Galatasaray host Goztepe in the Super Lig at the Turk Telekom Arena. The home side are placed eleventh in the league with eight points from six matches while the visitors see themselves at fifteenth in the league with just five points from six games. Galatasaray have had a decent run of form in the initial part of the season but have lost their way in the run-up to the Goztepe game. They come into the game with two consecutive defeats to Alanyaspor and Kayserispor with 1-0 and 3-0 scorelines respectively. Galatasaray have struggled on the defensive front, failing to keep a single clean sheet in their last five Super Lig matches. Fatih Terim’s men have had over 2.5 goals in each of their last four matches and are expected to play yet another high scoring fixture with Goztepe.
Goztepe had to wait for four matches in the Super Lig to get their first win of the season against Basaksehir with a 2-1 scoreline. However, things did not change even after their only win of the season so far as the visitors come into the Galatasaray game with two straight losses to Altay and Hatayspor with 2-1 and 2-0 score lines respectively. Just like Galatasaray, Geztope also have struggled defensively. They have conceded goals in every single game so far in the Super Lig and have had over 2.5 goals in each of their last four matches.
Both the teams have performed under par when it comes to defending. They have been conceding a lot of goals in the new season and are far from being defensively resolute sides. We are going for over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
