Goztepe vs Fenerbahce Prediction (16.08.2025)

Goztepe started quite strongly last season, but suffered a slight decline in the second half. In the end, they finished eighth, which is not bad at all for a newcomer. Stanimir Stoylov and company started the new campaign promisingly after a 3-0 win away to Rizespor last week. Away games were a problem for the team last season. The victory came even in the absence of the top scorer Romulo Cardoso, who is close to a transfer to RB Leipzig.

Fenerbahce lost their first official match of the new season. They were defeated as guests by Feyenoord in the Champions League qualifiers with 1:2. However, on Tuesday they defeated their opponent 5:2 at home and qualified for the upcoming play-off to enter the group stage against Benfica next Wednesday. Surely Mourinho and company will want to take the team where the "Canaries" last played in 2008. Between the two matches with Feyenoord, they did not have a match for the championship and this will now be the first such match of the new season.

The two teams had resultful matches against each other last season, and Goztepe made it difficult for Fenerbahce in both games. Goals in both nets were regularly scored in Fenerbahce's matches, which seems completely possible to happen in the upcoming match, in which Mourinho and company can also think a little about the upcoming much more important clash against Benfica.
