Team News

Gaziantep FK
Goztepe
  • Kenan Kodro is expected to deputise for the injured David Okereke.
  • As both Godfery Bitok and Emre Tasdemir are injured, manager Selcuk Inan is expected to continue lining his team up in a 3-5-2 formation.
  • Ahmet Ildiz and Victor Hugo are expected to start in midfield as both Anthony Dennis and Isaac Solet are suspended.
  • David Datro Fofana is set to deputise for the injured Romulo.
  • Kubilay Kanatsızkus, Dogan Erdogan, and Novatus Miroshi, none of whom were expected to start here, are also injured.

Prediction

  • Gaziantep were 3-1 winners against Konyaspor last time out. This was by far their best performance of the season and they fully deserved their win. Tasdemir's absence might be a blessing in disguise as it forced Inan's hand to line his team up in 3-5-2, which brought in much needed dynamism up front.
  • Goztepe's remarkable home form continued with a 2-1 victory over Trabzonspor last time out. This was a counter-attacking performance par excellence by Stoilov's side. However, they lost two key midfielders in Dennis and Solet to suspension and their away form has simply been abysmal since the start of the season with two losses and two draws in four outings.
