Gaziantep FK vs Fenerbahce Preview – Match Preview
Gaziantep have been one of the biggest surprise teams in the Super Lig this season. They have earned 17 points in nine matches and are currently in 4th place.
Burak Yilmaz’s team began September with a 2-0 home win over Kocaelispor, then drew back-to-back matches against Trabzonspor (1-1) and Samsunspor (2-2).
Their form in October has been excellent, winning 2-0 away against Karagumruk and 3-2 at home against Antalyaspor last weekend.
Midfielder Alexandru Maxim has been their main player this season, with five assists and two goals in nine league matches.
Fenerbahce have faced several issues in the Super Lig this season. They have won only five of their nine matches, drawing the other four, and are currently 3rd in the table, six points behind leaders Galatasaray.
They started October with a 0-0 draw against Samsunspor but bounced back last weekend with a 2-1 home win over Fatih Karagumruk, thanks to first-half goals from Talisca and Marco Asensio.
In Europe, Fenerbahce are doing better. They recently beat Stuttgart 1-0 in the Europa League, with Kerem Akturkoglu scoring from a penalty in the 34th minute. It was their second consecutive win in the competition, after defeating Nice 2-1 earlier this month.
