Gaziantep vs Besiktas Prediction: Expecting A One-sided Affair In Favor Of The Away Team

Gaziantep will welcome Besiktas to Gaziantep Stadium in the eighth round of the Turkish Super Lig. 

Let's have a look at the latest Turkish Super Lig predictions between Gaziantep vs. Besiktas, probable lineups, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Gaziantep

Form: LDLLL

Gaziantep made a promising start to the season, recording a 1-0 win over the newly promoted outfit Bodrum. Since that win, they've been on a series of unconvincing performances that currently leave them languishing in the relegation zone. 

In their most recent match, they suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat against Eyupspor. This extended their winless run in the league to five games (L4, D1) and will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways against a team they've struggled against in past meetings. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-1-1

Dioudis; Artan, Kizildag, Viana, Saborit; Sorescu, Soyalp, Ndiaye, Lungoyi; Maxim; Okereke

Besiktas

Form: WWDWW

The Black Eagles were denied their maiden win in the UEFA Europa League, losing 3-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday. They have now suffered back-to-back defeats in this competition, accounting for their 4-0 thrashing against Ajax Amsterdam on match day one.

Head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be seeking a response from his team in the league where they've met expectations and are in contention for the title. After a 1-1 draw against Trabzonspor on September 15th, they've secured back-to-back wins against Eyupspor (2-1) and most recently Kayserispor (0-3), leaving them in third place and three points behind the top spot.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gunok; Topcu, Paulista, Uduokhai, Mario; Fernandes, Ndour; Rashica, Muci, Silva; Immobile
