Goztepe vs Fenerbahce Prediction and Betting Tips

Goztepe will host Fenerbahce at the Gursel Aksel Stadium on Saturday in the second round of the 2025-26 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be hoping to get an unlikely result against one of the league's best sides and build momentum early in the new season.

Goztepe had an impressive preseason campaign and continued in the same vein by picking up a solid 3-0 win over Rizespor thanks to a number of clinical finishes. Göz Göz struggled to pick up consistent victories throughout the course of last season and only narrowly missed out on European qualification but will be looking to make improvements this season in hopes of finishing in the top five.

Fenerbahce were unable to kick off the new league season last weekend as their match against Alanyaspor was postponed due to their Champions League playoff fixture against Feyenoord during the week. Jose Mourinho’s side have been strengthened through solid signings in different positions over the summer and will go into the domestic league season hoping to end their 11-year league title drought.

Goztepe vs Fenerbahce Prediction

Goztepe are underdogs going into the weekend and will need something really special to avoid defeat against a much stronger side. They lost just twice on home turf last season and will be hopeful of a positive result this weekend.

Sarı Kanaryalar will be confident of coming away with the win in their season opener but will need to avoid complacency to avoid dropping points to the hosts.
