Kasimpasa vs Goztepe Prediction & Betting tips
On the eighth matchday of the Turkish Süperlig there is a duel between the teams Kasimpasa Istanbul and Göztepe Izmir. Both teams are currently neighbors, Göztepe is seventh, Kasimpasa sixth. Nevertheless, there is equality between the two and even the goal difference differs only by a single goal in the difference. With a victory, both teams have the opportunity to join the top of the table and the associated qualification opportunities for Europe or even Champions League. With only one point distance lurking but the pursuers and so could threaten a fall in the event of a defeat in the direction of tenth place. Göztepe, who finished last season as a starter with a good sixth place, is thus high in the expectations, but should be interested in a long-term consolidation in the Süperlig after his laborious re-emergence in the first division. Kasimpasa, however, finished the pre-season in eighth place, but should have after stable current account in the Süperlig ambitions on the upper table quarter. Between Kasimpasa and Göztepe the betting odds are relatively balanced, but a tip on the away win brings somewhat higher odds.
Kasimpasa:
After a brilliant start to the new season Kasimpasa managed a series of four consecutive wins and thus the championship lead for the fourth matchday. Especially the 2-1 victory against Basaksehir Istanbul in front of home crowd inspired the team under coach Mustafa Denizli. In the derby Galatasaray stopped Istanbul but with a bitter 4: 1 defeat the sudden soaring of Kasimpasa and as a result, the last two league games were lost. Particularly heavy here weighed the narrow 1: 2 home defeat against Alanyaspor. On a positive note, however, Kasimpasa has scored in each match so far, scoring a total of fourteen goals in seven games, an average of two hits per game. Especially center-forward Mbaye Diage, who scored eight times in seven games, is thanks to this success.
He is assisted by the most expensive man in the team, Egyptian international Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet”, who has returned from RSC Anderlecht. The storm trio complete with Samuel Eduok, who met Trezeguet twice as well. Together, the storm trio scored twelve of the fourteen goals in the team. Except for the still injured Abdul Khaili the squad of Kasimpasa is so fit and ready for action. Only the defensive work leaves much to be desired, which also prove the fourteen goals Kasimpasa. Only against Sivasspor succeeded to prevent goals. The performance of the Istanbulers is therefore to be judged as a whole. Nevertheless, the bookmakers Kasimpasa against Göztepe the betting odds for betting on the win slightly in the advantage.
Göztepe:
Last season, Göztepe Izmir also gave a mixed impression. Thirteen victories faced eleven defeats. 49 goals were scored compared to 50 goals conceded. As a result, the squad was completely reorganized for the current season with 24 new players. The difficulties in the team match showed up at the beginning of the season and ended in two defeats. Quickly, however, the team came together and the 1-0 victory against the top team of Fenerbahce Istanbul proved the new strength of the squad. Although it was a close defeat against Alanyaspor, but the following three games were all won, though usually only with one goal difference. Particularly positive here is the name of the German-Turkish Yasin Öztekin, who has joined Galatasaray, who scored four goals and scored two goals. The two decisive goals in the last game against Konyaspor scored Öztekin. The central defense had also not looked outstanding in the last game and some situations could only be defused by fouls. The defense Göztepes is thus not yet the stable backing that they should be. In summary, a slow-growing team, in which the offensive plays better and better, faces a somewhat uncertain defensive.
