Team News

Goztepe
Fenerbahce
  • Kuryu Matsuki has suffered a hamstring strain and will not be available here. Yalcin Kayan is set to start.
  • Fred is unavailable until September with an injury.
  • Levent Mercan is likely to make his debut here as Ferdi Kadioglu has suffered a hamstring strain.
  • Irfan Can Egribayat and Mert Hakan Yandas, neither of whom were expected to start, are suspended.

Prediction

  • Goztepe managed to keep Antalya to a goalless draw last time out. This was a solid defensive performance yet the Izmir team looked out of ideas when going forward. Stoilov will unashamedly park the bus here.
  • Fenerbahce were 1-0 winners against Adana Demirspor in the first game of their season. This was a vintage Mourinho performance and perhaps a tad too slow and tedious for some fans. Then the Canaries were pushed out of the Champions League as they drew 1-1 with Lille. The Portuguese manager knows his tired side needs to get back on their feet after the European disaster so he will use all in his arsenal to scrape another win here.

  • Edin Dzeko TSA +175

  • In the Super Lig, Kartal was a better Manager than Mourinho is. Ali Koc made a big mistake to fire Kartal after it was marginal, last year, in terms of winning the League. This just feels like Jorge Jesus all over again---.

  • wen Mourinho fired?
