Gaziantep, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Gaziantep and Fatih Karagümrük in their last match, which ended in a 3-3 draw. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Fatih Karagümrük who had 18 attempts and 8 on target.
Manager Erol Bulut will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 11 of their 13 league matches this season.
They have had a good run of form at Kalyon Stadyumu recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Besiktas, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Galatasaray will not have sat easily with the Beşiktaş squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 46% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Galatasaray, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 8 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Beşiktaş recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Cenk Tosun will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Beşiktaş.
It was not a positive ending for Gaziantep last time they met Beşiktaş in the league, with the game ending in a 1-0 defeat.
Ahead of this match, Gaziantep won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in any of their last 2 meetings against Kara Kartallar. Playing away from home, Beşiktaş have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Gaziantep.
In the league, Gaziantep have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Beşiktaş to Kalyon Stadyumu.
With no real injury worries, Gaziantep manager Erol Bulut will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Şenol Güneş has a number of injury concerns in his Beşiktaş squad to contend with: Josef de Souza (Knee), Rachid Ghezzal (Thigh), Arthur Masuaku (Thigh) and Valentin Rosier (Hamstring)
