On February 27, 2025, the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium in Istanbul will host the 3rd round of the Turkish Cup between Kasımpaşa and Göztepe. We suggest placing a bet on goals in this match.
Preview
The Turkish Cup has been held in a new format this season. The tournament starts with a group stage, followed by a knockout stage that begins immediately at the quarterfinals. To advance to the knockout stage, teams must finish in the top two places in their respective groups.
After two rounds, Kasımpaşa’s position is concerning. The team has suffered two goalless defeats and is in 5th place in its group before the third round. To keep their chances of reaching the knockout stage alive, Kasımpaşa must win this match; otherwise, their hopes of advancing will be significantly reduced.
On the other hand, Göztepe finds itself in a completely different situation. The team is tied for first place in its group with Fenerbahçe, having earned 6 points from two victories over Gaziantep and Erzurumspor. Both matches ended with a score of 1-0.
In terms of league performance, Göztepe is also doing better: they sit in 6th place in the Turkish Süper Lig, while Kasımpaşa is 9th. The gap between the two clubs is 4 points, but Göztepe still has a game in hand.
Match Facts and H2H
- In the last 11 matches for Kasımpaşa, only once did the "Total over 2.5" bet not pass.
- Göztepe, in contrast, has seen the "Total under 2.5" bet hit in their last 4 matches.
- Kasımpaşa has been strong offensively at home, failing to score in only one of their last seven home games.
- In the last three encounters between these teams, the "Total over 2.5" bet consistently passed.
- The most recent meeting between the teams earlier this year saw Göztepe comfortably beat Kasımpaşa 5-0 at home.
Prediction
This match is crucial for Kasımpaşa, which has little to lose at this stage. The hosts will have to play for the win, but the history of head-to-head meetings and their recent heavy loss to Göztepe makes their success uncertain. Considering the high-scoring nature of previous encounters between the teams, the optimal bet would be "Both teams to score" with odds of 1.69.
