NOT DEFEAT TO GÖZTEPE

MISSING PLAYERS IN GÖZTEPE MAKE YOU THINK
The missing players in Göztepe make the technical staff think. Isaac Solet’s termination of the season was a shock to the yellow-reds, one of the teams that left their mark on the season. The injuries of David Datro Fofana and Kubilay Kanatsızkuş, who came to the agenda on loan from Chelsea at the beginning of the season, make Stanimir Stoilov think.

Football fans are eagerly awaiting the competition between the two strikers in the match to be played at Rams Park.

Galatasaray, which scored 47 times in 16 matches in the Super League, is at the top in this field. Cimbom, who is effective with goal weapons such as Yunus Akgün, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Dries Mertens and Victor Osimhen, wants to hit the net against Göztepe.
