Team News

Galatasaray
Gaziantep FK
  • Kerem Demirbay will start in midfield as Sergio Oliveira is injured.
  • Davinson Sanchez is set to deputise for the injured Abdulkerim Bardakci.
  • Hakim Ziyech and Cedric Bakambu are away at AFCON 2023. Neither are regular starters, however.
  • Sacha Boey is rumoured to be on his way to Bayern Munchen. He didn't feature against Istanbulspor last time out and is unlikely to start here.
  • Max Gradel has been called up to Ivory Coast team for the Africa Cup of Nations, so Ilker Karakas will partner Denis Dragus, who served his suspension, in attack.
  • As Ogun Ozcicek is suspended and Bryan Acosta injured, Furkan Soyalp and Janio Bikel, who has returned from AFCON, is expected to start in midfield.
  • Lazar Markovic is likely to deputise for the suspended Mustafa Eskihellac.
  • Ulas Zengin, who wasn't expected to start here, is injured.

Prediction

  • Galatasaray were 3-1 winners against Istanbulspor last time out. Although they had a scare at the very early stages of the game, Buruk's men took control and claimed a deserved win in the end. The only worry Buruk has at the moment is the potential departure of Boey, who is a key figure in this team.
  • Gaziantepspor shared the spoils with Konyaspor in a 1-1 draw last time out. Both teams were set up quite conservatively and draw was the fair result. Sumudica will unashamedly park the bus here, but Gala boast the quality to find a way through that defensive wall.
