Riad Bajić has been the most effective weapon for Giresunspor lately. The attacker has netted 3 goals in his last five matches. Emiliano Viviano and Houssam Ghacha are the top scorers for Antalyaspor in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
