5th position in the Super Lig table for İstanbul Başakşehir at present, a great showing. The match-going followers hope for more points as 9th-placed Gaziantep F.K. visit Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu.

Insights:
  • İstanbul Başakşehir have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Gaziantep F.K. have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Super Lig

It's quite the trip for Gaziantep F.K. when visiting Başakşehir as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Turkish Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Kasimpasa. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
