There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Göztepe gaffer Nestor El Maestro to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Marko Mihojevic (Fitness) is out of contention.

It looks as if Göz Göz could use a 3-4-3 formation, handing starts to Irfan Can Egribayat, Wilker Angel, Dino Arslanagic, Atinc Nukan, Kerim Alici, Obinna Nwobodo, Soner Aydogdu, Berkan Emir, Halil Akbunar, Cherif Ndiaye and Lourency.

🗞️ Team News: Antalyaspor

Antalyaspor manager Nuri Şahin has not got a full squad to pick from. Bahadir Öztürk (Unknown Injury), Harun Alpsoy (Unknown Injury), Erkan Eyibil (Quarantine), Ersin Zehir (Corona virus), Ufuk Akyol (Fibula Fracture) and Dogukan Nelik (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not ready for selection.

There’s a good chance that Akrepler could decide to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, going with Ruud Boffin, Veysel Sari, Fedor Kudryashov, Eren Albayrak, Bunyamin Balci, Andrea Poli, Deni Milosevic, Güray Vural, A. Minervino da, Enzo Crivelli and Dogukan Sinik.
