Two sides who have struggled for results this season go head to head on Sunday as Kasimpasa welcome Goztepe SK to the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.

Having secured a 10th-placed finish last season, Goztepe currently find themselves in 18th place in the Super Lig table, one point and two places below Sunday's hosts.


Match preview

Kasimpasa continue to drop points in the Turkish top flight as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of title favourites Fenerbahce two Sundays ago.

The league leaders took a comfortable two-goal lead into the half-time break courtesy of goals from Mergim Berisha and Luiz Gustavo before Michal Travnik pulled one back for the visitors eight minutes after the interval.

After picking up four points from their opening two games, Cihat Arslan's side head into Sunday's game winless in each of their most recent six outings this term, dating back to a 2-0 victory over Giresunspor on August 21.

This poor run of four wins and two draws has been down to their frailties at the defensive end of the pitch as they have conceded 11 goals in that time, with their performance at the opposite end of the pitch not impressive either.

This slump in form has seen the Apaciler fall to 16th place in the Super Lig table, level on points with 15th-placed Basaksehir and Malatyaspor in the final relegation spot.

Sunday's visitors have not performed any better either as they find themselves in 18th place on the log after picking up five points from the opening eight games.

Goztepe were left empty-handed once again when they fell to a slender 1-0 defeat against Giresunspor at the Gursel Aksel Stadium on October 2.

Ten minutes after David Tijanic squandered his 61st-minute spot kick, Fousseni Diabate made no mistakes in the opposite box as he converted his penalty to hand the visitors their first win of the season.

Goz Goz have now lost their most recent four games on the bounce dating back to a 2-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir on September 12 and this has been down to their lethargic display at the attacking end of the pitch, where they have netted just twice since then.

While Nestor El Maestro will be desperate to see his side end this dire run, they face the stern test of taking on an opposing side whom they have failed to defeat in all but one of the previous 10 meetings between the sides, losing seven and picking up two draws.

Team News

Kasimpasa will take to the pitch without Hungarian midfielder Kevin Varga, who sustained a muscle injury while on international duty against England back on September 2.

He is joined on the club's injury table by Mortadha Ben Ouanes after the Tunisian midfielder picked up a groin problem against Giresunspor back in August.

Loret Sadiku will also play no part in this weekend's encounter as he is currently suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Fenerbahce last time out.

Sunday's visitors, on the other hand, remain without 25-year-old defender Marko Mihojevic, who is yet to feature this season through a severe ankle injury.

Murat Paluli, who has missed each of the last four games, continues his spell on the sidelines after trudging off the pitch with an injury on the stroke of half time against Basaksehir back in September.

Beykan Simsek will also play no part as the Turkish forward serves the last of a three-game suspension after receiving his marching orders in Goztepe's recent 2-0 defeat to Hatayspor.

Kasimpasa possible starting lineup:
Taskiran; Elmali, Serbest, Donk, Hadergjonaj; Travnik, Sadiku; Erdogan, Hajradinovic, Eysseric; Bozok

Goztepe SK possible starting lineup:
Egribayat; Alici, Arslanagic, Angel, Emir; Nwobodo, Aydogdu; Kayan, Akbunar, Lourency; Ndiaye


We say: Kasimpasa 2-1 Goztepe SK

Kasimpasa and Goztepe will be keen to get one over the other as they find themselves at the wrong end of the table after a rough start to the season.

However, looking at past results between the sides and considering they have the home advantage, we are tipping Kasimpasa to steal a narrow win in this one and move clear of the drop zone.
