Match dey set to catch fire as Gaziantep go face Goztepe for Kalyon Stadyumu this Sunday. Na who go sabi run better for pitch? Goztepe don dey come, but dem no wan lose another match after dem waka through frustrating week.
Gaziantep don dey get their own wahala for league, dem don manage only one win for their last five matches. Dem dey sit for seventh position, three points behind Goztepe wey dey fourth place. Though dem start the season strong, na only six points dem don collect since dem start to stumble like say dem dey play waka pass.
For their last match, dem play 2-2 draw with Besiktas. Gaziantep try to show say dem fit lead but each time dem lead, Besiktas no gree give dem break too. Na so e be, their defence dey expose like bad market. 24 goals don enter their net, na highest for top half teams.
But hope dey shine small for Coach Yilmaz as their last four matches get two wins and one draw, including a well-deserved 2-0 win over Yesil Yalova FK for Turkish Cup. Still, na wetin dem go do for home soil we go dey check, because last three league matches wey dem play for Kalyon Stadyumu no give dem win, not one. Three match dey without victory, e no sweet at all. I mean, who wan go home if dem dey loose like this?
On the other hand, Goztepe dey enter this match after dem get smaller heart break last week. Dem lose their Turkish Cup round to Beyoglu Yeni Carsi and they don also lose their first home league match this season to Trabzonspor. E get as e be, despite say their defence dey stand better with 9 clean sheets, their attacking side dey perform like say dem no dey hungry. Only 18 goals na wetin dem don score.
Goztepe fit dey under pressure too, because Besiktas and Samsunspor dey just one point behind dem. So if dem mess up again, na wah for dem. Dem go need to gather all their strength to meet Gaziantep wey dey look for any chance to climb. Goztepe no dey too great when dem waka come Kalyon, but dem hope say dis time go be different.
As e dey show now, injuries no dey leave both sides. Gaziantep dey miss key players like Ali Mevran Ablak as dem recover from knee injuries. Plenty players dey doubt their fitness too, including Drissa Camara and Tayyip Talha Sanuc. E go take something special for Gaziantep to control the pitch without dem fit players.
On Goztepe side, dem dey also miss Ugur Yildiz wey dey chill with suspension after betting wahala. This match fit be good chance for both sides to shake off their recent blues and claim some vital points as winter break dey come close.
In all, na match wey go dey fill with intensity as both sides dey aim to show say dem fit hustle for better position before the Christmas and New Year break. If you fit catch am for TV, hold your palm wine tight because e go sweet pass jollof rice!
