Kasımpaşa take on Rizespor at home knowing that a win would take them into second place. The away side will however, also move into second with a victory so both teams have everything to play for.

The Istanbul minnows have gained a reputation as having the meanest defence in the league. Kasımpaşa have conceded just two goals this season – the best defensive record in the country.

The Istanbul based side have also kept a respectable three clean sheets already. On-loan Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo and his partner in crime Titi deserve a lot of the praise in walling off the Kasımpaşa goal from invading teams.

Omeruo is one of two Chelsea players on loan in the Super League – the other being Maro Marin at Trabzonspor.
