One of the matches of the 23rd round of the Turkish championship will be played on Monday in Bodrum, where local Bodrumspor will face Göztepe. Here’s a betting suggestion on goals in this encounter with good chances of success.
Match Preview
Last year, Bodrumspor had an impressive run in the First League, finishing in fourth place and earning the chance to move up to the Super League through the playoffs. In the decisive matches, the team defeated Boluspor (2:0), Corum (2:1), and Sakaryaspor (3:1), securing their long-awaited promotion. However, in the top division, the club has yet to fully unleash its potential.
Currently, Bodrumspor sits in 17th place in the standings, ahead of only the bottom teams — Hatayspor and Adana Demirspor. The gap to the 15th place, which ensures safety, continues to grow and now stands at seven points. In the last round, the team lost 1:3 away to Konyaspor, but in the Turkish Cup, they won 3:1 at home against Antalyaspor.
Göztepe from Izmir is showing solid results this season, with 34 points from 21 matches, placing them in 5th position in the standings. They have won 10 matches, drawn 4, and lost 7. The gap to 4th place, occupied by Eyüpspor, is 5 points, while 6th place Başakşehir is breathing down their necks with just 2 points fewer.
In the last round, Stanislav Stoilov's team suffered a defeat, losing 0:1 at home to Alanyaspor. A key moment of the match was when the team conceded a goal at the end of the first half and then failed to convert a penalty in the 81st minute, missing the chance to get back into the game. After that, Göztepe won 1:0 at home against Gaziantep in the Turkish Cup.
