Gaziantepspor suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Kasimpasa last time out. This was a very a-typical Sumudica performance as Gaziantep conceded nearly two dozen chances. The Romanian manager will expect more from his defence here. Expect them to defend very deep and in numbers.
Trabzonspor suffered a surprising 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Kayserispor last time out. Avci's team, as usual, controlled possession but was unable to create clear-cut chances. This fruitless possession football has been a trademark of the experienced manager and against a Gaziantep side that normally defend very well at home, it might cost Trabzonspor more points.
