Two sides separated by just one point in the bottom half of the Super Lig table go head to head on Wednesday as Hatayspor play host to Gaziantep at the Mersin Stadium.
While the Star of the South will be looking to end their run of six league games without a win, the visitors set out in search of a second consecutive away victory for the first time this season.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Gaziantep
While the last five meetings between Hatayspor and Gaziantep have produced a combined 18 goals, we anticipate a cagey affair at the Mersin Stadium on Wednesday. Despite their recent struggles, Hatayspor have lost just two home games since January 2023 and we predict they will hold out for a share of the spoils.

Two teams currently on a tough run of results go head-to-head on Wednesday as Fatih Karagumruk welcome Kayserispor to the Ataturk Olimpiyat.
The hosts are currently on a four-game losing streak, while the visitors have come away empty-handed from each of their last three matches.
We say: Fatih Karagumruk 0-1 Kayserispor
Both Karagumruk and Kayserispor have struggled in front of goal, so we are expecting a low-scoring affair here. That said, we are tipping the visitors to narrowly get the job done in the end.

The Turkish Super Lig's midweek schedule throws up a fascinating contrast of ambitions as seventh-placed Adana Demirspor lock horns with relegation-threatened Istanbulspor at the New Adana Stadium.
Serkan Damla's Blue Lightnings chase European dreams, while Hakan Yakin's visitors desperately seek first-division survival.
We say: Adana Demirspor 2-1 Istanbulspor
Adana Demirspor are strong favorites, fueled by their home advantage and history over Istanbulspor. We expect a tight encounter but Demispor should edge it after 90 minutes.

Fenerbahce vs. Konyaspor (Wednesday, 5.00pm)

The rescheduled gameweek 16 fixtures in the Super Lig will see Fenerbahce look to extend their excellent run of form when they play host to Konyaspor on Wednesday evening.
This marks the 47th meeting between these sides, and the hosts dominate the head-to-head standings 35 wins to nine, while six matches have ended level.
We say: Fenerbahce 3-1 Konyaspor
Leading up to their stalemate against Gala on Christmas Eve, Fenerbahce had scored two or more goals in each of their first eight league games at home, posting a tally of 26 in that time. Konyaspor shipped three against Cimbom in midweek, and we feel they are likely to concede at least another three in this one.
