Fenerbahce will host Gaziantep at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Monday for the 14th round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be keen to continue their remarkable form in hopes of closing the gap between themselves and league leaders Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce picked up their fourth consecutive league win with an emphatic 6-2 victory over Kayserispor last week to extend their unbeaten league run to six matches. Jose Mourinho's side have only dropped points three times in the league all season and will be looking to continue stacking up the points to stay close to the unbeaten Galatasaray.
Gaziantep have also been in impressive form with three wins and two draws in their last six league matches. Despite being 10 places and 14 points behind Monday's hosts, they travel to Istanbul high on confidence following their comprehensive 3-0 win over Istanbul Başakşehir in their last match.

Fenerbahce vs Gaziantep Prediction
Fenerbahce can be considered comfortable favorites when they host Gaziantep on Monday. They will hope their offensive and defensive prowess alongside their strong run of form can spur them to victory on Monday.
Gaziantep will need to be at their best to pick up all three points on the road, a feat they have only achieved once in six away league games this season. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams could, however, see them lose this one.
