Fenerbahçe visit Rize level on points with a Rizespor side that has yet to score at home in the league, yet the visitors have only three goals in three away games.

Fenerbahçe remain the likelier winners, but 1.7 is not a price to take. Both teams to score – No at 2.1 and under 2.5 goals at 2.2 are the two quoted prices that hold up.

Context

Lukaku has started only sparingly for Fenerbahçe this season, logging 197 minutes across eight appearances before the break, yet he scored off the bench for Belgium and Kartal's reported plan is to give him a first Süper Lig start in Rize. If it holds, Fenerbahçe's attacking reference point shifts from a rotating group to a recognised No.9 against a Rizespor side that has yet to win at home. The switch is a press expectation rather than a club announcement, so the personnel call could still move before kickoff.
- Milliyet and Sabah report İsmail Kartal plans to start Romelu Lukaku away to Rizespor on 10 October.
- Lukaku scored for Belgium during the international break, appearing as a substitute against Türkiye.
- He had been limited to 197 minutes across eight Fenerbahçe appearances this season.
- R. Lukaku started 1 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Asensio missed recent matches through injury, but Kartal said on 30 September that the Spaniard was fit, would start the midweek friendly and could be ready for Rizespor, and Asensio then played 83 minutes against Turan Tovuz. Turkish outlets now expect him to start in Rize, which would add a creative passer to a Fenerbahçe side that already leads the league for attacking output. His fitness is described second-hand by reporters, so the exact role and minutes still depend on the coach's final call.
- İsmail Kartal said on 30 September that Marco Asensio was fit, would start the friendly and could be ready for the Rizespor match.
- Asensio played 83 minutes in Fenerbahçe's friendly against Turan Tovuz on 3 October.
- Sabah and Fotomaç report he is expected to start at Rizespor.

Uçar's side sit level on points with Fenerbahçe but have not won at home this season, and he openly framed the fixture as a chance to restore the strong home record Rizespor built last year. He also called Fenerbahçe the league's most prolific and effective attack, signalling a home approach built on discipline rather than pure ambition. The stated intent is confident, yet Rizespor's actual home output so far underlines the gap between plan and results.
- Recep Uçar said Rizespor and Fenerbahçe are level on points and called Fenerbahçe the league's most prolific and effective attack.
- Uçar said Rizespor have not won at home in their first two home games and wants to return to last season's home record.
- He said his side aim to win every game, home or away.
ConfirmedSources checked 6 Oct 2026, 11:16 · Europe/Bucharest
Uçar confirmed Laçi did not join his national team during the break because of the injury he picked up in Rizespor's previous match. Laçi is a central-midfield option, so any absence narrows Rizespor's rotation in the area where Fenerbahçe are strongest through Guendouzi and Kanté. The update dates to 1 October and no firm prognosis has followed, so his availability for kickoff remains unconfirmed.
- Recep Uçar said Qazim Laçi did not join his national team during the break because of an injury picked up in Rizespor's last match.
- The update was given at Rizespor's press conference on 1 October.
