Antalyaspor v Gaziantep: survival fight meets mid-table push | OneFootball

Antalyaspor host Gaziantep in the Süper Lig on Friday, 13 March 2026 in Antalya, with the hosts seeking breathing space above the drop and the visitors eyeing a top-half push.

Recent meetings have often been tight, and Gaziantep edged the reverse fixture 3-2 in October. Antalyaspor sit 14th on 24 points, while Gaziantep are 10th with 30.

Form is mixed on both sides. Antalyaspor have one league win in their last four, including a 2-2 draw with Fenerbahçe before defeat at Çaykur Rizespor. Gaziantep are winless in four league games, following back-to-back losses with draws against Samsunspor and Fatih Karagümrük.

Selection could matter. Antalyaspor are without Lautaro Gianetti and Ramzi Safuri through injury. Gaziantep miss Denis Draguş, Salem M'Bakata and Ali Ablak, while Tayyib Talha Sanuç is suspended.

The visitors may look to control the ball, averaging 51% possession and 82.27% pass accuracy this season, with Mohamed Bayo on 10 league goals and creators Alexandru Maxim and Drissa Camara supplying seven and six assists respectively. Antalyaspor average 44% possession and one goal per game, but with six headed goals and 246 open-play crosses at 25.20% accuracy, their wide delivery could trouble a defence that has conceded 41 times.

A home win would lift Antalyaspor to 27 points and could pull them further clear of the relegation places. Victory for Gaziantep would take them to 33 points and may nudge them towards the top half.
