↔️ Head to head

A review of their past head to head results going back to 18/07/2020 reveals that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Göztepe. They’ve not been able to get themselves any wins at all whereas Galatasaray have dominated them, winning in 100% of those games played.

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 23 overall which averages out at 3.83 goals per match.

The previous league meeting between these sides was Super Lig match day 18 on 04/01/2025 when it ended Galatasaray 2-1 Göztepe.

That time, Galatasaray had 59% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The goalscorers were Victor Osimhen (10') and Yunus Akgün (61').

At the other end, Göztepe got 7 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Rômulo (27') scored.

The match was refereed by Alper Akarsu.

ℹ️ Team News: Göztepe

İsmail Köybaşı (Rib fracture), Doğan Erdoğan (Torn thigh muscle), Juan (Hamstring injury), Isaac Solet (Cruciate ligament tear) and Djalma Silva (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Göztepe boss Stanimir Stoilov.

In all likelihood, Göz Göz should employ a 3-4-1-2 formation this time, beginning the first half with Arda Özçimen, Malcom Bokele Mputu, Koray Günter, Héliton, Ogün Bayrak, Ahmed Ildiz, Anthony Dennis, Lasse Nielsen, David Tijanic, Kubilay Kanatsizkus and Rômulo Cardoso.

📰 Team News: Galatasaray

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk to contend with. Mauro Icardi (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Cimbom appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Günay Güvenc, Roland Sallai, Davinson Sánchez, Abdlkerim Bardakci, Evren Eren Elmali, Lucas Torreira, Mario Lemina, Yunus Akgün, Álvaro Morata, Baris Yilmaz and Victor Osimhen.

💡 Prediction

Our pre-match assessment is that Galatasaray should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Göztepe could well struggle to find the back of the net, although we do see them pulling one back during this clash.

We’re predicting a 1-3 winning score for Galatasaray come full-time.
