This could be an interesting match as Göztepe have their presumed home advantage while İstanbul Başakşehir are ahead 15 points in the Super Lig table.
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!
Göztepe form and stats
The story so far in the Super Lig for Göztepe at their home stadium (Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
No payout for Göztepe in their previous match, an away game at Kayserispor that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Gazisehir Gaziantep that ended 1-1.
The Göztepe fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. On the other hand, Göztepe have conceded 11 goals.
İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats
Playing away, İstanbul Başakşehir have won 5 games, drawn 4 and suffered 2 defeats in the Super Lig this season.
İstanbul Başakşehir had fun at their own home (Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı) last time out, beating Gazisehir Gaziantep 3-1. Gaël Clichy, İrfan Can Kahveci and Demba Ba scored. That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Sporting CP (after extra-time) in the Europa League.
İstanbul Başakşehir goalie Mert Günok was high and low in the Gazisehir Gaziantep game, contributing seven saves towards the victory. The 3-1 victory against Gazisehir Gaziantep could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far İstanbul Başakşehir have scored 14 goals in 11 league games away. As opposed to that, İstanbul Başakşehir have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
