Gaziantep will be looking to secure three successive victories for the first time this season when they welcome relegation-threatened Kayserispor to Gaziantep Stadium on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the visitors, who are battling to retain their Turkish Super Lig status, will be eager to end a six-match winless streak on the road.
We say: Gaziantep 2-1 Kayserispor
Gaziantep have established themselves as one of the strongest home sides in the league, with their only defeat at Gaziantep Stadium since August coming against league leaders Galatasaray.
Kayserispor have shown signs of progress under their new manager, but their poor away form remains a significant concern, and we anticipate that their struggles on the road will once again be laid bare by the hosts, who will look to capitalise on their home advantage.

Two sides looking to move further clear of the Turkish Super Lig relegation zone go head-to-head on Saturday as Kasimpasa welcome Alanyaspor to the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.
With just one point and one place separating them in the table, both teams find themselves in a rough patch and in need of a morale-boosting result.
We say: Kasimpasa 2-1 Alanyaspor
With both sides struggling for form, neither teams are clear-cut favourites for this one, but Kasimpasa boast a strong record against Alanyaspor, and this could give them a psychological edge to secure a slim victory despite their poor home record.

Two teams looking to bounce back from defeats meet on Saturday as Istanbul Basaksehir host Trabzonspor at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
The hosts have suffered two defeats in their last three Turkish Super Lig matches, while the visitors arrive on the back of successive losses, adding further importance to this encounter.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-1 Trabzonspor
With both sides struggling for form, this is expected to be a tight and cautious affair, with Basaksehir struggling for goals and Trabzonspor's dreadful away record.
Given these trends, a high-scoring game seems unlikely, and we believe that it will end in a stalemate, as both teams will be wary of avoiding defeats rather than going for the win.

Konyaspor vs. Besiktas (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Two sides at opposite ends of the Turkish Super Lig table will go head-to-head as Konyaspor welcome Besiktas to the Torku Arena.
The hosts are battling to hold onto fourth place in their quest for European football, while the visitors sit precariously just one point above the relegation zone.
We say: Konyaspor 1-2 Besiktas
Besiktas boast a dominant record in this fixture and have been strong on the road, making them favourites for this clash despite their recent blip.
Considering Konyaspor's struggles to find the net, having not scored more than once in any of their last five matches, they will not have enough creativity to match the visitors, who create quite a number of chances and tend to take them at a good rate.
