Göztepe Outplays the Big Clubs on the Road

Trendyol Süper Lig side Göztepe could not start the season the way they wanted. Without a win in their first six matches, the Yellow-Reds picked up three consecutive victories after the international break, extending their unbeaten run to five matches and easing the impact of a poor start.

The team opened the season with a 3-3 draw away at Samsunspor, then lost to Gençlerbirliği, Galatasaray and Gaziantep FK. Göztepe drew with Alanyaspor and Çaykur Rizespor, finishing the first six weeks without a win. Returning from the break with 3 points, the team beat Eyüpspor 4-0 away from home to claim their first win of the season.

The following week, the Yellow-Reds won 2-1 away at Kocaelispor. Most recently, the side beat Çorum FK 2-0 at home, earning their first home win of the season.

Göztepe's most notable performance has come on the road. In their five away matches this season, they have won two, drawn two and lost one, collecting 8 points. With this result, they moved ahead of Fenerbahçe, Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş, becoming the fourth-best away points collectors in the league.

In the away points table, Çaykur Rizespor and Kasımpaşa lead with 10 points. Galatasaray, who have played one match fewer, are third with 9 points, just behind these two teams.
