The Turkish Cup has been held in a new format this season. The tournament starts with a group stage, followed by a knockout stage that begins immediately at the quarterfinals. To advance to the knockout stage, teams must finish in the top two places in their respective groups.
After two rounds, Kasımpaşa’s position is concerning. The team has suffered two goalless defeats and is in 5th place in its group before the third round. To keep their chances of reaching the knockout stage alive, Kasımpaşa must win this match; otherwise, their hopes of advancing will be significantly reduced.
On the other hand, Göztepe finds itself in a completely different situation. The team is tied for first place in its group with Fenerbahçe, having earned 6 points from two victories over Gaziantep and Erzurumspor. Both matches ended with a score of 1-0.
In terms of league performance, Göztepe is also doing better: they sit in 6th place in the Turkish Süper Lig, while Kasımpaşa is 9th. The gap between the two clubs is 4 points, but Göztepe still has a game in hand.
