Alanyaspor and Istanbul Basaksehir get their 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig campaign underway when they go head to head on Monday evening.

The Grey Owls journey to the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium where they have failed to win any of their last six visits since October 2016 and will be looking to end this poor record.

We say: Alanyaspor 1-1 Istanbul Basaksehir

Looking at recent results between Alanyaspor and Istanbul Basaksehir, we anticipate a cagey affair at the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium on Monday. Alanyaspor have a solid home record against the Grey Owls and we predict they will force a share of the spoils in this one.

Fatih Karagumruk and Besiktas kick off their respective 2023 Turkish Super Lig campaigns with a meeting at Ataturk Olimpiyat on Monday evening.

The teams head into this one off the back of victories in their most recent outings and will be looking to pick up where they left off last time out.

We say: Fatih Karagumruk 1-2 Besiktas

With one eye on their European commitment three days later, Besiktas will be tempted to rest several key stars for this one. However, we are backing the away side to come out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.
