Gaziantep
WLLLLD

In that match, Gaziantep managed 42% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Antalyaspor got 8 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
It has not been often in recent times where Gaziantep have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Gaziantep have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals in the process.
Leading up to this clash, Gaziantep:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Kasimpasa in their last 2 matches.
- are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.
Kasimpasa
DLWDWL ⚖
After tasting defeat last time out to İstanbul Başakşehir in Super Lig competition, Kasimpasa will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, Kasimpasa had 55% possession and 19 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. For Kasimpasa, the goalscorers were Haris Hajradinović (22') and Yasin Özcan (60'). For their opponents, Istanbul Basaksehir got 10 shots at goal with 7 on target. Léo Duarte (13'), Olivier Kemen (55') and Jerome Opoku (81') scored for İstanbul Başakşehir.
The numbers tell their own story, and Kasimpasa have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 7 goals in all. Defensively, Kasimpasa seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Let’s see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Emre Taşdemir (unknown injury) and Quentin Daubin (unknown injury) will be missing for Gaziantep gaffer Selçuk İnan.
It looks as if Gaziantep will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match featuring Mustafa Burak Bozan, Arda Kizildag, Semih Guler, Bruno Viana, Deian Sorescu, Papa Alioune Ndiaye, Furkan Soyalp, Kacper Kozlowski, Alexandru Maxim, Salem M'Bakata and David Okereke.

Team News: Kasimpasa
We are inclined to think that Apaçiler will likely elect for a 4-1-4-1 lineup using Andreas Gianniotis, Claudio Winck, Kamil Piatkowski, Yasin Özcan, Kevin Rodrigues, Cafu, Mamadou Fall, Haris Hajradinovic, Aytac Kara, Mortadha Ben Ouanes and Nuno da Costa.

Prediction
We’re thinking that Kasimpasa and Gaziantep may well end up cancelling each other out here.
A draw looks like a realistic possibility but, again, we don’t expect it to end goalless. We’re therefore tipping a really entertaining tussle with a 2-2 score draw at the end of the match.
