Monday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Galatasaray vs. Gaziantep

Istanbulspor vs. Samsunspor (Monday, 2.00pm)

The Turkish Super Lig returns with a fresh set of fixtures as relegation-threatened play host to Istanbulspor at the NecmiÌ‡ Kadioglu Sports Complex on Monday.

Both sides head into the game off the back of contrasting results, with the Red Lightning picking up a comfortable home victory in last Thursday's clash against Kayserispor.

We say: Istanbulspor 1-2 Samsunspor

Samsunspor have turned a corner since the turn of the year and will be backing themselves against an out-of-sorts Istanbulspor side who have won just one of their last seven matches. Gisdol's men picked up a 2-1 victory when the sides met in November's reverse fixture and we are tipping time to come out on top again.

Kayserispor vs. Antalyaspor (Monday, 2.00pm)

The action continues in round 23 of the Turkish Super Lig as Antalyaspor journey to the Kadir Has Stadium to face cellar-dwelling Kayserispor on Monday.

While the visitors head into the game unbeaten in their six matches since the turn of the year, the Anatolian Star have lost each of their last eight matches across all competitions.

We say: Kayserispor 0-2 Antalyaspor

While Kayserispor will be looking to find their feet on Monday, they take on a spirited Antalyaspor side who enjoyed a solid start to the year. We predict Yalcin's men will pick up where they left off against Sivasspor and claim all three points at the Kadir Has Stadium.

Trabzonspor vs. Kasimpasa (Monday, 5.00pm)

Trabzonspor and Kasimpasa will battle at Papara Park on Monday night in a clash between two sides moving in different directions on the Turkish Super Lig table.

The visitors, once flying high, aim to halt their alarming slide down the table, while the hosts are looking to maintain their place in the top four.

We say: Trabzonspor 2-1 Kasimpasa

Trabzonspor are missing several key places and face a tough test on Monday, but they still have the quality to come out on top against the Apaches and we back them to scrape through and take all three points.

Galatasaray vs. Gaziantep (Monday, 5.00pm)

One of the two frontrunners in the Turkish Super Lig title race, Galatasaray, aim to maintain the heat on their rivals when they welcome Gaziantep to the RAMS Park on Monday evening.

The home side are level on points with old rivals Fenerbahce at the top of the table, while the visitors are just one point away from the relegation zone.

We say: Galatasaray 3-0 Gaziantep

Galatasaray are outright favourites for this one as they will have too much for Gaziantep to handle. The Lions have been outstanding at home this season and we are backing them to preserve their perfect record on home turf against the faltering Eagles.
