Facing off at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in a relegation six-pointer, Fatih Karagumruk host Pendikspor, looking to stop their good run.

The hosts aim to build on their Turkish Cup success on Tuesday, while the visitors are looking to extend their five-game unbeaten run in the league.

We say: Fatih Karagumruk 0-1 Pendikspor

Pendikspor have been on a good run of form, and we fancy them to maintain their momentum against a Karagumruk side known for their inconsistency. The visitors boast an impressive attacking line, but we believe their resolute defending could be the key to nicking the result.

Turkish Super Lig contenders, Galatasaray, will set sights on keeping the pressure on their rivals when they host Istanbul Basaksehir in a tantalising derby match-up on Saturday evening.

The hosts are on a seven-match winning run across all competitions, while the visitors have also won their last three games.

We say: Galatasaray 2-0 Istanbul Basaksehir

Galatasaray's home record has been impeccable this season, making them favourites for this one. While the visitors are also in a good moment, we think the quality difference will see the hosts win this at the end.
