In this week 15 match, on Mon Dec 6th, Göztepe hosts Gazişehir Gaziantep at Bornova Doğanlar Stadı in a Super Lig match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Göztepe recorded a 1-1 draw against Fenerbahçe. Adis Jahović scored the first goal for Göztepe in the 40th minute, then Serdar Dursun got the equalizer for Fenerbahçe in the 48th minute on a feed from İrfan Can Kahveci earning Fenerbahçe a comeback draw. Göztepe looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while 12th placed Gazişehir Gaziantep is fresh off their 3-2 win against Konyaspor. Guilherme Haubert Sityá scored the first goal for Konyaspor in the 7th minute on a penalty kick, then in the 18th minute, Alexandru Maxim sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Steven Caulker But luckily in the 86th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Joao Figueiredo. Gazişehir Gaziantep is looking for direction having 4 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Gazişehir Gaziantep won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Both Joao Figueiredo and Steven Caulker have been the hottest scorers for Gazişehir Gaziantep in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals. Lourency and David Tijanic are the top scorers for Göztepe in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Nestor El Maestro’s squad will be without Kahraman Demirtaş, Marko Mihojević and Balázs Megyeri, while Alexander Merkel, Kenan Özer, Yasin Pehlivan and Jefferson are unavailable to play for Gazişehir Gaziantep.
