Back Over 3.5 Goals @ 2.3811/8 in Goztepe v Besiktas

Tobias Gourlay's rounding off the week in Turkey, where he's hoping for big fireworks from Goztepe and Besiktas

Goztepe v Besiktas
Sunday 16:30

It wasn't the defensive horror show we expected, but we did get the goals we needed as Lobos upset Liga MX leaders Monterrey 2-1.

Our shift finishes in Turkey, where seventh-placed Goztepe are entertaining fourth-placed Besiktas in one of this afternoon's Super Lig games.

In their first top-flight campaign for more than a decade, Goztepe's first five home games have spewed out 23 goals, with no clean sheets registered at either end. Four of those games went Over 3.5 Goals and that's our punt on this one.

At home and away, the Black Eagles of Besiktas have both scored and conceded in each of their last five league games. Under Senol Gunes, they have been very open on the road: more than 60% of their away games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals (24/39). On their way to generous hosts this afternoon, we fancy they can get up and Over 3.5 Goals too.
