Alanyaspor will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins at the start of their new Turkish Super Lig campaign when they travel to Caykur Rizespor on Saturday evening.
The visitors will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir, while Rizespor's season started with a 2-1 defeat at Adana Demirspor.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 0-1 Alanyaspor
Both sides would have earmarked this match as the perfect chance to secure some points, and we are expecting Saturday's contest to be very tight. It would not be a surprise to see a draw here, but Alanyaspor should have just about enough to navigate their way to a vital win.

Galatasaray will be looking to pick up their first win of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig season when they play host to Trabzonspor at the Rams Global Stadium on Saturday night.
The hosts come into this match off the back of a successful second-leg Champions League tie against Olimpija, while the visitors secured a winning start to their league season with a victory over Antalyaspor on the opening weekend.
We say: Galatasaray 2-1 Trabzonspor
While Gala will have one eye on their Champions League encounter in midweek, they should still have more than enough depth in their squad to field a formidable starting 11 and go on to win this match. We feel both teams will get on the scoresheet, but the hosts should come out on top.

Hatayspor will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Turkish Super Lig when they host Kasimpasa at the New Hatay Stadium on Saturday evening.
The hosts are top of the league table after an emphatic victory on the opening day, with the visitors currently sitting in third place.
We say: Hatayspor 2-0 Kasimpasa
Hatayspor have a good record against Kasimpasa at home, winning two and drawing one of the previous three encounters, and they got off to a flying start to the Turkish Super Lig season, racking up a 5-1 victory over Pendikspor.
As such, we expect the hosts to record a fairly comfortable victory in what is set to be their first competitive home game in over six months.
