Gaziantep, Recent FormThe Gaziantep players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Giresunspor recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Giresunspor's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Erol Bulut will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 league games.
Gaziantep will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Istanbul Basaksehir, Recent FormLast time out, İstanbul Başakşehir went away feeling content after the match with a 2-0 home win against Burnley. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Antalyaspor had 6 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Emre Belözoğlu, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 11 goals scored. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Youssouf Ndayishimiye will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in İstanbul Başakşehir's last 6 league games.
The 2-0 victory which İstanbul Başakşehir recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Kalyon Stadyumu, Turuncu Lacivertliler have been unable to break through the Gaziantep defence and find the back of the net. Playing at home, Gaziantep have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Başakşehir.
Başakşehir has a poor track record in the league when they visit Gaziantep, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Gaziantep manager Erol Bulut will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Başakşehir manager Emre Belözoğlu ahead of this clash, with Mesut Özil (Back) missing out, which gives Belözoğlu a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
