Prediction
Our assessment is that İstanbul Başakşehir can and should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
At the other end, Gaziantep won’t find it easy to find the back of the net but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here.
Accordingly, we see a decent 3-1 win for İstanbul Başakşehir at the end of the 90 minutes.
