A run meets a home fortress

Göztepe have won three consecutive Süper Lig matches, but their next challenge is a Fenerbahçe side that has scored 16 goals in four home league games this season. The visitors’ streak has lifted them to 10th on 12 points after nine rounds; Fenerbahçe sit fifth with 16.

There is more than momentum at stake in Istanbul. Göztepe can extend a run that has transformed their recent form, while Fenerbahçe have the chance to protect their place in the top five and make home advantage count.

Göztepe’s surge, Fenerbahçe’s firepower

Göztepe’s league form reads three wins followed by two draws, and they have gone five matches without defeat. They have scored 12 goals across their last five, including 13 in five away league fixtures this season. Their overall league record, however, remains balanced at three wins, three draws and three losses.

Fenerbahçe have been especially potent lately: 15 goals in their last five matches, with only two conceded. They have won three of four league games at home, scoring four goals per game there. Their broader form is less consistent, but that attacking output makes them a formidable obstacle to Göztepe’s run.

Recent meetings have been tight

The last two league meetings ended in draws: 1-1 at Fenerbahçe in January and 0-0 in Göztepe in August 2025. Fenerbahçe won the other meeting in this five-game sequence, 3-2 in January 2025, while two more ended level. The recent record points to a competitive contest rather than an easy repeat of either side’s form.

Absences on both sides

Fenerbahçe are without N. Ake and M. Asensio through injury, while A. Brown is suspended. J. Oosterwolde is also missing with an Achilles tendon injury.

Göztepe list Allan Godoi and I. Sabra as injured, with F. Bayir and O. Bayrak inactive. L. Gugeshashvili is questionable.

Attackers in the spotlight

Fenerbahçe’s 15 goals in their last five make their attack the obvious threat, particularly at home, where they have averaged four goals per league game. Göztepe have also been productive on the road, scoring 13 times in five away league fixtures. Their ability to keep that output going will be central to the visitors’ hopes of extending their winning run.

Our prediction

Göztepe’s three straight wins and five-game unbeaten run give them genuine momentum, but Fenerbahçe’s home scoring and stronger defensive record make the hosts favourites. PreviaXI’s model also leans towards a home victory, while Göztepe’s recent attacking form suggests they can still find a goal.
