Gaziantep and Besiktas had winning outings on Tuesday in the Turkish Super Lig and as they face off this Saturday, the target will be to bag three more points. Besiktas host this clash, eyeing a win to go top as they are currently joint top with Galatasaray on 57 points. Meanwhile Gaziantep are five points below the top four, with 43 points in sixth place. Besiktas have a game in hand on leaders Galatasaray, who suffered a 2-1 loss to Ankaragucu in their last game. A win here will see Besiktas pull three points clear and going to the game with three straight clean sheets should give them a head start. The hosts have lost just once in the last 18 matches and in the last 10 games, have managed seven wins. No team in the league has scored more than Besiktas’ tally of 57 goals. They have netted in each of their last 15 matches, and in the last five they’ve scored a total of nine goals while conceding just one. Besiktas are also contesting for the Turkish Cup but going to this game, they have four straight clean sheets in league matches, and 12 wins and one loss in 15 league games. They’ve won 10 of their last 11 league matches at home, and head here with two straight clean sheets and wins at home in the league.

Gaziantep got their first win in four matches last time out as they faced Genclerbirligi and they had to labor for it, coming from a goal down and with a man lesser after Kevin Mirallas was sent off. It marked an improvement from the earlier three matches – loss and successive draws. Gaziantep have three clean sheets in five matches but failed to score in three of the last four games. It hasn’t been any easier for them away from home, going to this game on a run of seven winless outings in away matches. The visitors have had a very poor run away from in the Super Lig this season; out of their 13 matches, they’ve managed just three wins and five draws. A win rate of 23% in away matches means out of a possible 39 points, they’ve managed to bag a paltry 14. A key factor in their away day struggles, is the fact that they don’t score much. In their last four away league matches, Gaziantep have no goals.
