Beşiktaş vs Göztepe prediction, H2H & betting tips - November 24, 2024
On November 24, the Vodafone Park will host the 13th round match of the Turkish Süper Lig, where Beşiktaş will face Göztepe. I suggest betting on goals/cards/the winner for this match.
Beşiktaş
Last season, the team continued and deepened a previously emerging decline, eventually finishing in 6th place in the league standings. However, they were able to secure a cup victory, which helped improve their overall ratings. To remedy the situation, they brought in Ciro Immobile during the summer and Giovanni van Bronckhorst as the head coach.
Van Bronckhorst's debut was nothing short of magical: they demolished Galatasaray 5-0 in the Turkish Super Cup. Overall, their start to the season was promising. But as November approached, despite improving their form in the Europa League (with wins over Lyon and Malmö), Beşiktaş suffered a downturn. They not only lost the derby to Fenerbahçe but also fell to Kasımpaşa, and in the last round, they were held to a goalless draw by Istanbul Başakşehir.
Göztepe
The club experienced its best period in decades after being promoted to the Süper Lig in 2017, managing to stay there for five consecutive years. However, they were relegated and only returned to the top division after finishing second in the First League last season.
Expectations for Stanislav Stoilov’s squad were to fight for survival, even though they made several interesting signings over the summer. Göztepe only lost for the first time in the sixth round, suffering a 3-4 defeat away to Samsunspor. Since then, they have been alternating wins at home with losses away, but this was enough for them to sit in 6th place in the league standings.
Match Facts
- Beşiktaş has failed to win in their last three matches.
- Göztepe has won five of their last eight matches.
- Beşiktaş wins the first half in 36% of matches, while Göztepe wins in 48% of matches.
Head-to-Head
In the last five encounters, Beşiktaş has won four times in regular time and once in a penalty shootout during a cup match.
Prediction for Beşiktaş vs Göztepe
Bookmakers do not believe that the visitors, who have been performing well recently, have a chance for a draw. Göztepe has struggled on the road, and a motivated Beşiktaş should secure a victory here, likely with a "-1 goal" handicap (odds: 1.86).
