Gaziantep vs Fenerbahçe prediction and betting tips on February 27, 2025
Game Prediction
A match between Gaziantep and Fenerbahçe will take place in the 3rd round of the Turkish Cup group stage on February 27, 2025. The grandee from the capital is eager to maintain a 100% result, at least here, but the hosts cannot lose if they want to get to the play-offs.
Our prediction for the match Gaziantep vs Fenerbahçe
The current hosts of the arena debuted in the Süper Lig in 2019 and continue to hold on there. Last season, the team got 44 points and finished in 11th place according to additional indicators there. The representative of Istanbul again lost the race for leadership – Galatasaray turned out to be stronger.
Mourinho was lured to Turkey in the summer. Still, the specialist started poorly: he failed to qualify for the Champions League and made a number of misfires at the inner arena. Even in the Europa League, the club barely made it to the play-offs. And it immediately crushed Anderlecht there. As a result, a draw was more than enough in Belgium. Speaking about the previous round of the championship, the team pragmatically managed to get by without goals in the game against Galatasaray – 0-0. Meanwhile, Selcuk Inan’s footballers continue to hold on among the middle-ranking teams. They, after a couple of failures, managed to beat Sivasspor with a decisive goal in the 90th+ minute of the meeting. Still, the team lost to Trabzonspor in the previous match.
The hosts overcame 2 qualifying rounds and crushed Istanbulspor in the opening round of the group stage. Still, they lost with a 0-1 score to Goztepe in February. “The Special One” has a couple of crushing victories here: a 3-0 result in the struggle with Kasimpasa and a 5-0 battle against Erzurum BB.
