Caykur Rizespor v Alanyaspor: mid-table reset meets top-half push | OneFootball

Caykur Rizespor host Alanyaspor in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 25 January 2026 in Rize, with mid-table points at stake as the hosts sit 12th on 18 points and the visitors 10th on 21.

The reverse fixture in August finished 0-0. Caykur Rizespor have five clean sheets this season, Alanyaspor have seven and an even goal difference, pointing to a tight game if trends hold.

Recent momentum contrasts. Caykur Rizespor have one win in their last five in all competitions and were beaten 3-1 at Göztepe last time in the league, while Alanyaspor's run reads three wins, one draw and one defeat, losing 3-2 to Fenerbahçe most recently.

Caykur Rizespor are without defender Husniddin Aliqulov and the suspended Furkan Orak. Alanyaspor are missing Bruno Viana and Buluthan Bulut through injury, while Enes Keskin, Izzet Çelik, Yusuf Ozdemir and Bedirhan Özyurt are suspended.

The hosts have scored 21 and conceded 27, while Alanyaspor sit at 18 for and 18 against. Wide supply could matter. Alanyaspor deliver more open-play crosses than the hosts, and creators Florent Hadergjonaj and Hwang Ui-jo each have three league assists. For Caykur Rizespor, Qazim Laci has three assists and Jesuran Rak-Sakyi has four league goals.

A home win would lift Caykur Rizespor to 21 points and tighten the mid-table pack. Victory for Alanyaspor would take them to 24 points and could strengthen a top-half push.
