H2H Stats

Prediction

Rizespor had a pretty unconvincing season, so they brought nine new players, like Baiano, Michalak, Remy and Ay and also hired a new and not so experienced manager Stjepan Tomas.

Fenerbahce, too have 11 new players, apart from the new manager Erol Bulut and are slight favourites here, as they looked in good shape in pre-season.
