Antalyaspor and Ankaragucu resume their Super Lig campaigns when they meet on Friday at the Antalya Stadium.

Both sides entered the break in the bottom half in what has become a very congested battle near the lower end of the table.

We say: Antalyaspor 2-1 Ankaragucu

Having Wright back in top condition could be crucial for the hosts in this one, as the American international has netted nine league goals in just 12 games this season.

Ankaragucu had made improvements results-wise before the break, but individual quality could decide this encounter.

Umraniyespor will be looking to make it five games undefeated in competitive action when they play host to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday.

The home side are bottom of the league standings, but they were showing some positive signs before the break for the Qatar World Cup, while the visitors will commence proceedings in fifth place.

We say: Umraniyespor 1-1 Istanbul Basaksehir

Umraniyespor look like they have really started to turn the corner, and they proved earlier this season that they are capable of taking points off some of the better teams in the league.

With that in mind, we think that Basaksehir will find it tough, like they did in their last competitive away trip against Hatayspor, and the spoils will be shared.
