carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.00 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.40 vs 0.40. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
Trading Patterns
Rizespor in-play and half-time data (11 games, 5 at home): they score before half-time in 40% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 20% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 0% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.
İstanbulspor in-play and half-time data (11 games, 5 at away): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 100% of those occasions; when winning at HT they fail to see it out 27% of the time; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games); they fail to score in 36% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Rizespor 46% versus İstanbulspor 64%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Rizespor 46% | İstanbulspor 46%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Rizespor 1.15 xG and İstanbulspor 0.84 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 0.628 / defence 0.854 | İstanbulspor attack 0.791 / defence 1.213. League average goals — home 1.505 / away 1.250. Rizespor's attack strength of 0.628 is below the league average — the 1.15 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. İstanbulspor bring a strong defensive rating of 1.213 — this is suppressing Rizespor's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 11 Rizespor games / 47 İstanbulspor games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Rizespor 41% | Draw 34% | İstanbulspor 25%. Fair-value odds: Rizespor 2.44 | Draw 2.94 | İstanbulspor 4.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 34% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 41% | Total xG 1.99. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 1.99 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 41% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Rizespor as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 34% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Rizespor offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 1.99 combined xG gives a 32% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 41% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Rizespor 20% | İstanbulspor 50% BTTS from recent games.

How the Model Works This Match
Working from Rizespor's attack rating (0.63) and İstanbulspor's defence rating (1.21), the model arrives at 1.15 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, İstanbulspor's attack versus Rizespor's defence, projects 0.84 expected goals for the visitors.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Rizespor beat İstanbulspor 1-0 at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu, Regular Season - 12, 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 1.15 xG and İstanbulspor 0.84 xG, a combined 1.99. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. İstanbulspor landed 0.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rizespor attack 0.63 / defence 0.85 against İstanbulspor attack 0.79 / defence 1.21, drawn from 11/47 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Rizespor 41% | Draw 34% | İstanbulspor 25%, with Rizespor to win its most likely call at 41%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 32%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 61% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rizespor 46%, İstanbulspor 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Rizespor's trading profile (11 games, 5 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not.
İstanbulspor's trading profile (11 games, 5 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Rizespor arrived the stronger side — 1.27 PPG against 0.45. That form edge translated into the three points. İstanbulspor (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.00 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.
