Trabzonspor has come out of the gates in the 2021-22 Turkish Süper Lig season on fire.
The current table leaders are unbeaten in 10 games, and have a plus-11 goal difference with seven wins and three draws.
The same can't be said for Çaykur Rizespor: they are struggling at the foot of the table with a minus-14 goal difference, and have to go face Trabzonspor Friday. Rizespor has only scored eight goals all season, while allowing 22.
Sometimes, you just have to go with the numbers, and look at a game like this for what it is: first vs. last.
Go with the unbeaten side.
