A costly run for Gaziantep
Gaziantep FK need to stop a five-match losing streak when they face Kasımpaşa on Friday, with the home side 16th in the Süper Lig after 10 matches and just eight points to their name.
The gap to their visitors is stark: Kasımpaşa are fifth on 17 points, nine clear of Gaziantep FK. The hosts are also without a win in six league games, leaving little room for another setback as they try to steady their season.
Form points to a tough test
Gaziantep FK have taken two wins and two draws from 10 league matches, losing the other six. Their last five have all ended in defeat, with only two goals scored and 12 conceded. At home, they have drawn twice and lost three times in five matches, scoring three goals.
Kasımpaşa arrive in better shape. They have four wins, five draws and one defeat from 10 league games, and are unbeaten in three. Their last five brought two wins, two draws and a defeat, with eight goals scored and six conceded. Away from home, they have won three, drawn one and lost one.
Recent meetings favour the hosts
Gaziantep FK have won three of the last five meetings, with the other two drawn, and are unbeaten across that stretch. Their most recent encounter, in February, ended 2-1 to Gaziantep FK.
Absences could test both squads
Gaziantep FK will be without F. Bavuk, who has a hamstring injury, and N. Sangare, who has a back injury. S. Dursun, S. Hansen, A. Kizildag, U. Meleke, O. Ozcicek and K. Tobiasz are questionable.
Kasımpaşa are without K. Corekci and G. Frimpong. F. Diabate, A. Karapo, K. Mouanga and M. Ouanes are questionable.
Kasımpaşa bring the sharper attack
Kasımpaşa have scored 15 goals in 10 league matches, compared with Gaziantep FK’s nine, and have conceded 11 to the hosts’ 17. Their recent scoring form—eight goals in five games—offers a clear contrast with Gaziantep FK’s two over the same span. Yet the head-to-head record gives the home side some encouragement.
Our prediction
Gaziantep FK’s recent struggles make this a demanding test, but their record against Kasımpaşa and the home advantage point to a narrow response. PreviaXI’s model also leans towards the hosts, with a tight, low-scoring contest expected.
Gaziantep FK 1-0 Kasımpaşa
