Three teams could win the Turkish Super Lig as we go into the final game of the season. Besiktas top the table on the same number of points as second placed Galatasaray and two clear of Fenerbahce in third. They travel to Goztepe who are 10th in the table. Besiktas have the advantage in head-to-head results over Fenerbahce but it's level with Galatasary so goal difference would be the decider and at present Besiktas have a two goal difference there. They could therefore win this game and still not be champions if Galtasaray get a big win. They could have had the title won by now but have lost their last two league games. May began well with a 7-0 home win over Hatayspor but then they lost at Galatasaray and then to Fatih Karagumrik. They had been unbeaten in their last eight home league games before that loss to the in-form Karagumrik. Now they travel to Goztepe looking for three points. If they draw then they will have to depend on Galatasaray not beating Yeni Matalyaspor at home. Away form saw them lose three times before Christmas. They have only two losses in their last 12 on the road and have won 11 away league games this season.

Goztepe are tenth and with little to play for. No chance of European football or relegation but Galatasaray and Fenerbache will want them to put in a strong performance. They are not in good form though and like their opponents have lost their last two league matches. Their last game was away at Genclerbirligi and they led 2-0, only to return home with a 5-3 defeat. Before that they had lost 1-0 at home to Konyaspor. Their home form is poor coming into this game with just four points from the last five league games. That makes it six home league losses this season. Only two clean sheets have been kept in their last nine at home. A few goals might be on the cards here as Goztepe have scored 58 league goals but conceded 57. Back Besiktas to get the win and hopefully it will be enough to win them the title.
