Gaziantep vs Fenerbahce Prediction & Tips
Gaziantep is one of the stragglers in the Turkish Super League. Due to their financial situation and squad potential, this team is capable of more than simply fighting for survival, but so far they have failed to do so. The Red and Blacks, with 29 points, occupy only 13th place, and the gap to the relegation zone is 5 points. The lead is quite comfortable, but it is definitely too early to relax.
Gaziantep’s results lately are particularly disappointing. In the last 5 matches, Selçuk Inan’s team only managed one victory, 2:1 against Sivasspor. Last weekend, Gaziantep suffered an expected away defeat against Trabzonspor (2:3), losing 0:3 during the course of the game.
In the Turkish Cup, Gaziantep have taken only 3 points and are in third place. First they beat Istanbulspor (4:0), but then lost to Göztepe (0:1). A defeat against Fenerbahçe could eliminate the red-and-black’s chances of making the playoffs.
Fenerbahçe continue their fight for the championship in the Turkish Super League. This is precisely the task assigned to the ‘yellow canaries’ from the moment the legendary José Mourinho was appointed head coach. However, Fenerbahçe are in second place, 6 points behind Galatasaray.
In the previous matchday, Fenerbahçe could have come significantly closer to the leader, but in the direct confrontation with Galatasaray they drew 0:0. Before that, Mourinho’s team beat Kasimpasa (3:1) and Alanyaspor (2:0). Furthermore, Fenerbahçe advanced to the round of 16 of the Europa League, beating Anderlecht in the preliminary playoff round by a total of 5:2 in two matches.
As for the Turkish Cup, Fenerbahçe won both opening matches: 3:0 against Kasimpasa and 5:0 against Erzurumspor. Mourinho’s team confidently leads the group and definitely hopes to advance to the playoffs from the first place.
