Fenerbahce Aims to Extend Dominance Over Rizespor in Turkish Super Lig

RIZE, Turkey – Fenerbahce is set to face Caykur Rizespor in a crucial Turkish Super Lig match on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at Caykur Didi Stadyumu. The game kicks off at 12:00 PM local time as Fenerbahce aims to continue its climb toward the top of the league.

In their last six matches across all competitions, Fenerbahce has found success, winning five and narrowing the gap to league leaders Galatasaray. Following four straight league victories, the Yellow Canaries are brimming with confidence.

Most recently, Fenerbahce triumphed 4-2 against Kayserispor, featuring a standout performance from Dorgeles Nene, who scored twice. Fenerbahce manager Domenico Tedesco has led the team to 25 points from 11 games, elevating their position from seventh to contend for the title.

On the other hand, Caykur Rizespor, placed 10th in the league with 14 points from 12 matches, is also in decent form, remaining unbeaten in their last five outings, including a 2-2 draw with Gaziantepspor. However, they will need to break a daunting streak of 11 consecutive defeats to Fenerbahce in league play.

Historically, Rizespor last defeated Fenerbahce in 2018. The team’s current lineup faces injury concerns, with winger Loide Augusto sidelined and two key players under investigation due to a betting scandal.

Fenerbahce faces its own challenges with the absence of Nelson Semedo due to disciplinary reasons and midfielder Sebastian Szymanski injured. Nonetheless, they remain favorites to win the match, bolstered by their offensive capabilities.

The clash promises to be intense, as both teams strive to secure vital points. With Fenerbahce’s strong history against Rizespor and their current form, the visitors will be eager to maintain their momentum and keep pressure on Galatasaray at the top of the standings.
