Match summary
Süper Lig Matchday 8 brings Kocaelispor vs Göztepe to the Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu on Sunday 18 October 2026, with our model leaning to a Göztepe win and Göztepe win or draw as the double chance.
Why this pick?
Our model's pick is a Göztepe win, mainly because it rates them above the Süper Lig average on its long-run, xG-based strength rating while Kocaelispor sit below it. Home advantage is the main point against, and the recent meetings have brought Göztepe no win. Göztepe's attacking play over their last five matches is the counterweight: big chances created and touches in the opposition box clearly above the league average, shots above it too, while Kocaelispor have been below average in the opposition box and conceding shots at an above-average rate. Their own attacking threat counts for little here. Even so, the call is narrow.
