Match prediction for Göztepe vs Rize

The teams Göztepe and Rize will meet at Göztepe Gürsel Aksel Stadium (İzmir), in a match for the 18th round of the Turkish Super League. In the last encounter between these teams in the competition, on August 10, 2025, Göztepe won away (0-3). The recent head-to-head record favors the home team, having won 3, drawn 1, and lost 2 of the last 6 matches.

Analysis of Göztepe

After 9 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, the home team stands in 4th place with 32 points. In their last match, they defeated Samsunspor at home (2-0), following a prior win against Gaziantep F.K. (0-1) away. The team comes into this match after a home victory against CSKA 1948 Sofia (2-1). In the league, Göztepe has won 15 out of a possible 24 points, with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last 8 home games. There are several common halftime scores at home: 1-0 (3 in 8 games) and 0-0 (4 in 8 games). Their attack has scored consistently, netting goals in 8 of their last 10 matches in the competition. Home games tend to yield few goals; 4 of the last 8 ended with fewer than 1.5 goals. In 17 matches in the competition, they conceded the first goal 4 times and managed only 1 comeback.

Göztepe has put up a strong campaign, having secured another victory in the most recent match at home against Samsunspor by 2-0, with both goals scored by Arda Okan Kurtulan. The team has been organizing itself in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which centralizes Juan as the main offensive reference and leading goal-scorer. Behind him, Efkan Bekiroğlu, Amin Cherni, and Arda Okan Kurtulan form the core responsible for providing intelligence to the attack, alternating roles, controlling the pace of possession, and taking the lead in both construction and entry into the area, which enhances offensive output and distributes responsibilities better during crucial actions. Forward Junior Olaitan remains unavailable after returning from the CAN with his national team.

Analysis of Rize

After 4 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, the visiting team is in 12th position with 18 points. In their last match, they lost to Beşiktaş away (1-0), following a home win against Eyüpspor (3-0). In the last game they played for the Fortis Türkiye Kupası, they lost to BB Erzurumspor away (2-0). Over the last 8 away matches in the league, Rize has recorded 1 win, 5 draws, and 2 losses, earning 8 points out of a possible 24.

In this competition, they have not won any of their last 4 away games. Common results in their away matches include 1-1 halftime (3 in 9 games) and 1-1 at full-time (3 in 9 games). Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, but their attack has been scoring regularly, netting goals in 7 of their last 10 competition matches. In 17 games in this competition, they conceded the first goal 8 times and have never managed a comeback.

Rizespor is experiencing a dip in performance, having lost mid-week to Erzurumspor in the Turkish Cup by 2-0. In the Super League, they also lost their last match against Besiktas away by 1-0. The team typically adopts a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Ali Sowe stationed at the front line as the main reference for finishing. Just behind him, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Ibrahim Olawoyin, and Emrecan Bulut provide dynamics to the offensive play with constant positional exchanges, short build-ups, and coordinated attacks into the wide spaces, creating superiority between lines, accelerating progression with ball control, and keeping the team well-placed in the opponent’s field throughout attacking actions. It appears that the full squad will be available for the next match.
