Team News

Gaziantep FK
Kayserispor
  • Max Gradel has been called up to Ivory Coast team for the Africa Cup of Nations, so Lazar Markovic will partner Denis Dragus in attack.
  • Ertugrul Ersoy will deputise for the injured Nicolas Nkoulou.
  • Alexandru Maxim will start in midfield as Marko Jevtovic is suspended.
  • Ulas Zengin, who wasn't expected to start here, is injured.
  • Ogun Ozcicek and Mustafa Eskihallac have served their suspensions and will return to the starting lineup.
  • Dimitrios Kolovetsios is expected to start at centre-back as Majid Hosseini is with the Iran national team at the Asian Cup and Julian Jeanvier is with Guinea at AFCON.
  • Gokhan Sazdagi is set to lead the attack as Stephane Bahoken is also nursing an injury.
  • Aylton Boa Morte will start on the left wing as Carlos Mane is injured.
  • Anthony Uzodimma, who wasn't expected to start here, is injured.

Prediction

  • Gaziantep were beaten 2-1 by Galatasaray last time out. They were 1-0 up but defended extremely deep, allowed Gala to control possession, and deserved to lose in the end. Against Kayserispor, with two of his important midfielders in Eskihallac and Ozcicek back in the starting XI, Sumudica will be more adventurous.
  • Kayserispor managed to hold Antalyaspor to a draw last time out. This was a decent start by Yılmaz who was brought in after Ucar was sacked by the board. Yılmaz had a horrible short spell at Besiktas and lacks experience which is likely to show against a very intelligent manager like Sumudica.
