Our Prediction for Trabzonspor vs Goztepe
The club from Trabzon confirmed its high level last season. They could not become champions again as they did in 2022, but finished only behind a duo of Istanbul leaders—Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. Their current opponent, after a couple of years in the First League, returned to the top division in 2024, albeit only from second place.
The newcomer started well and stayed among the contenders for European competitions for a long time. However, since the end of January, they stopped winning in the Super Lig and slipped to the middle of the table. For example, they drew 1-1 with Besiktas. The Black Sea coast team has been inconsistent all season. They quickly exited European competition qualification and, while changing head coaches (local idol Senol Gunes even came and left during the campaign), showed little in the league, staying among the mid-table teams. However, the 1-0 win over Adana Demirspor became their third victory in the last four matches.
In the cup, though, Banza and company managed to earn seven points in the group stage—beating Alanyaspor and Rizespor and drawing with Erzine Belediye. In the quarter-finals, in a dramatic match with mutual red cards, they managed to beat Bodrumspor in extra time. The visitors are on a five-game winning streak in the cup. In February, they crushed Kasimpasa 5-0 and, thanks to Romulo's hat-trick, defeated Besiktas 3-1 in Istanbul in the quarter-finals.
