Goztepe vs Galatasaray: Turkish League Prediction (24.05.2025)

On May 24, 2025, at 23:00 WIB, the Turkish League match between Goztepe and Galatasaray will take place. Bookmakers consider the visitors the favorites. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and give our prediction for the game.

Goztepe

Goztepe is a solid mid-table team in the Turkish league. Their biggest achievement this season was reaching the semifinals of the Turkish Cup, where they lost to Trabzonspor (0–2). In the Super Lig, the team sits in eighth place in the standings and is part of a tightly packed group. For example, Rizespor, currently in 14th place, is only four points behind. Goztepe has shown an interesting attacking style and ranks fifth in the league in terms of scoring. However, their defense often lets them down. The team clearly lacks consistency, as indicated by their goal difference – 57:47. They have consistently scored in each of their last five matches but have also conceded in every game. In their most recent match, Goztepe lost to Rizespor by a score of 3–6.

Galatasaray

The “Lions” have already clinched the championship title early. With two matches remaining, they lead Fenerbahce by eight points. Therefore, from a standings perspective, Galatasaray players have no remaining motivation. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that Galatasaray boasts the league’s strongest attack and most reliable defense, with a goal tally of 87:31. They are also highly consistent on the road. Out of 17 away games, Galatasaray has lost only once, drawn twice, and scored a total of 43 goals while conceding 16. This is not surprising given that they have the league’s top scorer – Osimhen – who has registered 25 goals and 5 assists.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

The head-to-head record overwhelmingly favors Galatasaray. The “Lions” have won all of the last six encounters. However, Goztepe has managed to score in every one of those matches.

Prediction

For the match between Goztepe and Galatasaray, our prediction favors the visitors. Galatasaray’s advantage is supported by their head-to-head record. However, it’s also important to note that both teams have been prolific this season. Therefore, a combined bet on Galatasaray to win and the total to be over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.20 looks appealing.
