Gaziantep

WWLDWL

Gaziantep will be hoping for a better result following a 2-1 Super Lig loss in their previous game against İstanbul Başakşehir.

In that game, Gaziantep had 45% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Gaziantep was David Okereke (9'). At the other end, Istanbul Basaksehir got 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. Krzysztof Piątek (42') and Ivan Brnić (45') scored for İstanbul Başakşehir.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Gaziantep have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Gaziantep have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 6 goals during that time.

Their prior results show that Gaziantep:

• have not registered a win against Fenerbahçe in their last 6 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches at home.

Fenerbahçe

In their previous fixture, Fenerbahçe drew 3-3 in the Super Lig tie with Kayserispor.

In that game, Fenerbahçe had 72% possession and 27 shots on goal with 7 on target. For Fenerbahçe, the goals were scored by Anderson Talisca (36', 79'), Dominik Livaković (48' Own goal) and Allan Saint-Maximin (64'). For their opponents, Kayserispor got 4 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Ramazan Civelek (7') and Talha Sarıarslan (94') scored for Kayserispor.

Showing their predisposition for productive encounters, we’ve had goals 23 times in the prior 6 matches in which Fenerbahçe have taken to the field, yielding an average of 3.83 goals for each meeting. Opposing teams have got 7 of those goals. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained here, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Fenerbahçe:

• haven't been defeated by Gaziantep in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 7 away league matches.

👥 Head to head

A study of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 29/04/2022 shows that these encounters have been miserable for Gaziantep. They have not managed to register any wins at all while Fenerbahçe have maintained the edge over them, running out winners in 100 per cent of those matches.

19 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 5 of them for Gaziantep and 14 coming from Sarı Kanaryalar. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.17.

That time, Fenerbahçe had 55% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. The goalscorers were Oğuz Aydın (3'), Rodrigo Becão (78') and Edin Džeko (89').

📰 Team News: Gaziantep

We are thinking that Gaziantep may well use the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match with Sokratis Dioudis, Deian Sorescu, Semih Guler, Bruno Viana, Salem M'Bakata, Alexandru Maxim, Papa Alioune Ndiaye, Ogün Özcicek, Christopher Lungoyi, Kenan Kodro and Halil Dervisoglu.

📋 Team News: Fenerbahçe

It’s our belief that Sarı Kanaryalar might begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 lineup, choosing Dominik Livakovic, Mert Müldür, Milan Skriniar, Diego Carlos, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Sebastian Szymański, Fred, Dusan Tadic, Talisca, Allan Saint-Maximin and Youssef En-Nesyri.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that Gaziantep will manage to put a goal past this Fenerbahçe team, but a single goal possibly won’t prevent defeat.

Our tip is for a narrow 1-2 advantage for Fenerbahçe at the end of the 90 minutes. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
