Adana Demirspor will finish the season with a Super Lig home contest, with Goztepe SK Sunday's visitors to the New Adana Stadium.
The hosts enter the contest in ninth place, while the visitors have been relegated to the second tier following a disappointing season.
Match preview
On the face of it, Adana Demirspor will be pleased with their mid-table position after winning promotion to the top flight last term, however, at one stage they looked to be on course to qualify for European competition.
After 32 league matches, Sunday's hosts sat just one point outside the top four, but a run of five consecutive defeats has ended their hopes of European football.
Adana Demirspor travelled to Istanbul to face Galatasaray last weekend, and the contest got off to a promising start for the visitors after Yunus Akgun opened the scoring.
However, a Bafetimbi Gomis brace and a Kerem Akturkoglu strike helped the hosts surge into a 3-1 lead, and although Mario Balotelli halved the deficit in the 67th minute, Adana Demirspor could not salvage anything from the encounter.
Their hopes of European football may have evaporated, but Vincenzo Montella's side will be desperate to end their losing run before the summer break.
As for the visitors, their five-season stay in the top flight will come to an end on Sunday, with their relegation to the second tier already confirmed.
After finishing in 10th place last term, Goztepe have struggled this season, collecting just 28 points from their 19th league game.
As a result of their low points tally, Sunday's visitors are guaranteed to finish the season in 19th position.
Like their hosts, Goztepe also enter the final matchday in a poor run of form, with the visitors winless in their last 14 matches.
Thirteen of those 14 games have resulted in defeat, but Goztepe will be hoping that they can at least finish their stint in the top flight with a positive result.
