Title Race Collision: Beşiktaş Face Gaziantep Test

Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 70/100. Sixth-placed Beşiktaş and seventh-placed Gaziantep collide in a certified six-pointer where the winner moves decisively closer to the top four.

The Setup

Beşiktaş's Form is patchy—two wins, two defeats, one draw across their last five. At home, though, they're considerably sharper. Cengiz Ünder has delivered 2 goals and 2 assists in his last five appearances, keeping Beşiktaş's attacking threat alive. Gaziantep, meanwhile, are specialists away from home (3 wins from 6 road matches), yet fragile domestically. The Balance favours Beşiktaş's possession dominance, but Gaziantep's counter-attacking pace poses genuine danger.

Key Battle

Cengiz Ünder versus Mohamed Bayo—whoever dictates the tempo controls the match. Ünder's creativity from the right flank has been Beşiktaş's creative engine; Bayo's three goals in five games and 7.1 average rating make him Gaziantep's most dangerous weapon. If Ünder orchestrates early, Beşiktaş suffocate the visitors. If Bayo gets space to run, Gaziantep punish on the break.

Our Prediction

Beşiktaş 2-1. Home advantage and superior control prove decisive. Ünder unlocks the Gaziantep defence in the first half; a second-half Beşiktaş goal seals it despite Bayo grabbing a consolation. The Stakes are genuine—both sides need this result.
