Gaziantep vs Fenerbahçe prediction and betting tips on February 7, 2024
Presenting to our esteemed readers an exclusive prediction for the Gaziantep – Fenerbahçe match, where adversaries will clash in the round of 16 of the Turkish Cup.
Gaziantep
This season, Gaziantep appears to be struggling, positioned a challenging 18th in the league standings, perilously close to the relegation zone, trailing the 16th place by a mere two points. Their latest fixture concluded in a draw at home against one of their direct competitors, Kayserispor, with a scoreline of 1-1. Consequently, their winless streak in the Turkish Süper Lig has stretched to seven matches, yielding only 5 points during this period. With the primary objective being to secure their place in the elite division, aspirations for other tournaments seem to be dwindling.
Fenerbahçe
The "Canaries" are fervently contending for the championship this season, with Galatasaray being their sole competitor, sharing the top spot with them, boasting a considerable 24-point lead over the third-place team. In the recent round, Fenerbahçe triumphed over Antalyaspor away from home with a convincing 2-0 victory. Given these circumstances, it's prudent to vie for the "golden double" domestically, although the possibility of ending the season without silverware remains. The team is in splendid form and should progress to the next round.
