Göztepe v Antalyaspor: top-half push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Göztepe host Antalyaspor in the Süper Lig on Saturday, 25 April 2026 at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu, with the home side aiming to firm up sixth while the visitors look for breathing space above the relegation places.

Göztepe won the November 2025 meeting 2-1 away and come in sixth on 48 points. Antalyaspor are 14th with 28.

Recent form points to a tight game. Göztepe have drawn three of their past five, including 1-1 at Kocaelispor and 3-3 against Kasımpaşa, plus an away win at Gençlerbirliği. Antalyaspor have one win in five, a 3-0 home victory over Eyüpspor, alongside defeats at Beşiktaş and at home to Konyaspor.

Selection is significant. Göztepe list Ismail Köybasi as injured and have Heliton Jorge Tito dos Santos, Novatus Dismas and Anthony Dennis suspended. Antalyaspor are without Veysel Sari and Samuel Ballet through suspension.

The hosts' season profile is built on a solid defence, with 15 clean sheets and only 27 conceded. They play with less of the ball at 38% possession but carry an aerial threat, having scored seven headed goals and delivering plenty of open-play crosses. Juan leads their line with nine league goals. Antalyaspor complete passes at 78.37% and may lean on creator Ramzi Safuri, but they have conceded 49 and kept seven clean sheets, so defensive resilience will be tested.

A home win would take Göztepe to 51 points and consolidate their top-half standing. Three points for Antalyaspor would move them to 31 and could pull them further clear of the relegation places.
