VS
Besiktas hold the broader edge over Rizespor, although a draw and a Rizespor win add meaningful counterpoints. The teams drew 2–2 in Rize on 15 May 2026, while Besiktas won 4–1 in the Turkish Cup on 4 March 2026. Besiktas also won 1–0 at home on 20 December 2025, but Rizespor answered with a 2–1 victory in Istanbul on 25 May 2025. Future meetings retain room for both patterns.

Stats for this game
Matchup Beşiktaş VS Rizespor
Besiktas set the stronger direction
Besiktas’ 4–1 Türkiye Kupası win on 4 March 2026 and 1–0 Süper Lig success on 20 December 2025 show their edge in contrasting competition settings. The larger cup margin points to a more emphatic home result, while the league score reflects a tighter contest at the same venue. Their 2–2 draw at Rizespor on 15 May 2026 adds an away result in which Besiktas avoided defeat without turning the meeting into another win across these venues.
Rize supplies the counterweight
Rizespor’s 2–1 victory at Besiktas on 25 May 2025 prevents the matchup from reading as one-directional. That away success sits alongside the 2–2 draw in Rize, giving Rizespor clear evidence that they can resist Besiktas in different settings. The broader pattern still favours Besiktas, but the scorelines leave a practical question for future meetings: can Rizespor reproduce that away response, or will Besiktas convert their stronger direction into another decisive home result?
