Hatayspor vs. Pendikspor (Saturday, 10.30am)

Hope and desperation collide on the Antakya Ataturk Stadium turf on Saturday as Hatayspor host Pendikspor in a Turkish Super Lig clash between two struggling sides.

The hosts, once flying high, aim to halt their alarming slide down the table, while the visitors, deep in the relegation zone, search for a vital shot in the arm.

We say: Hatayspor 1-0 Pendikspor

Hatayspor, desperate to end their slide, will be backed by their passionate home crowd. However, Pendikspor have picked up most of their points on the road and should not be underestimated.

Expect a tight encounter with Hatayspor edging it, fueled by the need for a morale-boosting victory.

Ankaragucu vs. Kasimpasa (Saturday, 10.30am)

Action continues in the Turkish Super Lig as Ankaragucu and Kasimpasa go head to head at the Eryaman Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts will look to halt their slump, which has seen them fall to just three points above the relegation zone, while the visitors aim to climb closer to the European spots

We say: Ankaragucu 1-1 Kasimpasa

Expect a tight affair, with both sides desperate for points. Ankaragucu have recorded a lot of draws in recent matches while Kasimpasa have also looked solid in their last two away games.

The home side have recorded more draws than any other side in the division this season, and we think this will be another stalemate.

Istanbul vs. Alanyaspor (Saturday, 1.00pm)

A tantalizing mid-table battle unfolds at the Fatih Terim Stadium as Istanbul Basaksehir host Alanyaspor on Saturday afternoon in the Turkish Super Lig.

Both teams are currently separated by one spot and one point, with the hosts sitting in 11th while the visitors are 12th heading into this match.

We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-1 Alanyaspor

Expect a thrilling encounter with both sides seeking to impose their attacking philosophies. Basaksehir's home advantage might give them a slight edge, but Alanyaspor's newfound confidence makes them a dangerous opponent.

Caykur Rizespor vs. Adana Demirspor (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Adana Demirspor set out in search of their first away win of the season when they journey to the Estadio Caykur Didi to take on Caykur Rizespor on Saturday.

Having lost each of the last three league meetings between the sides, the Black Sea Sparrowhawk will head into the weekend seeking to get one over the visitors and return to winning ways.

We say: Caykur Rizespor 2-1 Adana Demirspor

Currently level on points in the league standings, we anticipate that both sides will take the game to each other in search of maximum points. Demirspor's form on the road gives Rizespor a slight edge and we fancy the hosts to claim all three points, albeit by the odd goal.

Besiktas vs. Karagumruk (Saturday, 4.00pm)

The Tupras Stadyumu braces for a clash of contrasting narratives on Saturday as Besiktas, riding a crest of confidence, welcome Fatih Karagumruk, desperate to escape the relegation shadows. Both teams are coming into this match off positive results and will look to build on that in this clash.

We say: Besiktas 2-0 Fatih Karagumruk

Besiktas will be keen to end their poor run of results at home and an opponent like Karagumruk presents the perfect opportunity to do that.

The visitors will also come into this with a lot of confidence after their win last time out and a knowledge of the hosts' poor home form.

However, we think the Black Eagles will have too much for the Black Red to handle.
