In that game, Göztepe managed 37% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Antalyaspor got 12 shots on goal with 3 on target.

Leading up to this clash, Göztepe:

In that game, Fenerbahçe had 44% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 7 on target. On the other side, Lille had 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. Bafodé Diakité (90' Own goal) and Jonathan David (116') scored for Lille. The game was won by Lille in extra time.

In their last 6 outings, Fenerbahçe have amassed a total of 15 goals. Fenerbahçe have additionally got on the scoresheet in every single one of those games. Over that period, their defenders have had 6 goals go into their own net. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might be maintained in this next match.

Analysis of their past results shows that Fenerbahçe:

• haven't been beaten by Göztepe when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their last 19 away league matches. It doesn't get much better than that.

ℹ️ Team News: Göztepe

There is just the sole fitness concern for the Göztepe gaffer Stanimir Stoilov to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Kuryu Matsuki (Hamstring strain) won’t play.

It seems likely that Göz Göz will probably go for a 5-3-2 formation for the game, handing starts to Arda Özçimen, Nazim Sangaré, Novatus Miroshi, Koray Günter, Héliton, Djalma Silva, Isaac Solet, Anthony Dennis, Yalcin Kayan, Rômulo Cardoso and Kubilay Kanatsizkus.

ℹ️ Team News: Fenerbahçe

From our viewpoint, Sarı Kanaryalar seem most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Dominik Livakovic, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Jayden Oosterwolde, Alexander Djiku, Levent Mercan, Sebastian Szymański, Dusan Tadic, İsmail Yüksek, Irfan Can Kahveci, Edin Dzeko and Allan Saint-Maximin.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Göztepe certainly have the ability to find the net against this Fenerbahçe lineup, but a single goal might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We therefore reckon that it will be a close game with a 1-2 win for Fenerbahçe when the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
