Yeni Malatyaspor vs Goztepe Prediction & Betting tips
It is not yet clear whether Yeni Malatyaspor’s decline will continue this season. If it goes after Malatya’s most recent performance, that cannot be ruled out. At the start of the season, the yellow-blacks were actually presented and received a 3-0 defeat against promoted Fatih Karagümrük.
On Friday evening, the second game day is now on the agenda. The team around the new head coach Hamza Hamzaoglu welcomes the guests from Izmir to the Yeni Malatya Stadium. As the odds comparison of the betting base shows, Malatyaspor vs. According to odds, Göztepe is not a clear favorite.
Göztepe celebrated an impressive home win over Denizlispor on the first day of the new Süper Lig season. The yellow-reds swept the cocks from Denizli with a 5: 1 from the field. “GözGöz” coach Ilhan Palut thus continued the upward trend from last season. It is quite possible that Göztepe will participate in this year’s race for the international starting positions.
Malatyaspor:
Since the departure of successful coach Erol Bulut, Yeni Malatyaspor has been experiencing a real roller coaster ride. The yellow-blacks actually relegated last season, but were then beneficiaries of the increase in the Süper Lig. If they had not been relegated, the financial meltdown would be inevitable. But as Lothar says so beautifully: “Would, would be – bicycle chain”.
This season Hamza Hamzaoglu takes over the reins of the Anatolian club. The 50-year-old already celebrated a championship in the Süper Lig in his coaching career as coach of Galatasaray. Hamzaoglu was most recently active at Genclerbirligi, but didn’t really convince there. How the engagement at Malatyaspor works is therefore difficult to assess.
At the start of the season, Yeni Malatyaspor lost to newly promoted Fatih Karagümrük. Among other things, the away defeat was due to the miserable exploitation of chances by the yellow-blacks. Because although Malatyaspor had the larger shares of the game and better chances, it remained at 0: 3 in favor of the promoted team.
In the run-up to the 2020/21 season, Yeni Malatyaspor had put out feelers for newcomers and concluded preliminary contracts – at least according to the Turkish media. The big upheaval in the squad now has to be mastered by Hamzaoglu. The 50-year-old had already integrated numerous newcomers into the starting line-up.
How Hamzaoglu will approach the home game against Göztepe is still unclear. Changes in the starting XI should not be ruled out after the latest appearance. With the squad width of Malatyaspor there are numerous options.
Goztepe:
Ilhan Palut continues his adventure near Göztepe. In the meantime, rumors of an exit were denied in the summer. As the yellow-red season opener shows, a very understandable decision. Göztepe delivered a strong performance and won the first home game of the new season with a 5-1 against Denizlispor.
The offensive engine of the yellow-red has warmed up with it. Ilhan Palut and his team want to build on the strong performance against Denizlispor in Malatya and overcome the weakness away from home. In a foreign country, Goztepe lost five away games in a row last season. Thus, the Izmir club has been without an away point since mid-February 2020.
Those away statistics will not be very meaningful in this season, where there is no spectator. It would therefore by no means be absurd if Göztepe defied the 2019/20 away record and booked the next victory. With the previous goal difference, “GözGöz” would probably defend the top of the table.
There are currently no serious failures in the yellow-red squad. With Napoleoni, only one potential player from the regular team is missing. The 34-year-old Italian is recovering from a hip injury and is also expected to miss the away game in Malatya. Compared to the starting eleven from last week, no changes are to be expected anyway.
If the yellow-reds tie in with the performance against Denizlispor, Yeni Malatyaspor vs. Göztepe a prognosis for the Palut team is by no means absurd.
