Çorum FK hosts Rizespor on 16 October 2026 at 20:00 in a Süper Lig clash between two sides prone to both prolific attacking and defensive lapses. Çorum won three of their last five matches, including a 5–1 demolition of Samsunspor and a 3–0 victory over Gaziantep, but also suffered a 2–6 loss to Beşiktaş. Rizespor have taken two wins from five recent outings, most recently losing 0–3 to Fenerbahçe after a 2–2 draw with Göztepe. The away side's form on the road stands out: they won at Eyüpspor (2–0) and Gaziantep (2–1) while drawing with Göztepe, unbeaten in three consecutive away matches.
Form and H2H
Çorum's last ten home matches show five wins, one draw, and four losses, averaging 2.06 goals for and 1.37 against. Their recent attacking output masks underlying volatility: across five games they scored 14 goals from an expected 5.26, a significant overperformance that may not persist. They fired 53 shots with 27 on target and created 11 big chances. Defensively, nine goals conceded nearly matched their expected goals against of 8.98, suggesting the backline is vulnerable despite creating volume.
Rizespor's away record in their last ten matches reads five wins, two draws, and three losses, averaging 1.20 goals for and 1.00 against. Over five recent games they scored six goals from 5.92 expected, a balanced conversion rate, while conceding seven from 8.11 expected. They took 52 shots and created 12 big chances. The 0–3 defeat to Fenerbahçe exposed defensive fragility under sustained pressure, yet their three-match unbeaten run away from home suggests improved stability on the road compared to their overall season performance.
Best bet
Çorum's attacking threat at home combined with Rizespor's recent away form points toward a goals-heavy contest. Eight of the last ten meetings between these sides produced three or more goals. Çorum average 1.33 goals at home while Rizespor average 1.75 away, and the home side's inflated goal tally relative to expected performance suggests they will create chances.

Odds to watch
Çorum's home advantage and recent attacking form make the home win attractive at 1xBet 2.13 or 1Win 2.01, though their defensive inconsistency leaves room for doubt. Rizespor's unbeaten away streak and solid underlying metrics support the draw at 1xBet 3.75 or 1Win 3.68. The away win at 1xBet 3.4 or 1Win 3.31 reflects the visitors' improved road form, though Çorum's ability to generate volume in the final third remains a threat.
