In this Turkish Super Lig clash between Gaziantep and Istanbul Basaksehir, goals look likely.
Gaziantep have seen 21 of their 33 league matches go over the total this season, a 64% rate. At home, 9 of their 16 games have gone over, a 56% rate. Their matches are never short of goals, but their own net is rarely secure either — they have conceded 56 goals in 33 matches, an average of 1.7 per game. In their last 10 home matches, seven have produced more than 2.5 total goals.
Basaksehir are also an attack-minded side, scoring 56 goals in 33 matches, including 23 in 16 away games. Four of their last six away matches have featured more than three total goals. In the most recent meeting between the two sides, Basaksehir won 5-1 at home, with six goals in total.
Gaziantep will miss Dragus up front, which has an impact on their attack, but Basaksehir’s defensive leader Duarte is also out injured. Both defenses are not at full strength, while the attacking firepower remains intact. At Kalyon Stadium in the Turkish Super Lig tonight, this is unlikely to be a quiet contest.
