Fenerbahce vs Gaziantep Prediction & Betting tips
Spot on! The “canaries” are in the limelight on Monday night and have to prove their nerves at the season opener. The pressure in the new Süper Lig season is immense, especially since the historically bad first round in the past year is not forgotten so quickly. For the season opener, the “canaries” from Istanbul but at least benefit from the home advantage and meet the promoted from Gaziantep.
The guests from the Anatolian city in the southeastern part of Turkey have made past season with a sensational final sprint the rise over the second division playoffs. In the summer there was a big change at Gazisehir Gaziantep. Personnel changes were not only in the squad, but also on the coaching position.
Marius Sumudica takes on the promoted and is confident to establish his team as Süper Lig team. The Romanian coach has already been able to recharge his batteries in his own home country and has also been hired by Kayserispor in the Süper Lig. In the away game against Fenerbahce Gaziantep is according to odds the big underdog.
The “canaries” want to back home with a home win but back and compete in the title race in the Süper Lig. Under coach Ersun Yanal, Fenerbahce has not lost a single home game in the Süper Lig this calendar year. On Monday night Fenerbahce against Gaziantep a forecast on the home side quite obvious.
Fenerbahce:
Already in the disastrous last season showed Fenerbahce a sensational crowd cut and could rely on the fanatical followers. In the first home game of the new season, coach Ersun Yanal will again be able to rely on the twelfth man in the back.
So far, Fenerbahce under Ersun Yanal has lost no home game in the Süper Lig this calendar year. The mixed performances on foreign terrain were compensated in the second half with convincing performances at home. Anyway, a lot has changed at Fenerbahce since the coaching of Ersun Yanal. Above all, Yanal was able to boost the offensive game of the “canaries”.
With 28 goals in the second half of the season, there was the fourth best offensive in the Süper Lig. Offensive, there was also plenty of reinforcement in the summer. In addition to the Bremen-based Max Kruse, there are promising players joining Allahyar Sayyadmanesh, Vedat Muriqi, Garry Rodrigues and Deniz Türüc. Recently, Fenerbahce has also secured the services of Zanka (Huddersfield).
In the summer preparation Fenerbahce remained last six games in series winless. The good approaches from the offensive could not complete the defensive. Again and again there were goals for the not yet recorded defense of the “Canaries”. Due to the strong rotation of Yanal but the winless preparation games were to cope.
For the season opener, it is the home advantage to take advantage. Ersun Yanal will remain true to his offensive tactics. If Fenerbahce can maintain the defensive stability, a home win on Monday evening is pure routine.
Gaziantep:
It took 27 years for the Süper Lig-Dino from Gaziantep to relegate to the second Turkish league. Gaziantepspor was one of the most traditional clubs in the Süper Lig, but also had to go after the descent from the Süper Lig but also the transition to the third division. In the Anatolian city, however, another team is currently thriving and plans to become Gaziantepspor’s new figurehead: Gazisehir Gaziantep.
The first Süper Lig rise of the club history was completed recently. Gazisehir Gaziantep wants to establish itself as the Süper Lig team this season. With a sensational season final spurt it had the second division over the playoffs still made it into the highest Turkish league. However, successful coach Altiparmak had to vacate his chair and make room for the new coach Marius Sumudica.
For the Romanian coach, the Süper Lig is no foreign territory. Already in 2017/18 Sumudica Süper was Lig-Trainer. In his commitment to Kayserispor Sumudica took in the first round, a strong point yield, but drowned in the second half and had to fight mainly with his miserable record against the traditional clubs.
A lot has changed in the Gaziantep squad during the big upheaval in the summer. The coaching for Sumudica is therefore anything but easy, especially since his team in the preparation knew hardly convincing. How the game will harmonize among the numerous legionnaires, is not really foreseeable. The strategy of a big upheaval after the promotion season holds a great risk, which now has to be mastered for Sumudica.
The Gaziantep coach will be able to draw on the full on Friday evening. Due to the strong rotation in the test matches is not yet clear which starting eleven the Romanian coach will begin in Istanbul. At Fenerbahce against Gaziantep, a tip is rewarded with sensational odds.
