- Competition: Super Lig
- Date: 3rd February 2025
- Kick-off: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
- Venue: Gaziantep Stadium
Galatasaray will be looking to return to winnings after the defeat to Ajax in Europe last time out when they play Gaziantep away from home on Monday evening.
Gaziantep have been hard to beat in recent weeks. The hosts travelled to Samsunspor a week ago on a six-match unbeaten run. Selçuk İnan's men saw that run come to an end with a 2-1 defeat at the Samsun 19 May Stadium, where they had just over 30% of the possession. The Falcons will be eager to respond on Monday and will take heart from the fact that 21 of their 26 points in the Turkish top flight this season have come at home.
Galatasaray meanwhile are looking to bounce back from the 2:1 defeat to Ajax in the Europa League last time out. That defeat meant that Oshimen and Co will have to go through the play-offs to reach the knockout stages of the competition. Domestically, Okan Buruk's side sit comfortably at the top of the Süper Lig, six points clear of second-placed Galatasaray, but the fact that they have won just two of their last five away games is a cause for concern.
Gaziantep vs Galatasaray Betting Tips: Galatasaray to win
Galatasaray may have had their problems away from home over the last couple of weeks but most of those games were in Europe. Okan Buruk’s men boast seven wins from their eight away games in the Super Lig this season and kept a clean sheet in as many games.
Gaziantep also have a terrible record against Galatasaray. The hosts lost each of their last nine Super Lig meetings with the Yellow-Reds and also shipped 2+ goals in as many games.
