Göztepe form and stats

When playing at home in the Super Lig, Göztepe have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Göztepe to get some points in this home game.

No payout for Göztepe in their previous match, an away game at Galatasaray that ended in defeat 1-3. Preceding that match was the home game against Hatayspor that was lost 0-1.

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 three times, drawn four and lost two.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), Göztepe's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Göztepe have conceded 9 goals.

Fatih Karagümrük form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fatih Karagümrük so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-3 (win-draw-lose).

Karagümrük had fun at their own home (Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı) last time out, beating Galatasaray 2-1. Alassane Ndao and Mevlüt Erdinç scored. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Hatayspor's place.

Mevlüt Erdinç came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Galatasaray last time out, making the manager A. Canel feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Mevlüt Erdinç scored the winning goal ten minutes into stoppage time to defeat Galatasaray.

Karagümrük are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and two defeats. From a total of six matches.
