Fenerbahce S.K will look to get back to winning ways as they travel to Gaziantep Stadium to face Gaziantep for their 19th matchday of the Super Lig, after a disappointing 3:0 loss at home to Galatasaray Istanbul.

Let's have a look at the latest Turkey Super Lig predictions between Gaziantep vs Fenerbahce S.K., probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Gaziantep

Form: DDLDD

Pressure has been a never-ending story for Erol Bulut, whose team fell to a 1:1 draw against İstanbulspor on the road, extending their winless streak in the Super Lig to seven games.

Prior to that, they were able to hold Istanbul Basaksehir to a 1:1 draw at home, as Alexandru Maxim's last-minute goal was crucial in seeing his side share the spoils at the final whistle. Unfortunately, that draw alone didn't help them, as it exacerbated their erratic home form.

Their home form has seen them without a win in the last five home matches, drawing four and losing one for four points in return, and this is rather the same stadium where they are currently on a two-match winning streak against their opponent, indicating that a glimmer of hope remains for them to improve their home situation by claiming a victory.

The Falcons are currently in 12th place with 19 points, level on points with 13th-place Ankaragucu, one point behind Fatih Karagumruk's 10th-place finish, and only two points ahead of the drop zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1

Guvenc; Kitsiou, Ersoy, Djilobodji, Pehlivan; Jevtovic, Merkel, Sagal, Soyalp, Veliu; Figueiredo

Fenerbahce S.K.

Form: LWWLL

Using the same predictable tactical approach in their derby game against Galatasaray Istanbul had disastrous consequences for manager Jorge Jesus, who saw his side suffer a disappointing loss at home, failing to score at least one goal to mark their presence as they walked out of the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium with nothing to show for it but a 3:0 defeat.

The Yellow Canaries have been performing below par in their last six matches, winning three and losing three for a total of nine points, and it appears that their promising start to the season has been ruined by those results, to say the least.

With their away form in the last seven matches being average this season, with two losses, a draw, and four wins, they'll want to add a convincing victory over a team that served them a 3:2 defeat last time out.

With 17 matches played, they are currently in second place with 35 points and are 7 points away from finishing first, but their position in the standings is threatened by the possibility of losing to second-placed Istanbul Basaksehir, who they lead by only 2 points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

Bayindir; Aziz, Henrique, Szalai; Osayi-Samuel, Crespo, Arao, Kadioglu; Valencia, King, Batshuayi
