Kasimpasa welcome Umraniyespor to Istanbul for a huge clash at the bottom in Turkey early on Saturday.

The visitors enter the weekend still at the foot of the Super Lig table, but they are showing promising signs.

We say: Kasimpasa 2-2 Umraniyespor

In just the third-ever competitive meeting between the sides, the away side on the day has won both previous encounters, so Kasimpasa will hope they can buck that trend.

Their solid home form suggests they can, but Umraniyespor are strong in attack so may cause them problems.

European challengers Adana Demirspor welcome Antalyaspor to the Yeni Adana Stadyumu for a Super Lig clash on Saturday.

There were wildly differing results for the two sides last weekend though, making this an even more interesting fixture.

We say: Adana Demirspor 2-0 Antalyaspor

An early red card was a blow that Adana Demirspor could not deal with last week, and if they keep 11 men on the pitch here, they should fare better and win.

Antalyaspor's dreadful away record makes any surprising result here seem unlikely, but they did take a point away at Besiktas recently.

It will be an all Istanbul affair on Saturday evening in the Super Lig, when Besiktas host Istanbulspor.

With title ambitions almost mathematically impossible, Besiktas will just look to hold on to a European place for the rest of the season.

We say: Besiktas 2-1 Istanbulspor

Having recovered their form in recent weeks, Besiktas should have enough to win on home soil in this Istanbul derby.

Istanbulspor have proved they are a threat, but the sides they have beaten in the last three games have all been a level below Besiktas.
