Form Guide

Fenerbahçe — All Games: 7W 2D 1L from 10 Süper Lig outings this season, averaging 2.30 points per game. Last five: D W W W W. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters this season, Fenerbahçe have posted 6W 2D 2L at Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi — 2.00 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Göztepe stand at 1W 0D 9L from 10 Süper Lig matches — 0.30 PPG. Last five: L L L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 2.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.50 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Göztepe have gone 2W 2D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 90% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.80 exceeds their overall 0.30 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

Fenerbahçe carry the stronger recent momentum — 2.00 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.30 vs 0.30. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

H2H

The H2H landscape is flat: 1 previous encounters have yielded 0 wins for Fenerbahçe, 0 for Göztepe and 1 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.

The 1 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 29 Nov 2021, ended 1–1 with a draw.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Fenerbahçe in-play and half-time data (32 games, 15 at home): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 71% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games).

Göztepe in-play and half-time data (32 games, 15 at away): they score before half-time in 93% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 93% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 87% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Fenerbahçe 69% and Göztepe 69% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fenerbahçe 56% | Göztepe 62%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fenerbahçe 2.02 xG and Göztepe 1.01 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Fenerbahçe attack 1.041 / defence 0.948 | Göztepe attack 0.869 / defence 1.583. League average goals — home 1.225 / away 1.226. Göztepe bring a strong defensive rating of 1.583 — this is suppressing Fenerbahçe's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 32 Fenerbahçe games / 32 Göztepe games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Fenerbahçe 59% | Draw 24% | Göztepe 17%. Fair-value odds: Fenerbahçe 1.69 | Draw 4.17 | Göztepe 5.88. The model has a clear lean to Fenerbahçe (59%) — a 42pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 3.03. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.03 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Fenerbahçe as the most likely outcome at 59% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.03 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 58% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 57%. Form rates corroborate: Fenerbahçe 50% | Göztepe 90% BTTS from recent games.
