Göztepe, who will face Galatasaray away in the Süper Lig, have lost their last 9 matches against this opponent.
Göztepe, who will face Galatasaray away on Saturday in the Super League, has not been able to earn even a single point against its rival in the last 9 league matches.
LAST WIN WAS IN 2019
Göztepe, who achieved their last victory against Galatasaray in the 2019-2020 season, has not been able to get any points since then. On December 21, 2019, Göztepe defeated Galatasaray at Bornova Aziz Kocaoğlu Stadium with goals from Jarome and Halil Akbunar, and has faced a great longing since then. Göztepe started the bad streak by losing 3-1 to Galatasaray in Istanbul in the second half of that season. The Izmir team also lost both matches 3-1 to its opponent in the 2020-2021 season. In the 2021-2022 season when Göztepe was relegated from the Super League, Galatasaray managed to beat the Izmir team 2-1 in Istanbul and 3-2 at Gürsel Aksel Stadium.
GALATASARAY ALLERGY IN GÖZTEPE
Göztepe also failed to get points from Galatasaray in the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons. While the matches in 2024-2025 ended 2-1 and 2-0 in favor of Galatasaray, Göztepe also lost the matches 3-1 last season. Galatasaray became the only team against which head coach Stanimir Stoilov, who entered his 3rd Super League season with Göztepe, could not experience the joy of earning points. Stoilov, who has faced 21 different teams in the Super League, has not even seen a draw only in matches against Galatasaray. In Istanbul, Göztepe last managed to beat its opponent 1-0 in the 1972-1973 season. Since that date, Göztepe has not experienced joy in away games for 53 years.
MANY ABSENCES IN DEFENSE
The absences in defense are causing concern for the technical staff at Göztepe, who continue their preparations. The yellow-reds, who will not be able to use injured center-backs Furkan, Sundberg, and Godoi, are expected to assign Taha, Bokele, and Miroshi to the defensive trio. It was also noted that especially after Victor Osimhen's very good start to the season at Galatasaray, Stoilov will take special measures to stop the Nigerian striker.
