Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Denizlispor in 12th and Gazişehir Gaziantep in 10th place.

Relegation threatens Denizlispor who should definitely be looking for some points here. Gazişehir are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Denizlispor form and stats
Denizlispor's results here at Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu in the Super Lig have been very modest with 4 victories, 2 draws and 8 defeats.
Denizlispor drew their last game, 2-2 away at Rizespor (placed 14th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Beşiktaş (1-5).
Opportunity lost for Denizlispor in the Rizespor match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
