Historically, in the last handful of duels between these teams, Göztepe's record has been akin to a rather stubborn mule—absolutely no wins to flaunt!

Battling up the league table, Göztepe strut into position 5, while Kocaelispor meanders in position 11. Will the league standings inspire Göztepe to play like their jerseys depend on it?

Now, onto the player theatrics! Göztepe has their own goal machine, Juan, ready to ignite the scoreboard with his five-goal tally this season. But Kocaelispor's H. Keita, with his gift of assists, is likely to keep Göztepe’s defenders busy marking his every move. The real star performances? Göztepe's Emersonn (7.3), Mateusz Lis (7.29), and Allan (7.25) hold the honor of top ratings, while Kocaelispor's Botond Balogh (7.11), Ahmet Oğuz (7.03), and Habib Keita (7) aren’t too far behind.
