- Competition: Super Lig
- Date: Saturday, 2nd December, 2024
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
- Venue: Ulker Stadium Şükrü Saracoğlu (Istanbul)
Over the Summer, Fenerbahce invested a lot of money and added high-profile players, including one of the world's best coaches, Jose Mourinho. Last year, they managed to win the Cup but finished second in the Super Liga - three points behind Galatasaray. This season, they are once again trailing behind Galatasaray and are, at this moment, five points away from the top spot. Still, as the season progresses, they are looking better and better and are currently on a four-game winning streak. In the Europa League, they are doing OK and are on the right path to securing the next stage of the competition.
Since they arrived at the Super Lig in 2019/20, Gaziantep have been mostly a mid-table team in the following seasons. This season, they had an atrocious start and spent most part of the season in or around the relegation zone. However, they have been good lately, winning nine points in the last four games and moving to 11th place. Yet, since they are only four points away from the danger zone, they will have to continue winning points in order to stay in the safe zone. But winning points in the upcoming game against Fener will definitely be a challenge.
Fenerbahce vs Gaziantep pick: Fenerbahce to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread
Fenerbahce are in excellent form. They won four league games in a row while scoring an incredible amount of 15 goals - 3.75 per game. They also covered the -1.5 AH spread in three out of those four matches. Generally, they are (expectedly) winning most games in the league and have won nine of 12 matches in Super Lig - 75%.
Meanwhile, Gaziantep are in good form, with three wins in the last four games. Still, all of those wins were at home. Away from it, they have been atrocious, winning just one point in the last five matches while allowing two or more goals every time.
In the previous h2h games, Fenerbahce won six times in a row.
Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that Fenerbahce will secure a comfortable home win.

Fenerbahce team news
One of the team's key players, Dusan Tadic, suffered an injury in the previous game against Slavia Prague and had to leave the field in the stoppage time. While the injury seems to be minor, we do not believe we will see him in the starting lineup against Gaziantep.
Jayden Oosterwolde and Çağlar Söyüncü who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined, while Sofyan Amrabat and Mert Hakan Yandas are questionable with illnesses.

Gaziantep team news
Central defender Bruno Viana served his suspension in the previous game after receiving a red card against Hatayaspor. We should see him back in the starting lineup.
Meanwhile, Godfrey Stephen, who missed almost the entire season with injury, should remain sidelined. According to Turkish media, he is close to making a return, but we shouldn't expect him to be on the field for at least one or two weeks.
