The Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium braces for a clash between two sides looking to get back on track, as Sivasspor host Gaziantep in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
Both sides secured midweek victories in the Turkish Cup, providing a much-needed confidence boost as they seek to reignite their league campaigns.
We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Gaziantep
Sivasspor boast a strong historical record in this fixture, but their home form this season has been a major worry, and this could prove to be their undoing on Sunday. Gaziantep, by contrast, have put in some decent performances on their travels recently, and they appear capable of snatching a point come the final whistle.

A clash of two sides at contrasting ends of the Turkish Super Lig sees Fenerbahce host Samsunspor at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Both sides head into this clash on the back of consecutive victories in the Turkish Cup and Super Lig, seeking to extend their winning streaks to fuel their contrasting ambitions.
We say: Fenerbahce 3-0 Samsunspor
Fenerbahce are outright favourites for this one as they will have too much for Samsunspor to handle. The Yellow Canaries have scored 57 goals in the league so far, which is a testament to their firepower.

Konyaspor will be aiming to move out of the Turkish Super Lig relegation zone by beating Antalyaspor on Sunday.
However, the visitors have lost just once in their last 11 league games to move up to seventh in the table.
We say: Konyaspor 1-1 Antalyaspor
Antalyaspor may have been unsettled by the controversial events surrounding Jehezkel and the club over the past week, while Konyaspor appear to have been boosted by making a change of management.
However, the visitors are clearly in much better form at present, and we expect them to have enough about them to claim a positive result in the form of sharing the spoils.

Trabzonspor will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to seven league games when they host Galatasaray on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the weekend's action two points behind Fenerbahce at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table.
We say: Trabzonspor 1-1 Galatasaray
With both teams missing some key players due to international duty and injuries, neither side are likely to be at their best on Sunday. However, we still expect to see an entertaining encounter play out, with Trabzonspor proving themselves to be the best of the rest so far this season.
As such, we can envisage them avoiding defeat against the reigning champions, who have struggled to an extent on the road in recent weeks. They are missing Icardi's predatory instincts in attack and this could see them cede further ground to Fenerbahce at the top of the table.
