After seeing their unbeaten streak come to an end, Kayserispor will look to bounce back immediately when they host Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
The brilliant start to life under Sergej Jakirovic took a hit as the Anatolian Star suffered a 2-0 defeat to Besiktas last time out.
We say: Kayserispor 1-0 Istanbul Basaksehir
Kayserispor's strong home form and solid record against Basaksehir suggest they will be tough to beat – and despite the visitors' recent win over Sivasspor, their struggles on the road could prove costly, with the hosts eager to respond after defeat.
The away side have failed to score in their last two matches on opposition ground, while the hosts have recently raised the bar at home with two straight wins, which is why we are predicting a slim victory for Kayserispor.

Antalyaspor vs. Caykur Rizespor (Saturday, 1.00pm)

After seeing their unbeaten streak come to an end, Antalyaspor will look to respond immediately when they host Caykur Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
The Scorpions had put together a five-match unbeaten run before suffering a 3-0 defeat to Fenerbahce last time out, but they now face a tricky encounter against a side they have failed to beat in their last four competitive meetings.
We say: Antalyaspor 1-0 Caykur Rizespor
With experienced defender Mosci suspended, Rizespor's defence, who are already giving up many chances, will likely become even more porous, and against an Antalyaspor side that have been decent at home, we expect this to be punished, leading to a home victory.

Trabzonspor vs. Hatayspor (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Having suffered yet another defeat on their travels, Trabzonspor will be eager to capitalise on home advantage when they welcome Hatayspor to Papara Park on Saturday, aiming for an immediate response.
The Black Sea Storm continue to struggle away from home, but pending their next game on the road, they can take confidence from an impressive nine-match unbeaten streak on their own turf.
We say: Trabzonspor 3-0 Hatayspor
Trabzonspor have been in fine scoring form at home recently, bagging eight goals in their last two home matches, and scoring at least three goals in five of their last six.
Considering all of this and their fine form at home, a win for the hosts against a struggling team seems inevitable, and it is only a question of how many goals the home side will score.
