Super Lig
Although Besiktas are one of the biggest teams in Turkey, they have not been dominant against Gaziantep in the previous years. The Black Eagles have won four of the last ten H2H matches. Gaziantep won three games during the span, while three ended with draws. At the previous game at Tupras Stadium, Gaziantep won 2-1.
Besiktas team overview
Since their last Super Lig title in 2021, Besiktas haven't been competitive with the best teams in the competition. The current campaign will hardly be any different as Besiktas are, after 14 league rounds, nine points behind the league leader, Galatasaray. The Black Eagles struggled with consistency lately, with only two victories in the last five matches. In the most recent outing, Besiktas won 2-1 on the road against Karagumruk. The guests dominated throughout the game. Besiktas ended with an xG of 2.79, while the home side had only 0.45, so anything other than a victory for Sergen Yalcin's team would be completely unfair.
Besiktas defeated Karagumruk, but after the match, some reports appeared that the head coach, Sergen Yalcin, could potentially leave the club. Yalcin responded, "No one should be happy for nothing. I won't be leaving my position. As long as our fans support us, I am here. Those who write things here and there, those who are waiting, should not wait in vain. I am here, the players are here, the president is here, and the management is here. We just need time."
Besiktas' Gabriel Paulista suffered an injury in the previous Super Lig round and will not play on Monday against Gaziantep. Necip Uysal, Rafa Silva, Mustafa Hekimoglu, Ridvan Yilmaz, and Jonas Svensson are unavailable as well.

Gaziantep team overview
The 2025/26 season could be one of the best for Gaziantep. They are currently seventh on the table, and if Burak Yilmaz's team continues to play well, they could fight for the Europa or Conference League spots. Gaziantep lost only one of the last six matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they won 2-0 on the road in the cup against Yesil Yalova.
Gaziantep's head coach, Burak Yilmaz, changed the complete starting lineup for the cup tie against Yesil Yalova. We should expect the regular starting eleven on Monday evening in Istanbul.
Gaziantep have some problems with missing players, too. Salem M'Bakata and Ali Albak are injured, while Muhammet Gunes and Nazim Sangare are suspended.
