Our Prediction for Kasımpaşa vs Göztepe
Kasımpaşa remains in the shadow of Istanbul's bigger clubs but managed an impressive fifth-place finish last season, edging out Beşiktaş on goal difference (both with 56 points). Göztepe, on the other hand, spent the past two years in the First League but secured promotion as runners-up last spring.
Stanimir Stoilov’s team has surprised many in the Süper Lig this season, consistently battling for European spots. However, recent performances have dipped, including a disappointing 0-1 home loss to Kayserispor. Kasımpaşa remains mid-table, but their form has slightly improved in recent weeks, though they lost to Antalyaspor in their last match.
Burak Yılmaz’s men progressed past Gençlerbirliği in December's qualifiers but then failed to impress in the group stage, suffering defeats to both Fenerbahçe (0-3) and Istanbulspor (0-2).
