🗞️ Team News: Yeni Malatyaspor

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Yeni Malatyaspor gaffer Marius Şumudică to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Nuri Fatih Aydin (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is sidelined. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Nuri Fatih Aydin, Benjamin Tetteh and Didier Ndong.

We think that Yeni Malatyaspor could make use of the 5-4-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Ertac Ozbir, Okechukwu Azubuike, Sadik Ciftpinar, Semih Kaya, Wallace, Karim Hafez, Nouha Dicko, Mustafa Eskihellac, Godfred Donsah, Mounir Chouiar and Kenan Ozer.

📰 Team News: Göztepe

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is just the one fitness worry for the Göztepe manager Nestor El Maestro to contend with. Dzenan Burekovic (Corona virus) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Göz Göz might utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, starting the game with Irfan Egribayat, Atakan Cankaya, Atinc Nukan, Wilker Angel, Kerim Alici, Obinna Nwobodo, Soner Aydogdu, Berkan Emir, Makana Baku, Halil Akbunar and Cherif Ndiaye.

🧠 Prediction

Göztepe and Yeni Malatyaspor should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. Therefore, we predict a tight encounter with a 1-1 score at the end of this game.
