İsmail Köybaşı (Rib fracture), Doğan Erdoğan (Torn thigh muscle), Novatus Miroshi (unknown injury), Kuryu Matsuki (Muscle tear), Isaac Solet (Cruciate ligament tear) and Djalma Silva (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Göztepe manager Stanimir Stoilov.

📋 Team News: Hatayspor
Hatayspor boss Murat Şahin has a number of players out of action. Rui Pedro (unknown injury) and Lamine Diack (Herniated disc) are those who can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that Hatayspor could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Visar Bekaj, Kamil Ahmet Cörekci, Guy-Marcelin Kilama, Francisco Calvo, Cemali Sertel, Massanga Matondo, Abdulkadir Parmak, Joelson Fernandes, Görkem Saglam, Funsho Bamgboye and Carlos Strandberg.
💡 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Hatayspor are certainly able to score against this Göztepe outfit, although that probably won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.
We’re predicting both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Göztepe when all is said and done. Let’s see what happens here.
