Fenerbahçe vs Gaziantep FK: Preview, Predictions, and Key Stats for Turkish Super Lig Clash

Fenerbahçe is set to host Gaziantep FK in the 14th round of the Turkish Super Lig on December 2, 2024, at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. The match promises to be an intriguing encounter given the current form and historical head-to-head records of the two teams.

Fenerbahçe, currently sitting in second place in the league standings, has been in impressive form. They recently extended their winning streak to four games with a 6-2 victory over Kayserispor. Additionally, their latest UEFA Europa League match saw Youssef En-Nesyri score a crucial late goal to secure a 2-1 win against Slavia Prague.

Gaziantep FK, on the other hand, is in 12th place and has shown mixed form. While they have only one defeat in their last six games (W3, D2), their away record is a concern, with four losses in their last five away matches. This inconsistency raises doubts about their ability to continue their recent run of form away from home.

Historically, Fenerbahçe has dominated this fixture, winning 9 out of the last 11 meetings against Gaziantep FK. At home, Fenerbahçe has been particularly strong, winning all six of their previous home matches against Gaziantep and scoring at least three goals in five of those games.

In terms of scoring trends, Fenerbahçe has a strong record of scoring in both halves of the game, doing so in 60% of their home matches. They also have a higher average of goals scored in the second half compared to Gaziantep FK.

The match is expected to be a high-scoring affair, given Fenerbahçe’s attacking prowess and Gaziantep’s recent defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in away games).
