Turkish Super Lig

Summary

Çaykur Rizespor and Gençlerbirliği face off in a bottom-of-the-table Turkish Super Lig clash on September 15, 2025.
Rizespor remains winless but will look to capitalize on home advantage and the return of Halil Dervişoğlu.
Gençlerbirliği, still pointless after four defeats, hopes to turn its form around despite key injury absences.

The Turkish Super Lig match between Çaykur Rizespor and Gençlerbirliği will take place on Monday, September 15, 2025, at the Çaykur Didi Stadium. Both teams are searching for their first victory of the new season. Rizespor is only ahead of the winless Gençlerbirliği by goal difference in what constitutes an early relegation six-pointer.

Team News

Çaykur Rizespor: Ilhan Palut is not dealing with any new injury issues. On-loan forward Halil Dervişoğlu is back in action, having missed out against his parent club, Galatasaray. Dal Varesanovic, who scored the first league goal of the season, will be looking to start.

Gençlerbirliği: Injury concerns are still rampant. Abdullah Sahindere (cruciate ligament) and Ensar Kemaloğlu (knee) remain out, and Peter Etebo is recovering from a hamstring problem and will not be back until late September. Henry Onyekuru has a muscle concern too, and there is a big doubt, and he may face a late fitness test.

Form Guide

Çaykur Rizespor: The Black Sea club is finding it difficult to establish consistency. After a goalless draw with Alanyaspor, they succumbed to defeats against Göztepe (3-0) and Galatasaray (3-1). They ended the last season quite strongly, but they have lost that momentum now, and a distinct lack of attacking sharpness is becoming a concern.

Gençlerbirliği: Back in the top flight, Huseyin Eroğlu's side have had a nightmare start, losing all four of their league matches. They have scored just three goals while conceding eight and have looked very rarely threatening at the other end. They can take comfort from a 2-1 win they had against Rizespor a little way back in 2021 and will be hoping to repeat that.

Match Preview

This looks like a relegation dogfight. Rizespor has home advantage and a slightly better squad, and will hope to find a way to end their winless run. Ideally, the arrival of Dervişoğlu and the re-emergence of Varesanovic to add a bit of much-wanted spark will start to take effect. Gençlerbirliği appear to be desperate to show they are at this level, but their ongoing injury woes (combined with defensive mistakes) make it very difficult. Clearly, without an option like Onyekuru to infuse some pace in the forward mix could take pressure off Popa.
