Alanyaspor vs Göztepe

Alanyaspor welcome Göztepe in a Süper Lig meeting both sides need. Alanyaspor sit mid-table with four points from three games, while Göztepe have only one, making this an early chance to build momentum. Alanyaspor's start has been mixed: a 1-1 draw with Gaziantep FK, a 1-0 win over Beşiktaş thanks to Lima's second-half strike, then a 2-1 loss at Eyüpspor after Arda Usluoğlu's early goal was cancelled out by a stoppage-time winner. Göztepe have fared worse, drawing 3-3 with Samsunspor before back-to-back defeats, including a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray where Novatus Miroshi and Juan found the net. Coach Stanimir Stoilov insisted his side deserved more from that game. Historically Alanyaspor has the edge, winning 7 of 20 meetings to Göztepe's 4, with the last clash ending 1-1. Both sides will be eager to find their footing, setting up a cagey affair. Our prediction: 2-1
