- The home edge and momentum make Goztepe the best option on the match outcome market, but Genclerbirligi's counter attacking power should keep the game close enough for the draw to have a chance.
Prediction
- Goztepe are clearly a superior side at the moment, so a Genclerbirligi victory would represent an upset.
- This matchup should see Goztepe dictate terms and control territory against a Genclerbirligi side that has failed to beat them in the last 2 meetings.
- Goztepe's wing-back system, ball control and pressing from the front have made them a disciplined 3-4-1-2 unit in recent matches and Metin Diyadin's Genclerbirligi, a more pragmatic 4-2-3-1 team, built around a compact defense and double pivot, will have to manage that wing-back overload if they want to control territory.
