Gazişehir Gaziantep vs Eyüpspor Prediction
Gaziantep to Shut Out Struggling Eyüpspor
Preview
Right then, let's have a proper look at this Turkish Super Lig clash between Gazişehir Gaziantep and the struggling Eyüpspor. The home side are sitting pretty in 6th place with 22 points, and they've been playing some decent stuff lately - 5 wins, 4 draws, and just 1 loss in their last 10 games. They're scoring for fun at home too, netting 1.83 goals per game on their own patch.
Eyüpspor, on the other hand, are having a right old time of it down in 16th place with just 9 points to show for their efforts. Their recent form reads like a horror story: 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 losses in their last 10 outings. But here's the killer stat - they haven't scored a single goal in their last 5 away matches. Not one! That's not just bad, that's historically poor.
Looking at the recent results, Gazişehir have been mixing it with the big boys, earning draws against Trabzonspor and Samsunspor, while their only loss in the last 10 came against unbeaten Fenerbahce. Eyüpspor, meanwhile, are struggling to beat anyone, with their only win in 10 coming against Kasimpasa back in October.
The head-to-head record shows Eyüpspor lead 3-1 overall, but Gazişehir won the last meeting 3-1, and at home they've got a 50% win rate against them. The stats back up the home side's superiority too - more shots, better accuracy, and more possession.
When you look at the betting odds, the Both Teams To Score - No market at 2.10 looks mighty tempting. Eyüpspor's away attacking form is so abysmal that them not scoring seems almost a mathematical certainty. Gazişehir have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 10, and against an Eyüpspor side that can't buy a goal on the road, another clean sheet looks very likely indeed.
Key Points:
- Eyüpspor haven't scored in 5 away matches - shocking stuff!
- Gazişehir are solid at home with 1.83 goals per game
- Home side have 5 clean sheets in last 10 games
- Eyüpspor's away form: 0 wins, 0 goals scored
- Gazişehir only lost once in last 10 games (to unbeaten Fenerbahce)
The Verdict: This one's pretty straightforward when you look at the numbers. Eyüpspor simply can't score away from home, and Gazişehir are decent enough at the back to keep them out. The home side should score, but I'll be shocked if Eyüpspor find the net. BTTS No looks the value play here.
