Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Gazişehir Gaziantep & Kocaelispor face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Turkish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The hosts Gazişehir saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Super Lig. That game was an away game at Istanbul Basaksehir, so at least Gazişehir Gaziantep are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Kocaelispor have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
