Galatasaray welcome Goztepe Izmir to the Türk Telekom Stadium on Tuesday night for Super Lig action. The hosts are second in the table with 23 points from 12 games, three points behind leaders Alanyaspor. The visitors, meanwhile, are ninth in the league with 18 points from 13 games. Both clubs will be looking to get back to the win column in midweek after suffering defeats over the weekend. Galatasaray had a three-game winning streak halted by Fatih Karagumrik, the midtable side condemning them to a 2-1 loss. Goztepe suffered their third successive defeat in all competitions when they went down 1-0 at home to Hatayspor. The form of Goztepe does not improve with a glance at their away record. On the road, they have failed to win ten of their last 11 games. Six of their last seven away matches have also featured fewer than three goals. Galatasaray have beaten Goztepe in seven of their previous eight meetings. The Turkish giants have also won their last seven home games against Goztepe - the last time they failed to beat Goztepe at home being in 1980.

While Galatasary benefits from the notable contributions of Radamel Falcao and Mbaye Diagne, their goalscoring form has not been tremendous at home in recent weeks. They have failed to score more than one goal in five of their last six home matches. However, they remain unbeaten in their previous four home matches, winning three. Another feature of their recent matches has been the general lack of goals with three of their last four games featuring fewer than three goals. Back against both teams scoring.
