In the last encounter between these teams in this competition, on August 8, 2025, Galatasaray won away (0-3). The recent head-to-head record favors the home team, who has won 7 out of their last 8 matches, losing only once.

Galatasaray Analysis

The home team is currently in 1st place, with 42 points from 13 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. In their penultimate match, they won away against Antalyaspor (1-4). In their last match, they achieved a home victory over Kasımpaşa (3-0). In their most recent outing, in the Fortis Türkiye Kupası, they won against Fethiyespor (1-2) away.

They have not lost at home for 9 games in this competition. The team has allowed goals to their opponents in 8 of their last 10 matches, showing a lack of defensive solidity, although their attack has been scoring regularly, finding the net in 8 of their last 10 matches in this competition. In their home games, there is a tendency for goals, as 7 out of 9 have ended with more than 2.5 goals on the scoreboard. In 17 matches in this competition, they conceded the first goal 4 times but managed to turn the score around in 2 instances.

Galatasaray started 2026 early, and in their last match, they defeated Fethiyespor in the Turkish Cup away by 1-2, with goals from Abdülkerim Bardakcı and Barış Alper Yılmaz. In the Super League, they continue to lead the table and recently won against Kasımpaşa at home (3-0), with goals from Yunus Akgün, Mauro Icardi, and Gabriel Sara. The team is primarily organized in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mauro Icardi as the most advanced and primary goal-scorer, remaining at the top of the scoring charts. In a more withdrawn role, Leroy Sané, Barış Alper Yılmaz, and Yunus Akgün form a trio responsible for interior approaches and coordinated attacks into the half-spaces, applying constant pressure in the attacking phase and offering multiple options to breach the opponent’s area. Key absences for the next match include midfielder Lucas Torreira, who is suspended, and striker Victor Osimhen, who is participating in the AFCON with Nigeria.

Gaziantep Analysis

After 6 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, the visiting team is in 9th place, having earned 23 points. In their last match, they lost to İstanbul Başakşehir away (5-1), following a previous home loss against Göztepe (0-1). The team arrives at this match after a home victory over Kocaelispor (1-0). In the league, Gaziantep has claimed 12 points out of 24 possible, with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 8 away games. The team has allowed goals to their opponents in 7 of the last 10 matches, reflecting a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has been scoring consistently, finding the net in 7 of their last 10 games in this competition. In 17 matches in this competition, they have only managed to turn around the score once in 8 instances where they conceded the first goal.

Gaziantep started 2026 with a victory over Kocaelispor in the Turkish Cup at home by 1-0, with a goal from Christopher Lungoyi. In the Super League, they have been scoring goals but are not performing well overall; in the last round, they lost away to Başakşehir (5-1), with their goal scored by Drissa Camara. The team has found balance primarily in a 4-4-2 formation, positioning Mohamed Bayo and Alexandru Maxim as the duo responsible for occupying the advanced zones and pressuring the opposing defense. Just behind them, Deian Sorescu, Drissa Camara, Luis Pérez, and Christopher Lungoyi form a very mobile midfield, with constant height alternations, off-the-ball infiltrations, and quick corridor switches, dynamics that expand the playing field, accelerate offensive progression, and keep the team advancing as a unit, maintaining volume, intensity, and frequent occupation of the final third. Key absences for the upcoming match include defender Tayyip Talha Sanuç, left-back Kévin Rodrigues, and midfielder Drissa Camara, all suspended.
