Both Gazişehir Gaziantep and Altay are thirsting for points in this fixture, in spite of the away team carrying a 7 point lead so far.

Insights:
  • Gazişehir Gaziantep have the fewest conceded goals (0) at home in Super Lig
  • Altay have the most points from losing position (6) in Super Lig

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Altay have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Gazişehir Gaziantep form and stats

Gazişehir Gaziantep have collected seven points from their first three Super Lig games here at Gaziantep Stadyumu, a promising start. Two home wins in a row for Gazişehir Gaziantep bring valid hopes of a third.

In their previous game, the manager E. Bulut led his Gazişehir to a defeat in the Super Lig match away at Adana Demirspor. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Gaziantep Stadyumu. Gazişehir Gaziantep were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Oğuz Ceylan, defender, was given a rating of 7.13/10 in that game, top of the team. Ceylan hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

Before that, Gazişehir Gaziantep had a home game versus Istanbul Basaksehir which ended with a victory 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Gazişehir have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn five and lost zero.

Gazişehir Gaziantep are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Defensively Gazişehir have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (0 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
