Kasimpasa vs Goztepe Prediction & Betting tips
Göztepe suffered the first defeat of the current season in the Süper Lig last week. But the defeat at home against the title contender from Istanbul will be manageable. After all, the yellow-reds from Izmir did not give up without a fight, but stood up to Fenerbahce for long stretches. The away trip to Istanbul is now on the sixth matchday.
There the team around head coach Ilhan Palut meets Kasimpasa. In contrast to the guests from Izmir, Kasimpasa has already suffered two defeats this season. In addition, the blue-whites only played a draw last week against newly promoted Fatih Karagümrük despite the majority and thus left important points behind.
In the upcoming Friday match, the best bookmakers see Kasimpasa against Göztepe as favorites according to odds. A prognosis for the home club is daring, however, as the guests are in good shape. If you consider how close Göztepe lost the home game against Fenerbahce, a defiant reaction against Kasimpasa cannot be ruled out.

Kasimpasa:
Surprising start to the season at the Erdogan Club! The otherwise weak defense of the blue and white conceded only three goals in the first five match days. Compared to the last few years, when Kasimpasa repeatedly provided one of the worst defensive chains in the Süper Lig, the statistics so far are definitely commendable.
Mehmet Altiparmak, Kasimpasa’s new coach this season, has done a good job so far and has been able to establish a new game system at Kasimpasa that is not only focused on the offensive. Seven points from the first five games are a good intermediate result, especially since three points were recorded in the home game against the Turkish record champions Galatasaray.
This season the primary goal of the blue-whites is to stay up. As in the last season, Kasimpasa wants to stay away from the red zone of the Süper Lig. Last week there was an unfortunate draw for Altiparmak’s team against newly promoted Fatih Karagümrük – even though the eleven were able to deny the final quarter of an hour in excess.
Home should now be scored three times again. Across the seasons, Kasimpasa has not lost a single defeat in the last nine home games. Eight of the last nine home games have been won. This season the blue-whites have already won home wins over Galatasaray (1-0) and Rizespor (2-0) – both to zero!
On Friday evening, Mehmet Altiparmak’s defense against the strong offensive opponent from Izmir will be challenged. If Kasimpasa keeps the attack department of Göztepe in check, a point win for the blue-whites is quite obvious.
Altiparmak has no losses to complain about at home against their table neighbors. Big changes are not expected in the starting XI.
Goztepe:
Göztepe wants to get back on the road to success. Last week the yellow-reds suffered their first defeat of the season. As in the away game at Basaksehir, where Göztepe scored a point after a strong defensive performance, Ilhan Palut’s team with Fenerbahce was able to stand up to another title contender in the Süper Lig.
How much the attacking department of the yellow-reds has to offer was impressively demonstrated in the home game against Fenerbahce. With ten goals in the first five match days, Göztepe is currently the second strongest offensive in the Turkish House of Lords. However, nine out of ten goals were scored at the local Gürsel Aksel Stadium.
In a foreign country, Ilhan Palut has so far been on the defensive and waited for counter-chances. A similar course of play is expected in the upcoming Friday game at Kasimpasa. Across the seasons, Göztepe has not had a win in seven away games. If that away series continues, an away win in Istanbul will be difficult to achieve.
This season Göztepe added promising newcomers to the squad. Among others came the Brazilian Guilherme, who was previously active in Süper Lig teams such as Malatyaspor and Trabzonspor. Last weekend, Guilherme demonstrated his individual quality and scored two goals against Fenerbahce.
It is quite possible that the Brazilian will be the linchpin of the Goztepe offensive this season. Coach Ilhan Palut is expected to make few or no changes in his starting XI on Friday evening. Despite the home bankruptcy, the performance of his team was very promising. Öztürk, Kirdaroglu and Napoleoni are still injured.
