Turkish Cup
The two Turkish clubs have met seven times before, most recently in 2022. The results were fairly balanced, with Fatih registering two wins and Göztepe picking up three. Two of those games ended in a draw. In terms of entertainment value, there was no shortage of that, with an average of 2.6 goals scored per game.
Fatih Karagumruk team overview
Fatih Karagümrük secured an immediate return to the Turkish top flight by beating Bandırmaspor in the play-off final in May.
Life in the top flight was always going to be difficult, as they discovered against the champions Galatasaray on matchday one last Friday.
With Marius Trésor Doh sent off after only 23 minutes, the Black-Reds had just 28% possession and conceded three goals without reply.
But having won their last Super Lig match against Göztepe 3:1, they will be feeling confident about picking up their first win of the season this weekend. Marius Trésor Doh starts a two-match ban for his red card against Galatasaray, but the hosts have no injuries.

Goztepe team overview
Meanwhile, Göztepe have already played two league games in the 2025-26 Super Lig campaign. They enjoyed a flying start away at the Çaykur Didi Stadyumu, scoring three goals Rizespor and keeping a clean sheet.
Stanimir Stoilov’s team could not secure another win on Match Day 2, but they certainly put a smile on their fans' faces. The Red and Yellows secured a draw with Fenerbahçe, despite finishing the game with two fewer players.
Juan Santos da Silva and İsmail Köybaşı received red cards in that game and will now be suspended. Meanwhile, Ogün Bayrak is ruled out due to a shoulder injury suffered last month.

Prediction
Fatih Karagumruk lost their opening game but there is no shame in losing to the champions. The Red-Blacks are unbeaten in their last five home games, and having avoided defeat in each of their last three games against Goztepe, they will be feeling confident about picking up their first points of the campaign this week. However, Göztepe are unbeaten in their last six matches, with five wins, so it will be a difficult game for both sides. I am expecting an entertaining game that could end in a 2–2 draw.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Each of the last four competitive games of Fatih Karagumruk ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Five of the last eight competitive games of Goztepe ended with three or more goals.
- Three of the previous four meetings between Fatih and Goztepe at this ground ended with 3+ goals.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
