Basaksehir vs Gaziantepspor Prediction & Betting tips
Copenhagen is the new destination for Basaksehir. The Europa League adventure continues for the fourth top club from Istanbul. Okan Buruk’s team turned 1: 3 from the first leg and won 4: 1 after extra time in the second leg. Surprisingly, because Basaksehir was dominated by Sporting Lisbon in the 1-3 draw just a week earlier.
How far the Basaksehir EL fairy tale will go will show in the coming weeks. On Monday evening, Basaksehir rounded off the 24th matchday in the Süper Lig with the home game against Gaziantep. To defend the championship lead under their own steam for the time being, a home win for the Buruk team is mandatory on this matchday.
Basaksehir recently won four home games in a row, scoring 13 goals. In the current constitution, Basaksehir’s favorite role against Gaziantep is therefore hardly surprising. A tip on the home side is definitely recommended for the latest home series.
Gaziantep’s guests are currently in the no man’s land in the Süper Lig table. The point cushion on the relegation places is pleasant; However, the gap to the international starting positions is far too big.

Basaksehir:
Basaksehir’s knockout stage in the Europa League was undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises in the past week. Sporting Lisbon were clearly the better team in the first leg and dominated at will. With the 1: 3 Basaksehir got off lightly in Lisbon. After the Portuguese conception of power, a comeback for the Turkish representative did not seem to be feasible.
However, Okan Buruk’s team showed a passionate performance and made it into extra time with a last-minute goal – in the Turkish style – from Edin Visca. There was also at the very last minute the match winner (4: 1) from Visca to penalty.
In the round of 16 there is now comparatively luck for Basaksehir. With Copenhagen, Okan Buruk’s team catches an opponent who can be beaten. As the odds make clear to the bookmakers, the chances of progressing are 50:50.
Basaksehir is on a championship course in the Süper Lig. As in previous years, the fourth top club from Istanbul is stirring up the league. Basaksehir repeatedly buckled in the second half of the season and gambled away the title coup – but at that time under the ex-coach Abdullah Avci.
Okan Buruk set the championship as the primary goal in the run-up to the season. As the season so far shows, the goal set by the vice-champion of the previous year is quite justified. Basaksehir have only lost three games this season. In front of their home crowd, Buruk’s team has been unbeaten for eleven home games in the Süper Lig.
Most recently, Basaksehir won four home games in a row, scoring 13 goals. It is quite possible that this home trend will continue on Monday evening. Buruk only has to do without the injured Robinho on Monday evening.
Gaziantep:
It is probably only a matter of time before Gaziantep also mathematically seals the relegation in the Süper Lig. The newcomer – for the first time in the club’s history – has played an excellent season so far and deserves to be in the middle of the table in the Süper Lig. There is therefore no fear of relegation or Europa League euphoria in the Turkish pistachio city.
The gap to the international starting positions is far too big. In addition, with numerous competitors in the top third of the table, there is no realistic chance of placing among the top four teams in the Süper Lig. Nevertheless, it is important to get the maximum points by the end of the season – at least that is how Marius Sumudica’s route.
The Romanian coach had meanwhile become the target of the fans. According to Turkish media reports, Sumudica flirted with a move back home, which, of course, was understandably not well received by the supporters of the black and red. The interim crisis with the fans was overcome.
The handwriting of Marius Sumudica can be clearly read at Gaziantep FK. The Romanian put his game system on the new team and mainly relies on the offensive. As the goal difference of 34:36 shows, goals in the games with Gaziantep participation were not uncommon. The strong offensive compensated for weak defensive performances over long stretches of the season.
Whether it stays that way will be shown in the course of the second half of the season. Last week, a last minute goal from Diarra gave the Göztepe a strong point. For the eighth time this season, the Black-Reds scored a goal in the final quarter of an hour – the best in the Süper Lig!
Marius Sumudica is unlikely to change anything in his game system in the current table situation. Offensive guests can therefore be expected on Monday evening. Changes in the starting eleven are not expected.
