Season ticket holders at Eryaman Stadyumu haven't seen too many victories this season, with Genclerbirligi languishing in the 13th position so far. The guesting Gazisehir Gaziantep will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
The hosts Gençlerbirliği saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Super Lig. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Rizespor.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
