Team News

Gaziantep FK
Istanbulspor
  • Ilker Karakas, who wasn't expected to start here, is sidelined with a collarbone fracture.
  • Naoufel Khacef and Valmir Veliu's licences have been temporarily suspended as the number of foreign players in the Gaziantep squad exceed the FA's limit. They will not feature until mid-January 2024.
  • Okan Erdogan is manager Fatih Tekke's only injury concern. Simon Deli is expected to deputise for him.

Prediction

  • Gaziantepspor suffered their fifth loss in so many games as they were beaten 2-0 by Kayserispor last time out. This was Sumudica's first game in charge and the Romanian manager was happy with how their players were able to create chances. They will need to do better in front of goal though.
  • Istanbulspor lost 2-0 to Basaksehir last time out. As predicted, the managerial change at Basaksehir worked extremely well and Istanbulspor were outplayed from the first whistle to the last. Normally, Tekke's team can defend really well particularly away from home and against a Gaziantepspor side desperately trying to re-adjust to life in the Super Lig, they might be able to get a point.
