Detailed Analysis
Trabzonspor host Göztepe in a pivotal Türkiye Kupası semi-final clash at Papara Park on April 24, 2025. Both clubs are eyeing silverware, but only one will advance to the final, and recent form suggests the home side has the upper hand.
Fatih Tekke’s Trabzonspor are riding high after a 1-0 away victory over Adana Demirspor and a strong finish in their cup group and quarterfinal win over Bodrum. Their home form has been excellent, going unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 home games, winning 10 of those.
Göztepe, while surging through the cup with five straight wins and 14 goals scored, are in dreadful league form. They are winless in 11 Super Lig matches and come into this game with serious defensive vulnerabilities. Their away performances have also been spotty, with only two wins in eight recent road fixtures.
The historical head-to-head leans toward Trabzonspor as well. The home side is unbeaten in seven of their last ten meetings with Göztepe, and they’ve built a strong record at Papara Park in recent years.
Our suggested bet is Trabzonspor to Win, with an expected outcome of a 2-1 home victory. While Göztepe are capable of scoring, the quality and consistency of Trabzonspor at home should see them through.
In conclusion, this cup semi-final leans strongly in favor of Trabzonspor. They’re in better form, playing at home, and looking to lift silverware under Tekke’s promising leadership. Expect a competitive game with the hosts edging it.
