The relegation battle in the Turkish Super Lig is already in full swing as Pendikspor and Samsunspor, two of the four worst teams in the league, meet at Siltas Yapi Pendik Stadyumu on Sunday afternoon.
Both teams had positive results against the same team in their last matches - Pendikspor defeated Istanbulspor 4-2 away from home last weekend, before Samsunspor overcame the same opposition 2-1 on Wednesday.
We say: Pendikspor 1-1 Samsunspor
Both teams have stepped up a gear in terms of performance levels in recent weeks, therefore it is really difficult to predict the winner on Sunday.
Pendikspor are still winless at home, while Samsunspor have yet to win away from home, making the outcome of Sunday's game even more uncertain.

Besiktas will be looking to get back to winning ways as they take on Istanbul Basaksehir at the Tupras Stadyumu on Sunday afternoon.
The Black Eagles have dropped out of the top four of the Turkish Super Lig after two defeats in their last three games and are currently fifth in the table with 19 points.
We say: Besiktas 2-1 Istanbul Basaksehir
Besiktas' spirits are low after their defeat in the UEFA Europa Conference League during the week, and if injury worries are added to the mix, even relegation candidates Istanbul Basaksehir could be a difficult opponent to overcome.
The visitors should not be afraid of this game and could even prepare a more aggressive approach to try to take advantage of Besiktas' mental low point at this stage.

Avoiding a fourth straight defeat will be the objective for Caykur Rizespor when they welcome Istanbulspor to Caykur Didi Stadyumu on Sunday.
For Istanbulspor, this weekend's clash also provides them the opportunity to return to winning ways off the back of four consecutive losses across all competitions.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 2-1 Istanbulspor
Neither team is in particularly good form heading into this one, and Sunday's game could easily swing either way. That said, we just about fancy the home side to carry the day come the sound of the final whistle.

Round 12 of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig campaign comes to an end with a meeting between Adana Demirspor and Fenerbahce at Yeni Adana Stadyumu on Sunday.
The hosts head into this one off the back of a share of the spoils last time out, while the visitors will be aiming to avoid a third straight loss across all competitions.
We say: Adana Demirspor 2-3 Fenerbahce
With the Turkish Super Lig's two highest-scoring teams going head-to-head in this one, we are anticipating an action-packed contest. We can also see the visitors just about seeing off the threat of their hosts to emerge victorious.
