Galatasaray vs Goztepe Prediction & Betting tips
The last game day could not have gone worse for the Turkish record champions. After all, in a week when the two table neighbors also suffered a defeat, an away bankruptcy. The Lions from Istanbul missed the big chance to draw level with the leaders from Alanya on points.
During the week, the lions from Istanbul continue with the English week in the Süper Lig. The home game against Göztepe, the bottom of the table of the Süper Lig, is on Tuesday evening. As the odds comparison of the betting base shows, Galatasaray is favored against Göztepe according to odds. However, a prognosis will be risky.
The guests from Izmir recently suffered two defeats in a row, but should not be underestimated. After all, “GözGöz” got off to a promising start to the season with 18 points in 13 games. Among other things, the leaders of the Süper Lig were defeated. A point gain with the battered lions should therefore not be ruled out.
Galatasaray :
After a weak start to the 2020/21 season, the form curve showed the Turkish record champions from Istanbul upwards. For weeks Galatasaray worked his way up the table of the Süper Lig and even overtook arch rivals from Istanbul. In the last week there was even a chance to lead the table.
Ironically, with the newcomer Fatih Karagümrük, Galatasaray let feathers again for the first time after a series of seven competitive games without defeat. For long stretches in the away game against the city rivals, the lions tried hard, but remained harmless against the strong defensive of the promoted team. Except for the penalty hit, not a single shot went to Karagümrük’s goal.
Hot head Fatih Terim was thrown off the pitch at the disappointing performance of his team, as was central defender Marcao, who received the red card in the 13th minute of stoppage time. Neither Terim nor Marcao will be in the squad on Tuesday evening.
At home, the lions want to find their way back on the road to success. The Turkish record champions currently have a home record of 3-2-1 in this Süper Lig season. Only the home game against Alanyaspor was lost. Most recently, the second in the table of the Süper Lig remained unbeaten at home three times in a row, including the home win over Hatayspor (3-0).
While there is still a lack of penetrative power on the offensive, the Lions’ defense was quite solid compared to last season. With only nine goals conceded, Galatasaray is currently the second best back team in the Turkish House of Lords.
On Tuesday evening, there will be seven failures in the roster of the table runner-up. In addition to the two goalkeepers Muslera and Öztürk, Marcao, Tasdemir, Babel, Aktürkoglu and Falcao will miss the upcoming home game.
Göztepe :
Göztepe is currently fighting a small mini-crisis. After a strong start to the season, the yellow-reds from Izmir not only failed to win three competitions in a row, but also suffered two Süper Lig defeats in a row for the first time since July. Neither the away game in Rize nor the most recent home game against Hatayspor took any points.
The home bankruptcy against Hatay was particularly surprising. After all, Göztepe prevailed in the home game against Alanyaspor, the leaders of the Süper Lig. This also impressively demonstrated how much potential there is in the team of head coach Ilhan Palut.
Compared to the weakened lions from Istanbul, “GözGöz” will mostly have the best cast on Tuesday evening. It is quite possible that Palut dares to make some changes in the starting XI after his team’s recent performance.
Abroad, Göztepe currently has an away record of 1-4-1, with only the away game against Caykur Rizespor being lost. Among other things, Göztepe was able to take away points with teams like Sivasspor (1-0), Kasimpasa (0-0) and Basaksehir (0-0), who are definitely among the strongest teams in the Süper Lig.
As with Tuesday’s opponent from Istanbul, the defense made a good impression. After all, the clean slate was kept against last year’s champion Basaksehir. If “GözGöz” shows a defiant reaction against the Turkish record champions after the mini-crisis, Galatasaray vs. Göztepe attractive betting odds can be tapped for a forecast on the guests.
