Important fight in the bottom part of the Super Lig, with both Göztepe and Giresunspor going through more worry than glee. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the hosting team placed 18th and the guests in 19th position.

Insights:
  • Göztepe have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Super Lig
  • Giresunspor have the fewest scored goals (2) in Super Lig

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Giresunspor 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 1-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Giresunspor, who are travelling more than 1200 kilometers to play this game.

Göztepe form and stats

Göztepe have played three Super Lig home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Göztepe has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager N. El Maestro and the players.

The fans are hoping that Göztepe will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Super Lig game against Galatasaray (placed 10th). Midfield player Soner Aydoğdu got a match rating of 7.35 in that game, the max score being 10. Aydoğdu dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 29 successful passes (of 35 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Hatayspor (0-2).

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 four times, drawn two and lost one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Göztepe here at Göztepe Gürsel Aksel Stadı in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). 4 goals have been conceded.

Giresunspor form and stats

No Super Lig points yet away for Giresunspor, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Giresunspor's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Giresunspor delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Kayserispor (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Super Lig game. Midfield player Hamidou Traore was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.63/10. Traore hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

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 Giresunspor have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were two victories, four draws and six defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Giresunspor's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Giresunspor struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Göztepe-Giresunspor H2H statistics last eight meetings regardless of arena: Göztepe two wins, Giresunspor three wins, three draws. two of these eight matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
