Göztepe and Başakşehir separated by one point as form builds

One point between them

Only one point separates Göztepe and Başakşehir in the Süper Lig table: Göztepe sit ninth on 15 points, one place above Başakşehir, who have 14 in 10 matches. The narrow gap gives this meeting a direct stake in the race to move up the standings, with both sides coming off league victories.

Göztepe have four wins, three draws and three defeats overall, with a goal difference of +4. Başakşehir have four wins, two draws and four defeats, and a +1 goal difference. Their records are close; their recent trajectories, and especially their away and home performances, offer a sharper contrast.

Göztepe’s winning streak meets an away test

Göztepe have won four league games in a row and are unbeaten in six. Their last five brought four wins and a draw, with 12 goals scored and four conceded. They have also won their most recent league match.

The home side’s challenge is to carry that momentum into a venue where results have been less convincing: one win, one draw and two defeats in four league matches at home. They have scored six and conceded seven in those games.

Başakşehir also come in after a league win. Across their last five, they have three wins, a draw and a defeat, scoring 11 and conceding five. But their away record is a concern: a draw and three defeats in four matches on the road, with only one goal scored and nine conceded.

Recent meetings are evenly split

The last five meetings listed are balanced, with two wins for each side and one draw. The most recent was a 2-1 Başakşehir victory in March 2026, while Göztepe won the previous two Süper Lig encounters at home, 1-0 and 4-1.

Players to watch

Göztepe’s recent scoring record stands out: they have netted 12 times in their last five league matches. That attacking output, paired with only four goals conceded in the same run, has underpinned their rise to four consecutive wins.

Başakşehir have scored 11 in their last five, so they bring a productive attack of their own. The question is whether they can translate it to the road, where they have managed just one goal across four league away matches.

Our prediction

Göztepe’s four-match winning streak and Başakşehir’s struggles away from home tilt the contest toward the hosts, even though the visitors arrive with a recent win and a strong scoring return. The close table positions suggest a competitive match, but Göztepe’s current momentum gives them the edge.
