Gaziantep vs Besiktas Live Stream & Tips – Black Eagles to Win in the Super Lig

Besiktas take on a struggling Gaziantep side, who underwent a recent managerial change but continue to falter, losing 3-0 in their last outing. The Istanbul giants remain in fourth place, aiming to secure European qualification. Given Gaziantep's poor form and Besiktas' strong record—eight wins from twelve—Besiktas are tipped to win. Key statistics back this prediction, and their historical dominance further strengthens the case. The main recommendation: back Besiktas for the win, possibly with both teams to score (BTTS) for higher odds.

Gaziantep have nothing left to play for and they were smashed in last weekend’s clash against relegation candidates Eyupspor 3-0, which was Mirel Radoi’s debut match as the new manager. I am backing Besiktas to win here and secure European berth. 

Key Stats  


  • Gaziantep have lost 3 of their last 5 matches. 
  • Gaziantep have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 home matches (Super Lig). 
  • Gaziantep have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches against Besiktas. 
  • Besiktas have won 8 of their last 12 matches. 

H2H Stats Going in Favor of Besiktas 


Besiktas claimed 9 victories in their 18 head to head matches against Gaziantep, the Falcons securing 5 wins, 4 games ending without a winner. 

Gaziantep Under New Leadership 


Gaziantep have been struggling for form in the last two months and slipped to 10th place in the Super Lig without a chance to battle for European positions. 

A 2-1 road loss to Rizespor was the final straw for head manager Burak Yilmaz who resigned immediately after that match. 

An initial response was fantastic, the Falcons beating Kayserispor 3-0 in the follow up clash under caretaker Mustafa Aksoy. The next day, they appointed Mirel Radoi as the new head manager. 

Radoi’s debut was a disaster though, Gaziantep suffering a convincing 3-0 loss to Eyupspor last weekend where they registered just 0.67 xG and created one goal chance. 

Black Eagles Still Have Time to Salvage This Season 


Besiktas had a lot of slip ups in the Super Lig recently but still hold desired 4th position (secures a spot in the Conference League) with three rounds left to be played. 

Their most recent match on the road was at Samsunspor in mid-April, suffering a 2-1 defeat in an open and quite entertaining game to watch. Kristjan Asllani was the sole scorer for the Istanbul side. 

Besiktas’ biggest focus in remaining weeks will be the Turkish Cup where they reached semifinals after beating Alanyaspor 3-0 at home last week, El Bilal Toure, Orkan Kokcu and Oh Hyeon-Guy appearing on the scoresheet. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Gaziantep (4-1-4-1) Zafer Gorgen; Deian Sorescu, Arda Kizildag, Myenty Abena, Kevin Rodrigues; Victor Gidado; Kacper Kozlowski, Drissa Camara, Alexandru Maxim, Christopher Lungoyi; Mohamed Bayo

Salem Mbakata and Ali Mevran Ablak are both out with cruciate ligament injuries while Yusuf Kabadayi remains sidelined with a thigh issue. Badou Ndiaye is also a major doubt for this clash

Besiktas (4-1-4-1) Devis Vasquez; Taylan Bulut, Emmanuel Agbadou, Emirhan Topcu, Yasin Ozcan; Wilfred Ndidi; Milot Rashica, Orkun Kokcu, Kristjan Asllani, Vaclav Cerny; El Bilal Toure

Ridvan Yilmaz is suspended for one match due to accumulation of yellow cards. Kartal Yilmaz and Necip Uysal are also expected to miss out due to injury.

Verdict

Besiktas had a couple of disappointing performances recently but still are one of the most successful Turkish teams in 2026 with eight wins in last twelve games. I will back them to beat Gaziantep who have nothing left to play for.
