Yes, the defeats in the two previous matches cannot be called a good result, but in the national championship after 17 rounds played with 28 points scored, the team is in fifth place in the standings, only two points behind the fourth, European Cup place.

The main striking force is the Brazilian Romulo, who with eight goals scored is the team's top scorer in the Super League.

Goztepe lost their first match this year, but the guests of the upcoming match cannot be blamed, because the defeat was from Galatasaray, and even then with a minimal score of 1:2. The upcoming opponent is of a lower class, and plays in the First League, while Goztepe is storming the Super League. We believe that the victory in this match will go to the guests. It is not right, in the form they are in, to lose to an opponent who is clearly not better in terms of play.
Our prediction is Goztepe's victory with odds of 2.19

Moreover, in four of their last six head-to-head meetings this bet was a success.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.59
Bet on corners
Goztepe demonstrates an attacking style of play, and it can be assumed that they will spend most of the time in attack. Erzurumspor will also strive for active actions on their home field. Based on this, we will bet on the fact that there will be many corner flag passes in the match.
Betting Tip - total corners over 9.5 with odds of 1.85
