Fenerbahçe Face Göztepe as Dirk Kuyt Faces His First Test
Fenerbahçe take the field against Göztepe for their first match after a change in the coaching staff. Dirk Kuyt will be looking for a win in his first game in charge.
Fenerbahçe and Göztepe have met 60 times in Süper Lig history. Fenerbahçe have won 27 of these matches, while the İzmir side have won 9. The remaining 24 matches ended in draws.
The yellow-navy blues have scored 91 goals in these meetings. Göztepe have netted 45 times against Fenerbahçe. The last league meeting between the two sides last season ended 1-1.
For Fenerbahçe, who play this week, the match will be their first since the change in the coaching staff. After losing 2-1 to Galatasaray in the derby, İsmail Kartal parted ways with the club and the head coaching role was given to Dirk Kuyt. The Dutch coach will be looking for a win against Göztepe in his first match in charge.
Fenerbahçe enter the 10th week with 16 points in the league table, while Göztepe have collected 12 points. Another notable detail in the rivalry's history is the choice of venue. A match planned to be played in Istanbul in the 1959/1960 season was instead held in Bursa. The biggest win came in the 1974/1975 season, when the Istanbul match ended 7-1 in favor of the yellow-navy blues.
