It’s not been often in recent times where Göztepe have shown defensive steel.

🗞️ Team News: Göztepe

Novatus Miroshi (unknown injury), Malcom Bokele (Hamstring injury), Juan (Hamstring injury), Isaac Solet (Cruciate ligament tear) and Djalma Silva (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be taking part for Göztepe boss Stanimir Stoilov.

We think that Göz Göz will possibly use a 3-4-1-2 formation, utilising Mateusz Lis, Taha Altikardes, Héliton, Koray Günter, Ogün Bayrak, Anthony Dennis, Dogan Erdogan, Ismail Köybasi, David Tijanic, Emersonn and Rômulo Cardoso.

📋 Team News: İstanbul Başakşehir

We believe Belediye seem likely to elect for a 4-1-4-1 formation with a starting lineup of Muhammed Sengezer, Ömer Ali Sahiner, Ousseynou Ba, Léo Duarte, Christopher Operi, B. Ayberk Özdemir, Yusuf Sari, Miguel Crespo, Olivier Kemen, Ivan Brnic and Philippe Keny.

💡 Prediction

When taking everything into account, İstanbul Başakşehir will have to work hard as a team to score against this Göztepe outfit who we reckon will gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore seeing a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Göztepe when the referee blows for full-time.

Let’s see what happens.
