In matchweek six of the Super Lig at Bornova Doğanlar Stadı, hosts Göztepe are looking for their first win of the season to move away from the danger zone, while Rizespor travel with confidence after collecting 9 points and firmly holding a spot in the upper half of the table. The home side's situation remains concerning with a 5-match winless run and clear defensive issues having already conceded 13 goals in the league. They are likely to deploy a 3-4-1-2 system with Arda Kurtulan and Alexis Antunes controlling the midfield, while the visitors line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation with Ali Sowe leading the line. They are finding their stride after a 2-0 win last time out and boast an average of 53.6% possession over their last 10 matches. When comparing defensive stability, Göztepe concede too easily to secure victories, whereas Rizespor are significantly more disciplined defensively and ready to punish any mistakes by the hosts.
