Caykur Rizespor and Hatayspor lock horns in a Turkish Super Lig clash on Saturday, with both sides needing points for contrasting reasons.
The visitors hover precariously above the relegation zone, while the hosts chase European aspirations.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 3-1 Hatayspor
After recording their biggest victory of the season in their last home match against Pendikspor to make it three home wins in a row, Rizespor will be feeling confident going into Saturday's fixtures.
Meanwhile, Hatayspor have struggled on the road this season, which makes this a straightforward prediction.

Two sides battling at different ends of the Turkish Super Lig table lock horns on Saturday when Istanbul Basaksehir host Adana Demirspor at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
Desperate to break free from the relegation struggle, the away side must face the formidable challenge of the continent-chasing hosts.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 Adana Demirspor
Basaksehir are enjoying a good spell and are looking untouchable at home at the moment. Demirspor might have ended their winless run last time out but they have not done enough to suggest that they can get anything from this match.

Round 19 of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig season sees Samsunspor welcome Fatih Karagumruk to the Samsun 19 Mayis Stadyumu on Saturday evening.
Both teams head into this one off the back of respective defeats last time out and will be looking to bounce back with all three points this weekend.
We say: Samsunspor 1-0 Fatih Karagumruk
Both teams have struggled for goals so far, and we are anticipating a low-scoring affair here. That said, we just about fancy the hosts to secure maximum points in the end.

Ankaragucu and Trabzonspor raise the curtain on their respective 2024 involvements with a meeting at the Eryaman Stadium on Saturday evening.
The teams played out a share of the spoils in their last outings, and they will both be looking to go one better in this weekend's encounter.
We say: Ankaragucu 0-1 Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor have been enjoying a field day in front of goal recently, but we can see them putting on a relatively quiet attacking display here. Nonetheless, we are backing the visitors to get the job done come the end of the 90 minutes.
