Match preview: Gaziantep vs Hatay
Gaziantep and Hatay clash at Gaziantep Stadyumu in a fixture for the 31st round of the Turkish Super League. In their previous meeting in this league edition on 09-01-2024, Hatayspor triumphed with a 3-1 win at home. The head-to-head history at this venue shows a level playing field, with 3 draws and 1 win for each team in their last 5 encounters. Notably, their last face-off here ended in a 1-1 stalemate on 05-05-2024, with goals from Papy Djilobodji for Gaziantep and G. Kilama for Hatay. The home and away conditions merit particular attention; despite this match featuring the 9th and 18th placed teams in the overall standings, it boils down to a showdown between the 5th best performing team at home and the 19th as visitors.
Team analysis: Gaziantep
After registering 11 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses, the home team sits in 9th position with 38 points. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against Göztepe away from home, following a narrow defeat to Konyaspor (1-0) in their previous fixture. The team has shown a strong home advantage, gathering 30 points at their ground with 19 goals scored and just 7 conceded, compared to 8 points from away matches, where they have netted 18 times but conceded 30. In the league, Gaziantep has claimed 25 points from the last 30 available, achieving 8 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 loss in their last 10 home games. Typically, their matches at home reveal a tendency for low-scoring affairs, with the most common result at half-time being 0-0 in 5 out of 14 games. Although defensive stability has been weak, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, their attack remains prolific, scoring in 7 of those games. They’ve seen fewer than 3 goals in 9 of their last 14 home league matches. Moreover, their record shows that they turned around the scoreline only 4 times in the 16 instances they conceded the first goal. A notable trend is that 7 of their 19 home goals have been scored in the final minutes (76’–90′), while they have conceded 3 goals in the opening 15 minutes (0’–15′).
Gaziantep has demonstrated an effective attacking approach in the Super League, yet they have not won in their last two outings, notably drawing 1-1 with Göztepe, with Halil Dervişoğlu finding the net. Deploying an attacking 4-3-3 formation, their key offensive players include David Okereke and Deian Sorescu, known for their movement and clinical finishing. Okereke has been particularly influential as the leading scorer, with Kacper Kozlowski rounding off the attacking trio, thereby enhancing options in the final third. In midfield, Alexandru Maxim plays a pivotal role, guiding the tempo with keen vision and competent ball distribution, essential in breaking down opposition lines. However, the absence of Kacper Kozlowski and left winger Christopher Lungoyi, both ruled out through suspension, will be felt in their upcoming match.
Team analysis: Hatay
After 4 wins, 7 draws, and 17 losses, the visiting side is currently placed 18th, having amassed only 19 points. Their last fixture resulted in a 0-1 home defeat against Eyüpspor, following a comprehensive away loss to Kayserispor (0-5). This team has struggled as visitors, collecting a mere 5 points away compared to 14 points at home, where they have scored 16 goals but conceded 22, against just 13 scored and 30 conceded in away matches. In their league campaign, Hatay has gained just 4 points from a possible 30, with 1 win, 1 draw, and 8 losses in their last 10 away games. Defensive solidity has been a major concern, as they have shipped goals in 9 of the last 10 matches in this competition. Out of 28 games played this season, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and managed to equalise just once.
Hatayspor is in dire form in the Super League, having lost to EyüpSpor at home last round. With a tactical setup of 4-3-3, they rely heavily on the offensive prowess of Vincent Aboubakar, Bilal Boutobba, and Carlos Strandberg, with Aboubakar proving to be a crucial figure in their attacking play. In the midfield, Joelson Fernandes and Görkem Sağlam are responsible for orchestrating the play, demonstrating excellent match awareness and transforming movements into genuine opportunities for the forward line. Unfortunately, midfielder Lamine Diack is injured, and defensive midfielder Chandrel Massanga is suspended, both of whom will miss the next match.
