The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Göztepe are in the 8th position while the guesting Ankaragücü worry at 18th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Göztepe and Ankaragücü.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Ankaragücü have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
Ankaragücü are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Göztepe form and stats
When playing at home in the Super Lig, Göztepe have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 14 games.
In their previous game, the manager E. Parlatan led his Göztepe to a defeat in the Super Lig match away at Fenerbahçe. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı. In the match before that, Göztepe hosted Alanyaspor and drew the game 3-3.
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 seven games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super Lig game versus Gençlerbirliği in only three days. This game is also played here at Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı.
