Besiktas vs Goztepe Prediction & Betting tips
In the mixed summer preparation, there were already the first signs of a weak start to the season of the “black eagle”. The defeat at Sivasspor was in the height but hardly expected. With 3: 0 the Anatolian club made off the traditional club from Istanbul and missed a pamphlet for Abdullah Avci. Now follows the first home game in Vodafone Park, where Besiktas will be challenged against Göztepe.
The new Besiktas coach Avci is already struggling with a lot of criticism. The “black eagles” from Istanbul have not been able to draw on the full yet. The big hospital had recently shrunk. Nevertheless, Abdullah Avci still has to do without numerous top performers. So it remains to be seen if Besiktas will prove against Göztepe a prognosis on the Avci-Elf.
Tamer Tuna, current coach of Göztepe, will meet his former team. The instructor of the Izmir club had experienced as a coach assistant two championships at Besiktas and was due to the long cooperation with Senol Günes a contender for the vacant coaching post at the “black Eagles”.
Although Tuna spent a long time coaching besiktas, the traditional club from Istanbul preferred Abdullah Avci, the guarantor of success for Basaksehir. After the weak preparation Besiktas has not convinced at the season opener and therefore went under at the Anatolian club. Under the current circumstances, a Besiktas against Göztepe Tipp on the home side brings a lot of risk.
Besiktas:
For years Besiktas remained in the shadow of Istanbul archrival Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. The “black eagle” had to watch how the two most successful Turkish teams – compared to the national titles – year after year to provide a fight for the championship. Only with the arrival of Senol Günes Besiktas has found the old strength and returned with two championship titles in a row.
The transfer windows in the winter and summer break were barely located for the “black eagles”. Again and again Besiktas had to cope with serious departures of high performers, which is why in the most recent season hardly a stable team structure could be the speech. Senol Günes was aware of the current situation and already flirted with a commitment to the national team.
During the last season Günes was introduced as the new national coach of Turkey. The rumor mill was already seething with new potential names, but in the end it was then Abdullah Avci. The former Basaksehir coach should give the team a new game system and guarantee long-term success. Besiktas did not know how to convince, either in the previous preparation or in the first competitive game of the new season.
Already in the run-up Avci was criticized by numerous experts and not regarded as a “worthy” successor to Günes. That the handwriting of the coach so far can not be read, should not be surprising in the current hospital on the side of the “black eagle”. Many high performers are missing because of injuries or have recently returned to training, so they can not be used for more than 90 minutes.
In front of home crowd Besiktas dominated in recent seasons at will. Throughout, the “black eagle” counted among the league’s strongest teams. With the twelfth man in the back, there was often nothing for the opposing team to fetch in Vodafone Park. Last season there was a home record of 12-3-2. It would not be surprising if the traditional club continues in the new season.
Göztepe:
Tamer Tuna has signed a new contract with Göztepe at the beginning of the year. The Izmir club completed after the promotion to the Süper Lig 2017 a strong season under Tamer Tuna. Then, however, parted ways. After the failed adventure at Sivasspor Tuna is back at the old place of activity.
The current three-year contract with Göztepe can be unilaterally resolved by Tuna at any time, if Besiktas should make an offer. With this option in mind, Tamer Tuna faces his old love on Matchday 2. After the season opener against Antalyaspor was surprisingly lost 1-0, points from Istanbul would be even more important for the Tuna team.
On the one hand Tuna would speed up the process of a change of coach, on the other hand, the coach can thus prove against his old love. Tuna prefers like Senol Günes Besiktas times a fairly offensive game system. It is always the team’s own performance in the foreground – no matter how the result ends up. This philosophy cost Tuna dearly for his involvement with Sivasspor.
During the summer break there were some changes in the squad of the Izmir club. Göztepe has separated from nine players, with four players, the contract was unilaterally dissolved. Great reinforcement was largely absent. Only players like Schwechlen, Sanneh and Derdiyok can be described as well-known additions.
Last season Göztepe made it to the league only on the last match day. With a strong season final spurt, the team of Tuna could conceivably save just. The main goal this season is undoubtedly the league. Accordingly, every point win counts for the team.
After Tamer Tuna missed the season opener due to a suspension, the Göztepe coach is back on Friday evening on the sidelines. Even the minimum point yield from the Vodafone Park is rewarded with lucrative quotas at Besiktas against Göztepe.
