Göztepe form and stats
Göztepe have played 12 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-6 (wins-draws-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.
A nice win for Göztepe last time playing, versus Altnordu. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Istanbul Basaksehir and winning 2-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Göztepe have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost one.
There will be little rest for Göztepe after this match as they are travelling to Beşiktaş for a Turkish Cup game in only four days.
Göztepe have conceded 13 in these home matches. Göztepe has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Altay form and stats
Altay have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Super Lig, after 2-2-8 (12 played). Altay are desperate to end a 16-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Beşiktaş fixture.
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Konyaspor with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Naderi, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.35. Naderi won 11 of 15 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fenerbahce wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.We have checked recent matches where Altay have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were one victory, one draw and five defeats.
