Caykur Rizespor, Recent FormCaykur Rizespor boss İlhan Palut will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 6-2 away mauling from Galatasaray. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Galatasaray who had 14 attempts and 10 on target.
Palut will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 9 clean sheets.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Gaziantep, Recent FormIn their last fixture against Besiktas, Gaziantep managed a 2-0 home victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Besiktas, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Gaziantep recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Gaziantep, Denis Drăguş will be looking to add more goals against Caykur Rizespor in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-0 win for Gaziantep.
Gaziantep have managed to keep a clean sheet against Rizespor in each of their previous 3 meetings. Rizespor have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Gaziantep.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Gaziantep has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Rizespor in 3 games.
Alexandru Maxim is on a hot scoring streak against Rizespor, having scored in each of Gaziantep's last 0 meetings with them.
With only Benhur Keser (Hamstring) and Azubuike Okechukwu (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, İlhan Palut will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Gaziantep manager Marius Şumudică ahead of this clash, with Bryan Acosta (Muscle) missing out, which gives Şumudică a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
