Galatasaray Preview – Can Galatasaray end dismal slump?
The Turkish top flight season is drawing to a close and Friday night’s hosts, Galatasaray, will desperately looking to keep their bid for a top four finish alive as they prepare for this important clash against Goztepe at their Türk Telekom Stadyumu, where the hosts will want to put an end to some ordinary results.
Although they still sit on the fringes of the top four in the Super Lig, occupying 5th place on the top flight ladder and four points behind Besiktas, Galatasaray have produced some pretty ordinary performances of late which have resulted in the hosts failing to win any of their last eight matches overall.
For Galatasaray to fail to make the top four seems unthinkable but four defeats from these last eight matches against Rizespor, Trabzonspor, Alanyaspor and most disappointing of all, Ankaragucu, shows that the hosts are no longer the force they used to be in the Turkish domestic top flight and the pressure is now on to pull a result out of the hat.
Goztepe Preview – Can Goztepe take advantage?
Although Goztepe sit in a mid-table position in the Super Lig and have failed to win any of their last six matches overall in the Turkish top flight, the visitors may well fancy their chances of catching Galatasaray cold here as they seek to extend their hosts’ recent woes.
Four defeats from these last six matches overall show that Goztepe are far from guaranteed of picking up anything in this clash, particularly when you consider that Goztepe have also lost their last four away matches on the trot, but the bigger picture shows that the visitors have lost by 2 goals or more in just three of their 16 away matches to date.
An away record of 5-3-8 17/20 admittedly isn’t great but Goztepe have at least been competitive in the majority of their matches on the road, and they’ve also lost by 2 goals or more in just two of their last eight meetings against Galatasaray, and even beat them in their last encounter 2-1.
