Galatasaray vs Gaziantep Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Galatasaray v Gaziantep
Türkiye – Super Lig
Date: Saturday, September 12, 2024
Starts at 18pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Türk Telekom Stadyumu.

The Lions have been one of the best teams in the competition in recent years and were champions last season.

However, contrary to expectations, they did not have a great campaign in 2019-20 (by their standards) and instead had to settle for a top-flight place. However, they managed to qualify for the Europa League.

As such, they are determined to make amends this year and will regard anything less than the Super Lig crown as a lesser achievement.

Moving forward, considering the competition is much fiercer this season in the Turkish top flight, Fatih Terim's men can't drop any points. They need to secure victory at all costs this weekend at the Türk Telekom Stadyumu.

Considering the fact that the Lions have a 100% undefeated record against their rivals, who had been promoted to the first division the previous season, Galatasaray should emerge victorious this weekend.

Galatasaray vs Gaziantep: Head to Head (h2h)

• Terim's charges have scored two or more goals in 100% of matches so far.
• They have a perfect unbeaten record against this rival over the years.
• 100% of matches at this stadium have had five or more goals.
• The last clash at this stadium ended with the teams sharing the victories, with the game ending 3-3.

Galatasaray vs Gaziantep: Prediction

The Lions are former competition champions and are easily one of the best teams in the league. They lost the title last year, but this time they are determined to regain the title.

They probably need to set a tone for their campaign early on, and a big win in their opening matchup would be a perfect start to the season.

It helps to be at home against a team that were promoted at the end of the 2018-19 season.

In addition, Terim men also have a 100% unbeaten record in h2h drops in the past, and have also scored two or more goals in each of these matches, regardless of a match.

And finally, it is important to note that they were undefeated in 17 of the 18 previous matches at home, and this only defeat was against one of the best teams in the league in 2019-20: Trabzonspor.

On the other hand, Marius Sumudica's men have not won in 14 of their 15 previous trips.

With all these observations in mind, expect a win for Galatasaray this weekend.
