Command Analysis

Gaziantep FK

Current form
Gaziantep have been extremely unstable this season and are only in 13th place in the Turkish Super League. The club is only three points clear of the relegation zone, so staying in the league is far from guaranteed. In the last home matches of the championship, the hosts managed to beat Basaksehir (3:0) and Rizespor (1:0), and in the cup they beat Batman Petrolspor (1:0) and Orduspor (2:0). At the same time, in away matches, the team from Gaziantep lost to Fenerbahce (1:3) and Alanyaspor (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Sokratis Dioudis and Dejan Sorescu on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won its last six home matches
- None of the hosts' last nine matches have ended in a draw
Estimated line-up: Burak Bozan - Eskichellah, Ersoy, Viana, Saborit - Daubin, Ndiaye, Kozlovsky, Lungoyi - Maxim - Kodro.

Antalyaspor

Current form
Antalyaspor remains a solid mid-table team in the Turkish Super League and is in the top eight of the elite division. In 15 matches, the club from the resort town of Antalya has earned 21 points and remains six points away from the European Cup zone. However, the distance to the relegation zone is the same. If the visitors continue to play as they have in recent matches, the club will not be in danger of surviving - the team of Fenerbahce legend Alex managed to beat Bodrumspor (3:2), Sivasspor (2:1) and Kayserispor (2:0). In the cup matches, the visitors beat Kucukcekmece (4:1) and Musspor (2:1, s.p.).
Disqualifications and injuries
Guraj Vural will not play due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not suffered a single defeat in its last six matches.
- The Antalya club has suffered only one defeat in its last four away matches.
Tentative line-up: Pirich - Sari, Yilmaz, Tallison - van de Streek, Kaluzinsky, Yesilyurt, Petrusenko, Dikmen - Larsson, Gaich
Trends
Bet Exact score 1:0
The hosts have won two of their last three games by that score.
8.50Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in the last four matches of the hosts
2.08Bet Number 1 in the final score
The pattern has worked in four of the visitors' last five matches
1.64Tip and bets
The teams have been showing excellent results lately and the main reason for their success is their reliable defense. The hosts have not conceded a single goal in their last four home matches and can continue this streak in the match against Antalyaspor. The visitors themselves do not allow their opponents to run wild in attack either. In each of the last three face-to-face matches, no more than one goal was scored, we believe that this time the confrontation will not be productive either.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on the outcome
The hosts show impeccable play in home matches. The club managed to win six victories in a row at their stadium, and the statistics in face-to-face matches are approximately the same - three home victories in a row against Antalyaspor and zero defeats since 2009. We think that now Gaziantep will be able to please its fans with a victory.
Our forecast is Gaziantep victory in 2.20
Bet on corners
Judging by our description, we can conclude that the game should not be rich in over-all totals. That is why we will bet on the fact that the opponents will not make many corners for both of them.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.85
