Fenerbahçe v Göztepe: title push meets European charge | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe host Göztepe in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 25 January 2026 at Şükrü Saracoğlu in İstanbul, with second facing fourth and both the title race and European places in focus.

Fenerbahçe are unbeaten in 18 league games and sit on 42 points, while Göztepe are fourth with 35. The reverse fixture in August ended 0-0.

Kanarya have won four of their last five in all competitions, the only setback coming against Aston Villa. Göztepe have also taken four wins from five, including back to back league victories.

Levent Mercan and Norman Brown are out injured for Kanarya. Göztepe are without Alexis Antunes, while defenders Heliton and Malcom Bokele Mputu are suspended, so Stanimir Stoilov may need to reshuffle his back line.

Kanarya average 2.3 goals per game with 59% possession and 86.22% passing accuracy, led by Talisca's 11 league goals and Marco Asensio's eight goals and six assists. Göztepe have built around a compact shape, recording 11 clean sheets with 38% possession. Juan leads their scoring with six league goals and Amin Cherni has four assists. The visitors could look to contain and counter, while the hosts may try to control the game and feed their front line.

A win would lift Kanarya to 45 points and keep pressure on leaders Galatasaray. Victory for Göztepe would take them to 38 points and could strengthen their grip on the European places.
