DomainJava.com – Goztepe vs Kasimpasa prediction in the Turkey Super Lig match, After seeing their three-match unbeaten streak halted by a narrow 2-1 defeat to Galatasaray, Goztepe SK will try to bounce back when they host Kasimpasa at the Gursel Aksel Stadium on Sunday.
The hosts, one of the best teams this season in the Turkish Super League, are almost unbeatable at home, while Kasimpasa showed toughness on the road, setting the stage for an exciting showdown in Izmir.
Despite losing 2-1 to Galatasaray, Goztepe showed their mettle by limiting the league leaders’ chances and putting up stiff resistance.
Stanimir Stoilov’s men quickly regained momentum with a 1-0 Turkish Cup win over Erzurumspor, a result they will be looking to repeat in the league as they bid for a top-four finish.
Currently in fifth place in the Super Lig standings with 28 points, Goztepe is just two points behind fourth-placed Eyupspor, who have played one more game, making the newly promoted side a dark horse in European football competition, and the match Sunday provides a golden opportunity to strengthen their position.
Only Galatasaray (26) has earned more points at home than Goztepe (22) this season, with the Izmir side averaging 2.75 points per game at the Gursel Aksel Stadium, which is the most in the league.
Unbeaten at home in the league, Goztepe have collected seven wins and one draw, a record that gives them plenty of reason to be confident heading into this match – however, caution is warranted, as Kasimpasa beat them 3-2 last time out the two teams met at this place.
For Kasimpasa, this match is a chance to end their recent slump, with the Apaches winless in their last three games, starting 2025 just as they ended 2024, recording 2-2 draws against Istanbul Basaksehir and Gaziantep before suffering 3-0 defeat to Fenerbahce in the Turkish Cup last Thursday.
While they currently sit ninth in the standings with 21 points, just five points separate them from the relegation zone, and another poor run of results could drag Hakan Keles’ side into a survival battle.
One area of optimism for the visitors is their excellent away form, Kasimpasa have avoided defeat in their last 10 competitive away games, recording four wins and six draws in a run that stretches back to last season.
Interestingly, the visitors are currently on a five-match unbeaten run in the Super Lig, but that is a disappointing run, considering they have only won one of those matches.
Goztepe’s Isaac Solet has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a ligament injury.
Other absentees include David Datro Fofana, Kuryu Matsuki, Dogan Erdogan and Kubilay Kanatsizkus, although none is expected to have a significant impact on Stoilov’s starting XI.
For Kasimpasa, Kenneth Omeruo is still a doubt as he is still recovering from a ligament injury.
Nuno da Costa, who has scored eight league goals in 15 appearances, will be the main attacking threat for the visitors as they look to secure a vital result on Sunday.
