Team News

Gaziantep FK
Sivasspor
  • Luka Stankovski is expected to deputise for the suspended Alexandru Maxim.
  • Ilker Karakas, who wasn't expected to start here, is sidelined with a collarbone fracture.
  • Manager Servet Cetin has a full squad available to pick from.
  • Achilleas Poungouras is poised to make his debut here.

Prediction

  • Gaziantepspor were beaten 2-1 by Fenerbahce last time out. However, the scoreline could have been embarrassing for Gaziantep had their hosts not been so wasteful. Going forward, they looked clueless and in general they didn't seem to have any game plan other than defending in numbers and hoof the ball forward. Gunes' spell at the south-eastern club might not last very long if things do not improve drastically.
  • Sivasspor shared points with Samsunspor in a 1-1 draw last time out. Unsurprisingly, it was the newly promoted Samsun side that looked more threatening but considering the number of key players Sivasspor lost in the transfer market, Cetin's side performed much better than expected.
  • This is Gaziantep's first home game since the earthquake hit the region in late February. It will be an emotionally charged atmosphere but the experiences Sivas side boast enough quality to get at least a point here.
