Gaziantep vs İstanbul Başakşehir prediction, H2H & betting tips - November 23, 2024
On November 23, the 13th round of the Turkish Süper Lig will feature a match at the "Gaziantep Arena," where Gaziantep will face İstanbul Başakşehir. Here's a betting suggestion for goals, cards, or the match winner.
Gaziantep
The team secured promotion to the top division of Turkish football in 2019 and has managed to maintain a stable presence there, even without achieving remarkable success. Last season, GFK finished 11th, collecting 44 points—just four more than the relegated Ankaragücü.
This season, the team is performing at a similar level. They seemed to improve in November, with consecutive home victories over Konyaspor and Göztepe. However, their most recent match ended in a 1-3 defeat away to Hatayspor, where they offered little resistance.
İstanbul Başakşehir
The club didn't come close to replicating its historic championship success from 2020 last season. However, finishing fourth was still a strong outcome, matching its best result in recent years.
This season, even with excellent individual performances from Krzysztof Piątek (the Polish forward has already scored six goals in the Süper Lig), Başakşehir has significantly declined. Their struggles aren't limited to domestic play—despite a solid summer qualifying campaign, they lost to Rapid Wien and Celje in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage and only managed a draw against Copenhagen in their last match. Domestically, after winning four of their first six matches, the team has gone five games alternating between home draws and away losses.
Match Facts

Prediction for Gaziantep vs İstanbul Başakşehir
Bookmakers rate the chances of success as nearly even. However, given the visitors' prolonged slump, we suggest betting on a Gaziantep victory with a "zero" handicap (odds: 1.85).
