Caykur Rizespor v Eyüpspor: mid-table push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Caykur Rizespor host Eyüpspor in the Süper Lig on Saturday, 13 December 2025 in Rize, with the hosts chasing breathing space from the pack and the visitors aiming to climb out of the relegation places.

Caykur Rizespor are unbeaten in the past four meetings with Eyüpspor, winning three, including a 1-0 home success in April. That record frames a fixture where recent league momentum is modest on both sides.

Recep Uçar's team drew at Konyaspor after back-to-back home defeats, though they also hit six in the cup against Pendikspor. Eyüpspor have steadied with a league run of one win and two draws in their last three, including victory at Gaziantep.

Selection could be shaped by absences. Caykur Rizespor list Valentin Mihaila injured, with Husniddin Aliqulov, Taha Şahin and goalkeeper Efe Doğan suspended, and Furkan Orak also unavailable. Eyüpspor are without defenders Luccas Claro and Calegari through injury, while Nihad Mujakic is suspended.

On season trends, the hosts have scored 17 and conceded 23, while Eyüpspor have 10 for and 18 against. Jesuran Rak-Sakyi leads Caykur Rizespor's league scoring with four and could be a route to goal, while the visitors may look to stay compact and play for efficiency given their low scoring output.

A home win would take Caykur Rizespor to 18 points and could nudge them towards the top half. Eyüpspor would move to 16 with victory and could climb out of the relegation places.
