Gaziantep

LLWLLL 📉

Gaziantep will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-1 Super Lig defeat last time out to MKE Ankaragücü.

In that game, Gaziantep managed 30% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target. The scorer for Gaziantep was Marko Jevtović (7'). Ankaragucu got 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Efkan Bekiroğlu (31', 68') and Ali Sowe (65') scored for MKE Ankaragücü.

Gaziantep have been quite ineffective in attack in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 4 versus opposition teams during the course of their previous six fixtures. In those games, Gaziantep have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them come to 12. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see whether that pattern will persist in this upcoming match.

Going into this encounter, Gaziantep have not won against Kasimpasa in their previous 4 matches in the league.

Kasimpasa

📋 Team News: Gaziantep

Ulaş Zengin (Achilles tendon rupture), Onur Başyiğit (unknown injury) and Bryan Acosta (unknown injury) will be missing for Gaziantep manager Selçuk İnan.

We think that Gaziantep look set to line up in a 4-1-4-1 system for the game, handing starts to F. Constantin Nita, Salem M'Bakata, Nicolas N'Koulou, Arda Kizildag, Mustafa Eskihellac, Ogün Özcicek, Deian Sorescu, Marko Jevtovic, Alexandru Maxim, Max Gradel and Denis Drăguş.

ℹ️ Team News: Kasimpasa

Kasimpasa manager Sami Uğurlu has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Driess Saddiki (unknown injury) and Erdem Çetinkaya (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be making appearances. Taylan Aydın will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

There’s a good chance that Apaçiler appear most likely to make use of a 4-1-4-1 formation, choosing Andreas Gianniotis, K. Josiah Omeruo, Claudio Winck, Jackson Porozo, Yasin Özcan, Gökhan Gül, Mamadou Fall, Haris Hajradinovic, Aytac Kara, Mortadha Ben Ouanes and Nuno da Costa.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Kasimpasa should be able to put one past this Gaziantep outfit, but that probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Gaziantep at the end of the match. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
