In this preview, two teams looking to bounce back from league defeats meet in the Süper Lig on Monday as Alanyaspor hosts Gaziantep FK at the Bahçeşehir Okullari Stadium. Alanyaspor, currently 10th, were handed a 2-0 defeat by Kocaelispor in their last league outing and have won just one of their last six. Gaziantep, meanwhile, sit 6th in the table but are coming off a heavy 0-4 home thrashing by Fenerbahçe, a result that snapped an impressive seven-match unbeaten streak in the league.
Both sides secured wins in the Turkish Cup midweek, but this return to league action is crucial. This match preview pits a team with a dominant head-to-head record (Alanyaspor) against a team that has been stronger overall this season (Gaziantep). For punters, this creates a difficult but intriguing puzzle to solve, with plenty of value to be found on Betano.

Key Stats
- Alanyaspor dominates this fixture. They have won 6 of their last 10 meetings against Gaziantep.
- Gaziantep’s defence is a concern. They have the third-worst defensive record in the division (18 goals conceded), while Alanyaspor have a balanced record of 11 goals scored and 11 conceded.
Correct Score Prediction
Alanyaspor 2 – 0 Gaziantep FK
This is a clash of conflicting data. Gaziantep has the better recent form, but Alanyaspor has utter historical dominance in this fixture. The most telling stat is Alanyaspor’s ability to shut Gaziantep out, having won the last three encounters 3-0, 1-0, and 3-0.
Gaziantep are coming off a 0-4 mauling that will have shattered the confidence from their unbeaten run. Alanyaspor, despite poor form, are tough to beat at home and will be buoyed by their H2H record. This points to a tight, low-scoring affair, with Alanyaspor’s historical advantage just giving them the edge to grind out a 1-0 win, a scoreline you can explore on Betano.
Alanyaspor vs Gaziantep FK H2H

Team News Alanyaspor
Manager João Pereira, who rotated his squad for the cup win, will bring back his first-team regulars. Goalkeeper Ertugrul Taskiran will return, as will the defensive trio of Umit Akdag, Nuno Lima, and the returning-from-suspension Fidan Aliti. The attack will be led by Uchenna Ogundu and Ui-jo Hwang. However, Alanyaspor will be without key offensive players Steve Mounie, Guven Yalcin, and Efecan Karaca, who all remain out with injuries.
Team News Gaziantep FK
Gaziantep have significant suspension issues. Centre-back Myenty Abena is out after receiving a red card against Fenerbahçe, while Kevin Rodrigues is also suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
