Gaziantep FK Record the Worst Start in Süper Lig History

Gaziantep FK began the new season under Mirel Radoi with a 1-1 draw against Corendon Alanyaspor at home in the first week. In Week 2, the team lost 1-0 away to Eyüpspor, and in Week 3 it was beaten 2-1 at home by Çaykur Rizespor. Following this result, the club parted ways with Radoi and appointed Orhan Ak as head coach.

The red and blacks won their second match of the season in Week 4, beating Göztepe 4-2 away. After this win, they went seven league matches without a victory. During this period, the team drew 0-0 with Fenerbahçe, and lost 2-0 to Kocaelispor, 3-0 to Arca Çorum FK, 2-1 to İstanbul Başakşehir, 3-1 to Erzurumspor FK, 2-0 to Trabzonspor and 2-0 to Kasımpaşa.

Following the consecutive defeats, Gaziantep FK management reached a mutual agreement with Orhan Ak and parted ways with him. The club suffered its sixth successive defeat with these results. In the last seven matches, the team collected only 1 point, conceded 14 goals and found the net just twice.

In 11 league matches, Gaziantep FK has scored 9 goals and conceded 19, sitting 16th with a goal difference of minus 10. The team is level on points with TÜMOSAN Konyaspor but trails them on goal difference, and has slipped into the relegation zone.

Taking the first 11 matches of each of the club's eight Süper Lig seasons into account, this season has produced the lowest points total.
