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 12th position while the guesting İstanbul Başakşehir worry at 17th.
- Göztepe have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- İstanbul Başakşehir have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Göztepe form and stats
When playing at home in the Super Lig, Göztepe have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games.
Göztepe lost their last game at Gazisehir Gaziantep (placed 7th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that, Göztepe drew at home versus Yeni Malatyaspor.
This is expected to be a close game, with Göztepe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Göztepe as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Göztepe has won four of these, drawn four and lost four.
Göztepe have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı with 21 goals in 11 league matches. On the other hand, Göztepe have conceded 13 goals.
İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats
İstanbul Başakşehir have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Super Lig, after 3-1-7 (11 played). Recent form does not give Başakşehir much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Göztepe will be a tough nut to crack. İstanbul Başakşehir seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Başakşehir aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 190 league minutes without a goal. M. Kamara (own goal) was the last player to find the net.
It's the second away game in a row for İstanbul Başakşehir, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Fenerbahçe (after extra-time) (placed 3rd) in the Turkish Cup last time out. A loss against Fatih Karagümrük was the result prior to that, in a Super Lig home game.
F. Gulbrandsen came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Fenerbahçe (after extra-time) last time out, making the manager A. Kocaman feel like a tactical genius.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Başakşehir playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three İstanbul Başakşehir wins, four draws and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Başakşehir as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. Başakşehir have conceded 22 goals in these games.
