Evenly matched teams: Kayserispor vs Göztepe match preview

This looks to be an intriguing match with lots of fun and excitement as both teams are well recovered since they last played a game. Let's get started!

This ground has grass, which is not Göztepe's normal surface at their own stadium. When playing on grass Göztepe have performed like this: Played 40 matches with the results 12 wins, 11 draws and 17 defeats with the goal data 51-60 (scored/conceded).

Göztepe have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Kayserispor form and stats

When playing at home in the Super Lig, Kayserispor have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games.

Kayserispor travelled for their previous game, a trip to Fenerbahce that ended 2-2. A disappointing finish for Kayserispor in their match versus Fenerbahce as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. Dimitris Kolovetsios was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.63 out of 10. The defender Kolovetsios scored one goal and won 1 of 3 duels.

Ahead of that match, Kayserispor won a home game hosting Fatih Karagumruk (2-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Kayserispor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kayserispor as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Kayserispor has won four of these, drawn six and lost two.

A decent goal production from Kayserispor in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. Kayserispor are not conceding a lot of goals here at Kadir Has Şehir Stadı in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.

Göztepe form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Göztepe so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose).

Göztepe failed to get anything from their last game, a Super Lig home match vs Konyaspor (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-2. It's a bit troubling for Göztepe that their goalie İrfan Can Eğribayat managed eight saves in the Konyaspor fixture, but still were unable to rescue them from a beating. İrfan Can Eğribayat (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.05. Eğribayat stopped the opponent with eight saves.

A 2-2 draw at Alanyaspor's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Göztepe playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were one Göztepe win, five draws and seven defeats.

Göztepe are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. Göztepe struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.
