Göztepe v Eyüpspor: top-five charge meets survival bid | OneFootball

Göztepe host Eyüpspor in the Süper Lig on Saturday, 28 February 2026, at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu, with the hosts eyeing the top four and the visitors seeking breathing space above the relegation zone.

The last two top flight meetings ended level, including a goalless draw in September 2025. Göztepe are fifth on 41 points, Eyüpspor sit 15th with 21.

Recent form is mixed. Göztepe have one win in five, drawing three before a 4-0 defeat at Beşiktaş last time out. Eyüpspor have two wins in five, bouncing back from a 5-1 loss at Galatasaray with a 1-0 home victory over Gençlerbirliği.

Ismail Köybasi and Efkan Bekiroglu are injured for Göztepe, while Eyüpspor are without Calegari.

Stanimir Stoilov's side have leaned on a robust defence, conceding only 16 goals in 23 matches with 13 clean sheets, and just five against at home. They could look to Juan, the club's leading scorer with six league goals, and the supply of Amin Cherni. Eyüpspor keep the ball more cleanly with 81.67% pass accuracy and 49% possession, but with 19 scored and 35 conceded, they may be vulnerable if Göztepe break quickly.

A home win would take Göztepe to 44 points and could move them into the top four. Victory for Eyüpspor would lift them to 24 points and may create daylight above the relegation places.
