Team News

Gaziantep FK
Galatasaray
  • Mustafa Eskihellac is set to continue to start at left wing-back as Godfrey Bitok is still injured.
  • Berkan Kutlu is expected to deputise for Ismail Jakobs who is reportedly having issues with his achilles tendon.
  • Mauro Icardi has suffered a cruciate ligament tear and will not be available until the next season.
  • Kerem Demirbay, who wasn't expected to start here, is also injured.

Prediction

  • Gaziantepspor were beaten 2-1 by Samsunspor last time out. Inan experimented with 3-5-2 and despite the loss, he was pleased with the team's performance. Here, however, they will line-up more like a 5-3-2 as Antep will spend much of the game in their own half, defending very deep.
  • Galatasaray were 1-0 winners against Konyaspor last time out. They were the better team and deserved to win despite their performance being slightly off compared to their previous home games. The trip to Ajax for the Europa League game means they will be tired here.
  • Gaziantep have won five of their last six home games. Inan's team have the ability to frustrate opponents with their rigorous defending. They might cause a surprise here.

  • Osi TSA -150

  • Gala Win

  • Gaziantap has won 9 of last 10 home games, in fact they are yet to concede a goal in last 8 home matches now! On the other side, the league topper Galatasaray have had BTTS in last 11 of last 12 overall games now. Given Galatasaray’s strong H2H record and their leaky form, expecting BTTS & o2.5 goals - 1.80 odds

  • Gala win btts
