**Kocaelispor's riding a three-game winning streak at home, but Gaziantep arrive with zero losses in their last three.** This is a proper Super Lig scrap between an in-form home side and visitors who've been hard to break down. 🔥

Kocaelispor are clicking — three wins in five with back-to-back home victories over Samsunspor and Konyaspor. Gaziantep, though, drew with Fenerbahçe and just blasted Göztepe 4-2; they're battle-tested and solid defensively despite being without five key players to injury.

Key storylines:

- **Kocaelispor's home form** could be the difference — they've won twice at the Yildiz Entegre, and momentum matters
- **Gaziantep's injury crisis** (five players sidelined) forces them to patch things together; depth will be tested
- **Head-to-head split** — these sides have won one each in their last two meetings, so no obvious edge

Expected lineups:

- **Kocaelispor**: S. Öztaşdelen, A. Dijksteel, T. Zoukrou, M. Haïdara, M. Baku, Show, M. Susoho, F. Ayé, B. Kutlu, D. Agyei
- **Gaziantep FK**: K. Tobiasz, K. Çalhanoğlu, M. Abena, A. Kızıldağ, L. Pérez, K. Kozłowski, A. Maxim, H. Dervişoğlu, J. Bacuna, S. Hansen

Prediction:

**Kocaelispor 2-1 Gaziantep FK** — home advantage and hot form edge out a stretched-thin visitors side.
