On the 18th of January, Gazişehir Gaziantep plays host to Yeni Malatyaspor in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Super Lig teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 2 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Gazişehir Gaziantep is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Beşiktaş. Michy Batshuayi scored the first goal for Beşiktaş in the 67th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Gazişehir Gaziantep couldn’t manage to score, and Beşiktaş took the shutout win. Gazişehir Gaziantep should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while 20th placed Yeni Malatyaspor is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Göztepe. Mustafa Eskihellaç struck first for Yeni Malatyaspor in the 7th minute, but Berkan Emir got the equalizer for Göztepe in the 15th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 73rd minute on a goal by Lourency. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 3 points in their last 10 matches.
On Aug 28th, Yeni Malatyaspor hosted Gazişehir Gaziantep at the Novi Gradski Stadion in their last match together. Yeni Malatyaspor won by a score of 2 to 0. Adem Büyük struck first for Yeni Malatyaspor in the 45th minute on a feed from Rayane Aabid, then Benjamin Tetteh added another in the 68th minute on a feed from Adem Büyük In the end, Gazişehir Gaziantep couldn’t muster any offence and Yeni Malatyaspor ran away with the shutout win.
Adem Büyük and Mounir Chouiar are the top scorers for Yeni Malatyaspor in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Furkan Soyalp has been the most effective weapon for Gazişehir Gaziantep lately. The Turkish midfielder has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches
Erol Bulut’s squad will be without Nouha Dicko, Paweł Olkowski, Oğuz Ceylan, Yasin Pehlivan, Jefferson, Ángelo Sagal and Mirza Cihan, while Yeni Malatyaspor will be without Adem Büyük and Nuri Aydin.
