Göztepe v Fatih Karagümrük: European push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Göztepe host Fatih Karagümrük in the Süper Lig on Saturday, 31 January 2026 at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu, with the hosts chasing European spots and the visitors battling to climb away from danger.

Göztepe are 4th on 36 points and have had the better of recent head to heads, winning four of the last eight to Karagümrük's two with two draws, including a 2-0 away victory in August.

Form favours the İzmir side: three wins and a draw from their last four league games, capped by a 1-1 draw at Fenerbahçe. Karagümrük are winless in five league matches, losing four, most recently 3-1 against Galatasaray.

Injuries shape selection: Göztepe are without Alexis Antunes, Furkan Bayir and Anthony Dennis, while Karagümrük's Joao Camacho is also sidelined.

The hosts' success has been built on a sturdy defence, with only 11 conceded and 11 clean sheets from 19, despite averaging 37% possession and 68.08% pass accuracy. They can threaten in the air, with six headed goals and 23.74% cross accuracy. Karagümrük have shipped 37 and kept one clean sheet, but pass at 78.43%. Key threats include Juan's six league goals for Göztepe, supported by Amin Cherni's four assists, while David Datro Fofana has six for Karagümrük with Daniel Anthony Johnson on three assists.

A home win would push Göztepe to 39 points and further cement their European bid. Victory for Karagümrük would take them to 12 points and could inject momentum into their survival fight.
