Gaziantep FK and Kasımpaşa recent form

Gaziantep have lost their last five league games. Across all competitions their last five read LLLWL, with six goals scored (1.2 per game) and ten conceded (2.0 per game). The one win was 4-0 away to Etimesgut SK in the Türkiye Kupası. They kept one clean sheet and failed to score twice in those five.

The home record is the main concern. In their last two home games they lost 0-3 to Çorum FK and 1-3 to Erzurumspor FK, scoring 1 and conceding 6, or 3.0 goals against per game.

Kasımpaşa's last five across competitions read LWWWD: three wins, one draw and one defeat, with 11 goals scored (2.2 per game) and seven conceded (1.4). They scored in every one of those games. The run includes a 4-1 home win over Samsunspor, a 1-0 win at Eyüpspor and a 2-2 draw with Beşiktaş on 1 November.

Away from home they have played two of those five, winning 1-0 at Eyüpspor and losing 1-3 at Galatasaray. That is 2 scored and 3 conceded, with one clean sheet.

Gaziantep FK vs Kasımpaşa team news

Gaziantep have two players out: F. Bavuk with a hamstring injury and N. Sangare with a back injury. Six more are listed as doubtful: U. Meleke with an injury, and S. Dursun, S. Hansen, A. Kizildag, O. Ozcicek and K. Tobiasz, all marked as inactive in our data. That is a long list for a side that has conceded 17 goals in 10 league games.

Kasımpaşa are without K. Corekci (Achilles tendon injury) and G. Frimpong (injury). Four are doubtful: A. Karapo (injury), M. Ouanes (muscle injury), and F. Diabate and K. Mouanga, both listed as inactive.

Line-ups are not yet published. They are confirmed about an hour before kick-off, and the doubtful players are the ones to check.

Key storylines for Gaziantep FK and Kasımpaşa

For Gaziantep the story is the slide. Five straight league defeats have left them 16th with the second-lowest points tally in the comparison, and only nine goals scored in 10 league games. Their league results in that run include 0-3 against Çorum FK, 1-2 at Başakşehir, 1-3 against Erzurumspor FK and 0-2 at Trabzonspor.

For Kasımpaşa the story is consistency. Five draws and only one defeat in 10 league games explain why they are 5th, and their goal difference is +4. They have lost only once in their last five league games, at Galatasaray, and the Beşiktaş draw came just five days before this trip.

A home win would be a significant reset for Gaziantep. A Kasımpaşa win would stretch the gap to 12 points.

Where Gaziantep FK vs Kasımpaşa will be decided

The central contrast is Gaziantep's defence against Kasımpaşa's attack. The hosts concede 2.0 goals per game over their last five and 3.0 at home, while the visitors average 2.2 scored and have not failed to score in their last five. If that pattern holds, Kasımpaşa should find chances.

The other side matters too. Gaziantep have scored only 0.5 goals per home game recently, and Kasımpaşa concede 1.4 per game and 1.5 away. If the visitors again concede, the hosts could stay in contention. Gaziantep scored four against a lower-division opponent in the cup, but league games have been far harder.

Four of Gaziantep's last five and four of Kasımpaşa's last five went over 2.5 goals, which points to an open game rather than a cautious one.

Gaziantep FK vs Kasımpaşa head-to-head

The six meetings in our data are all in the Süper Lig. Gaziantep have won three (2-1 on 9 February 2026, 3-2 at Kasımpaşa on 30 August 2025, and 2-0 on 21 April 2024). Two games were draws, both 2-2, and Kasımpaşa won once, 4-2 on 3 December 2023.

These meetings produce goals: 24 in six games, or 4.0 per game. Five of the six went over 2.5 goals and both teams scored in five. Gaziantep's record in this fixture is better than their current form suggests, though that history sits against a poor start to this season.

Gaziantep FK vs Kasımpaşa prediction

Our lean is towards Kasımpaşa, either a win or a draw. They have the stronger attack, the better league position and a more stable recent run, while Gaziantep have lost five league games in a row and conceded 6 goals in two home games. A narrow home result cannot be ruled out, given Gaziantep's head-to-head record, but the current trend points the other way.

On goals, we lean towards a game with at least three. Gaziantep's home games have been heavy on goals conceded, Kasımpaşa have scored 2.2 per game, and five of six head-to-head meetings went over 2.5. The extent of Gaziantep's absences and any late changes to the doubtful lists could alter that read.
