Ankaragucu will hope to remain clear of the relegation zone when they host Alanyaspor at Eryaman Stadium on Friday evening.

The hosts are four points clear of the drop zone, while the visitors are four points behind the Europa Conference League spot.

We say: Ankaragucu 1-2 Alanyaspor

This promises to be a tight encounter, as the hosts will be desperate for points to avoid relegation, while the visitors chase a European spot. Alanyaspor are in better form, but Ankaragucu's home advantage could make the game a close one. We expect the visitors to edge this affair.

Two sides fighting for a place in the top four of the Turkish Super Lig come together on Friday evening when Besiktas host Caykur Rizespor at Vodafone Park.

The hosts are fifth in the league coming into this game and trail fourth-placed Istanbul Basaksehir by just a point, while the visitors are three points adrift of the top four.

We say: Besiktas 2-1 Caykur Rizespor

Besiktas may have struggled for victories in recent fixtures, but their home form is far superior to Caykur Rizespor's away results, leading us to believe the hosts will run away with the victory here.
