Eyüpspor form and stats

Eyüpspor have been very solid at home in the 1. Lig so far, with 21 points collected from 7 matches (7-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Eyüpspor are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location.

Eyüpspor enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Genclerbirligi's place. The match ended 2-0 with Babel and Dibba scoring.

Ahead of that match, a home win against Duzcespor in the Turkish Cup. The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Eyüpspor's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 2 matches, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Göztepe form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Göztepe so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose).

Göztepe had fun at their own home (Eyüp Stadı) last time out, beating Keciorengucu 2-1. Palmer and Öztekin scored. Palmer came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Keciorengucu last time out, making the manager Altay feel like a tactical genius.

Before that game, the win at home against Tire 1922 in the Turkish Cup (2-0). As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Göztepe playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 4 home wins.

Look out: 8 of the last 10 league games involving this team have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).
