Göztepe's Home Troubles Continue

Göztepe did not get off to the start they wanted in the Trendyol Süper Lig. The İzmir side failed to win in their first 6 matches, then put together a winning streak with 4 consecutive victories. The Yellow-Reds hosted Başakşehir in front of their fans to keep that run going.

Göztepe lost 2-1 to the Istanbul side. It was their 3rd defeat in 5 home matches this season. With 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats at home, Göztepe have collected 4 points and have been one of the league's poorest home performers.

Stanimir Stoilov's side scored 7 goals in the 5 matches they played at Gürsel Aksel Stadium. They conceded 9 in that stretch, leaving them with a goal difference of minus 2.

After losing their first two home matches to Gençlerbirliği and Gaziantep FK, Göztepe took a 1-0 lead against Çaykur Rizespor but fell behind 2-1. A late goal earned them a 2-2 draw, and they then beat Çorum FK 2-0. Göztepe also led 1-0 against Başakşehir but could not hold on to their advantage.
