Match preview

Göztepe host Gençlerbirliği S.K. in Süper Lig action following an eventful opening round for both clubs. The home side kicked off their campaign with an action-packed 3-3 away draw against Samsunspor, placing them 10th in the table with one point. Deploying a 3-4-1-2 system, Göztepe demonstrated potent offensive capability while showing vulnerability at the back.
