REF’s picks

Backing under 2.5 goals looks like a solid entry given the cautious tactical setups and recent head-to-head history between these two sides. Both teams have shown tendencies toward tight, low-scoring affairs when they meet, and key absences in attack could further limit scoring opportunities.

1. 1Both previous head-to-head matches finished in scoreless or low-scoring stalemates.
2. 2Kocaelispor missing several key offensive players limits their natural goal threat.
3. 3Goztepe can sometimes struggle to convert away from home against well-organised defences.
