Ankaragucu will be looking to step outside the relegation zone when they host Alanyaspor at the Eryaman Stadyumu on Sunday.

The home side come into this clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat against Besiktas in their last outing, while the visitors enjoyed a 1-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir last week.

We say: Ankaragucu 0-1 Alanyaspor

We believe that this will be a low-scoring affair due to the low attacking output of both sides, but think that the visitors will take the victory from this match as they possess a more potent frontline than the hosts.

The Europa Conference League qualification race intensifies this weekend when Trabzonspor host Adana Demirspor at the Senol Gunes Spor Kompleksi on Sunday afternoon.

The home side come into this matchup in shaky form, having just suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against rock-bottom Umraniyespor, while the visitors were awarded a 3-0 victory against Hatayspor in their last fixture due to their opponents' withdrawal from the Turkish Super Lig.

We say: Trabzonspor 1-1 Adana Demirspor

We believe that the recent departure of Abdullah Avci will spark a reaction from the home side and that they will hold Demirspor to a draw, although it will be a low-scoring affair due to the strong defensive nature of both sides.

Two teams at opposite ends of the Super Lig table will meet on Sunday when third-placed Besiktas make the trip to compete against Istanbul Basaksehir.

The hosts currently find themselves in the relegation zone, which a defeat having the potential to sink them to the bottom of the division.

We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 0-2 Besiktas

Istanbul Basaksehir have struggled throughout this campaign, and despite having the home advantage this is going to be a tough test to overcome.

The visits are the heavy favourites due to their league position and overall form, and that should lead to them taking all three points in this one.
