Prediction

  • Malatyaspor lost 3-0 to fellow relegation contenders Rizespor last time out. The game wasn't as one-sided as the scoreline suggests though. Malatyaspor did create more than a handful of their own chances but let down by their poor finishing. To survive, they have to beat Gaziantep and hope for favourable results from other fixtures. Expect an uncharacteristically attacking display from Karaman's men.
  • Gaziantepspor drew 2-2 with an in-form Kasimpasa side last time out. Sumudica has done a great job at the club when at the start of the season many expected them to go down. The Romanian manager is rumoured to be in discussions with Trabzonspor about taking over for next season. His biggest problem here will be ensuring his side is as focused as their opponents.
  • Malatyaspor have too much to lose if they can't get three points. A narrow home win is likely.
