Fenerbahçe and Göztepe meet often enough that they should know each other's game well, and most of their last six meetings ended without either side winning clearly, with both draws and one-goal margins. This time the two come in with their form clearly moving in opposite directions. Fenerbahçe just lost 1-2 at home in the league, and the match before that they were thrashed in a European cup, but against league opposition they managed 3-0 wins in two matches. Their attack still scores regularly but the defence switches off in spells. Göztepe, meanwhile, are playing smoothly, on a winning run and unbeaten in their last five. Their defence has clearly tightened up after conceding 16 goals in nine league games. This game should play out with Fenerbahçe dominating the ball and pushing high as usual, but Göztepe do not just sit back; they have counter-attacking moments that keep the hosts on alert throughout. If the hosts score early the game could open up, but if Göztepe's defence holds up as it has recently, the match will be tight and decided by small details.
