Goztepe hosts Yeni Malatyaspor in round 23 of the Turkish Super League. The match will be played on Thursday, February 4th at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu (Izmir)
Goztepe claims to become a middle peasant of the Super League. The team took 11th place in the previous season, and now it is again at the equator of the standings. However, after a good start, the team drastically slowed down in December. It seemed that it managed to get out of the recession in the middle of last month. After six defeats and a draw, Goztepe gained two victories in a row (over Konyaspor and Genclerbirligi). Those six points still allow the team to keep away from the relegation zone. However, after that, the club lost twice in a row with an identical score of 1-2. The experts did not expect anything else from the meeting with Besiktas in Istanbul, but then Göz Göz lost to Denizlispor, which takes the last line in the standings.

Yeni Malatysaspor made its debut in the Super League only in 2017. And we may recall that they played at the semi-amateur level in the last decade. At the same time, the club took 5th place in 2019, outranking Fenerbahce and reaching the Europa League. And then it fell back to 16th position. Compared to the results of the last draw, now Malatyaspor is doing much better. Under the leadership of Hamza Hamzaoglu (in 2015, having won a "double" with Galatasaray, he was recognized as the best coach of the country), the team rose to the middle of the standings. In mid-January, the Reds managed to beat Rizespor and Hatayspor but lost to Galatasaray at home, conceding the only goal from Ryan Babel in the 88th minute. And last Friday, the match with Fatih Karagyumruk ended in a goalless draw. Because of it, Yeni Malatyaspor dropped to 10th place in the current standings.
In the last six head-to-head matches, the side that played at home did not lose. Two out of three last meetings ended in a 1-1 draw, and Kjartansson, who scored after coming off the substitutes’ bench in the 2nd half, once brought Yeni Malatyaspor a victory. In the last games, neither Goztepe nor Yeni Malatyaspor impressed the fans with their scoring. We recommend betting on Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
