Contrasting Momentum: Fenerbahçe's Consistency vs. Göztepe's Streak

Fenerbahçe, led by José Mourinho, comes into this game following a goalless draw against Olympique Lyon in the Europa League. Domestically, however, they boast a solid unbeaten streak, with four wins and one draw in their last five Süper Lig matches since their loss to Beşiktaş in December. The Istanbul giants currently sit in second place with 45 points from 19 matches, trailing leaders Galatasaray by six points.

Meanwhile, Göztepe is enjoying a stellar run of form, riding a three-match winning streak across all competitions. Their recent 1-0 victory over Antalyaspor has propelled them to fifth place with 34 points, putting them firmly in contention for European qualification.

Head-to-Head: Fenerbahçe's Edge

In their last 17 encounters, Fenerbahçe has come out on top with 8 wins, compared to 3 victories for Göztepe, while 6 matches have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting, in August 2024, ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, highlighting the competitive nature of this matchup.

Key Factors to Watch

Mourinho's side will aim to extend their unbeaten streak and close the gap on their city rivals. Recent signing Diego Carlos could make his debut, adding defensive stability. The attacking trio, spearheaded by Edin Džeko, Arda Güler, and Michy Batshuayi, will play a pivotal role in breaking down Göztepe’s resilient defense.
