Goztepe vs Fenerbahce predictions: A high-scoring affair
Key stats
- Over three goals were scored on average in Fenerbahce's last five trips to this stadium.
- Four of Goztepe’s last five matches, and five of Fenerbahce's last seven games went above the 2.5-goal margin.
- Five of both teams’ last six respective matches featured goals at both ends.
- Fenerbahce lost just one of their last seven encounters with Goztepe (W4, D2).
Correct score prediction: Goztepe 1-3 Fenerbahce
With their victory over Adana Demirspor last weekend, Fenerbahce extended their unbeaten run in the Super Lig to 28 matches (W22, D6). Although a newly promoted Goztepe will likely give everything they have to win this match, they should not be too difficult for Jose Mourinho’s troops to handle.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Fenerbahce are overwhelming favourites
- HOME:13/2 (7.50) – 13.3%
- DRAW:7/2 (4.50) – 22.2%
- AWAY:1/3 (1.33) – 75%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League in midweek by LOSC Lille must have been tough for Jose Mourinho and his team. However, a win away from home this weekend would be good for their domestic aspirations.
Having said that, Fenerbahce are the expected winners at 1/3 (1.33). Teams with these odds generally have a 75% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Edin Dzeko
Edin Dzeko's goal was enough for Fenerbahce to claim all three points in their season opener last weekend. However, he failed to score in the team's midweek fixture, as they were knocked out of the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Champions League.
The Bosnian forward has put up some solid performances recently, scoring eight times in his last seven appearances for Fenerbahce. He will fancy his chances against Goztepe's defence.
