Galatasaray vs Goztepe Prediction and Betting Tips | January 5th 2025

Galatasaray will host Goztepe at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will look to continue their stellar unbeaten league streak against one of the most in-form teams in the league.

Galatasaray battered Kayserispor 5-1 in their last game before the winter break to mark their 14th win in 16 league games this season. The defending champions are on course to pick up back-to-back league titles with a near-perfect first half of the season that has seen them drop points only twice domestically, putting them eight points clear at the top of the league table.

Goztepe have won four and drawn one of their last six league matches, most recently securing a comprehensive 3-0 win over Rizespor. The newly promoted side have been the surprise performers of the season as they sit in fourth place with eight wins and four draws after 16 matches. Their trip to Istanbul this weekend will, however, prove to be the hardest test of their fairytale story so far.

Galatasaray vs Goztepe Prediction

The league leaders are comfortable favorites for Sunday's match due to the gulf in quality between them and the visitors. They will, however, have to avoid any form of complacency if they are to pick up all three points.

Goztepe will be very satisfied with a draw against the league leaders but will have to improve on their poor away record of just one win in eight matches if they are to get any points on their trip to the capital.

Prediction: Galatasaray 3-1 Goztepe
