Göztepe form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Göztepe's two home games in the Super Lig so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Göztepe Gürsel Aksel Stadı.

Göztepe faced defeat in their previous match, away at Altay (1-2). İrfan Can Eğribayat had a busy but productive day in the Altay match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Heartbreak for Göztepe in their last match as Altay's M. Paixao scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.31 out of ten. Eğribayat stopped the opponent with six saves.

Ahead of that match, Göztepe won a home game hosting İstanbul Başakşehir (2-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Göztepe have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won six, drawn four and lost five.

There will be little rest for Göztepe after this match as they are travelling to Galatasaray for a Super Lig game in only four days.

Göztepe has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
