Gaziantep hosts Galatasaray in round 22 of the Turkish Super League. The match will be played on Friday, January 29th at Gaziantep Stadyumu (Gaziantep)
Gaziantep is one of the main discoveries of this season. However, GFK was not bad in the previous season either. After appearing in the elite Turkish division, the club immediately took 8th place there. In the new draw, Gaziantep had a rather difficult start (defeat and four draws in a row), but then it managed to significantly improve its results. This allowed the team to rise to the quartet of leaders. The streak was interrupted by a defeat to Sivasspor, and the bosses immediately fired Romanian mentor Simudike. Ricardo Sa Pinto replaced him, but so far, the bet on the Portuguese does not justify itself. He was able to debut with a win over Kayserispor, but it was followed by a 0-3 defeat to Rizespor and a 1-1 home draw with Hatayspor.

Galatasaray is only 3rd now. Of course, this result is better than in the disastrous last season. But from such a grandee, everyone is expecting only a fight for the champion’s title. The Lions have had certain problems – they beat Yeni Malatyaspor in the cup only in a penalty shootout and then lost to Besiktas in the derby. But the remaining three Super League matches brought victories, and Galatasaray twice scored six goals against its opponents. Fatih Terim counts on such stars as Ryan Babel, Radamel Falcao, and Sofiane Feghouli. Truth be told, none of them is the top scorer of this glorious team. It is Mbaye Diagne, who returned from Bruges and hammered 9 goals in 15 matches (but four of them were scored from the penalty spot). Younes Belhanda is actively helping him. The 30-year-old Moroccan, who played a lot in Dynamo Kyiv, has already scored six goals and made two assists.
After Gaziantep was promoted to the elite division, there were three meetings between these clubs. Galatasaray won twice, and there was a 3-3 draw in Istanbul last June. Now Gaziantep is gradually slowing down, and Sa Pinto is hardly ready to stop this process. Galatasaray should earn three points again.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win
