Galatasaray - Göztepe predictions

Galatasaray should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Sunday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.44.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Göztepe stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 7.29, marking an insurmountable difference.

The previous 1:2 victory we saw from Galatasaray may not have been as decisive as was expected, but it netted them 3 points either way. An early advantage against İstanbul Başakşehir led them straight into an away win.

In the previous round of the Super Lig, Göztepe played another away game against Alanyaspor. The bookies priced their victory at around 2.84, so the matchup was definitely not an easy one. The first half ended inconclusively, but a late-game decider by the home team ended the match 1:0.

Galatasaray have seen a lot of success in the past few rounds. They are on a roll of 4 away wins and will head into the next Super Lig match with their heads held high.

A lot of games Göztepe play end with either 1 or no goals at all. This is most notably true for the previous two rounds of the league.

Galatasaray’s position at the top of the pack seems fairly secure at the moment, though it’s too early in the season to make any strong claims.

Göztepe ended up at number 5th on the Super Lig table after the first 10 rounds of the season. They’ll need at another 3 points to catch up to a Europa League qualifying spot. There’s plenty of time left to do so, but this match represents a major obstacle.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when Galatasaray walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.
