Team News

Gaziantep FK
Fenerbahce
  • Janio Bikel and Max Gradel have been called up to the Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast teams for the Africa Cup of Nations. Marko Jevtovic and Alexandru Maxim are expected to start in their absence.
  • Ulas Zengin, who wasn't expected to start here, is injured.
  • Papy Djilobodji has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • Serdar Aziz and Jayden Oosterwolde are expected to start at center back as Rodrigo Becao is injured and Alexander Djiku is at AFCON 2023 with the Ghanian national team.
  • Nigerian right back Bright Osayi-Samuel is also at AFCON, meaning Mert Muldur will start.
  • Miha Zajc, Miguel Crespo, and Luan Peres are injured but none were expected to start.
  • New arrival Leonardo Bonucci is not expected to make his debut here.

Prediction

  • Gaziantepspor shared points with Hatayspor in a goalless draw last time out. Nita had an amazing performance in goal and once again Sumudica's saviour. The Romanian manager's teams usually defend well but this Gaziantepspor concede too many chances even when they defend deep and in numbers. There is not a shred of doubt that Sumudica will park the bus here and look for ways to frustrate the high-flying Canaries.
  • Fenerbahce destroyed Konyaspor 7-1 last time out. This was a relentless and at times majestic performance by Kartal's men. The arrival of Bonucci, although the Italian doesn't have the same fresh legs he used to, will add strength and at points much-needed experience to Fenerbahce's defence. Even if Gaziantep manage to keep Fenerbahce's attacking lineup at bay for a while, Kartal has enough impact players on the bench to secure another win here.
