Hatayspor and Antalyaspor will go head-to-head at Mersin Stadium on Saturday, with both teams desperate for a result to boost their survival hopes in the Turkish Super Lig.

The hosts are firmly entrenched in the bottom four, sitting second from bottom with just 10 points, while the visitors are only six points above the relegation zone in 14th place.

We say: Hatayspor 1-0 Antalyaspor

Hatayspor's struggles and Antalyaspor's poor away form make this a tough call – however, with the desperation for points on the home side and their recent performances, we expect them to edge what will likely be a cagey affair.

Kayserispor will take on Trabzonspor at the Kadir Has Stadium on Saturday, aiming to end a five-match winless run and bolster their survival hopes in the Turkish Super Lig.

Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to extend their winning streak to three league matches and continue their climb up the table.

We say: Kayserispor 1-2 Trabzonspor

Kayserispor's struggles and managerial instability contrast with Trabzonspor's strong form, but the visitors' poor away record is a concern.

With a new manager bounce possible for the hosts, a tightly contested match is expected – however, Trabzonspor's firepower could prove decisive, helping them win the clash.

Samsunspor will travel to face Istanbul Basaksehir at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium on Saturday, aiming to complete a historic Turkish Super Lig double over their hosts.

The visitors have been in fine form this season and secured a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture, marking their first-ever top-flight win against the Grey Owls.

We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-1 Samsunspor

Samsunspor's strong form means they are the favourites for this clash – however, their recent away form suggests that this game could be a close one, which is why we are predicting a stalemate.
