A slide that leaves Gaziantep three points adrift
Gaziantep FK sit 14th of 18 in the Süper Lig with eight points from eight matches, three behind Erzurumspor FK in 11th. The gap is not yet dramatic, but the pattern is worrying. Their last three league games have all ended in defeat, and every week without a win adds to the pressure on the club and its supporters.
Form: goals at both ends
Gaziantep have scored five goals in their last five matches but conceded nine, and their home record shows the same problem. In four games at the Gaziantep Stadyumu they have drawn twice, lost twice and scored only two goals.
Erzurumspor have been the more solid side recently, conceding just three in their last five. They have not been prolific, though. Their one away goal this season has come in four trips, and they have drawn two and lost two on the road.
Head-to-head: Gaziantep without a win
Erzurumspor hold the advantage in recent meetings. In the last five between the clubs, which stretch back to 2017, Erzurumspor have won twice and drawn three times. Gaziantep have not beaten them in that run, including a 2-3 defeat at home in April 2021.
Team news
Gaziantep will be without F. Bavuk, who is sidelined by a hamstring injury, and N. Sangare, who is out with a back problem.
Our prediction
PreviaXI’s model favours the home side, and the picture on the pitch supports that. Gaziantep have the better goal difference and the advantage of their own ground, while Erzurumspor have scored sparingly away from home. The game may be tight and cagey, with the hosts’ pressure likely to be decisive in a low-scoring contest.
