Caykur Rizespor play host to Bodrumspor searching for the win that would ensure that they retain their position in the top half of the Super Lig table.
At a time when the home side occupy ninth position in the standings, Bodrumspor are down in 16th, albeit just six points adrift of their upcoming opponents.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 2-1 Bodrumspor
With both teams having generally impressed of late, we are anticipating an entertaining affair. Bodrumspor will back themselves to extend their unbeaten streak, yet Rizespor get the nod with us, potentially prevailing by a late goal.

Eyupspor will be the guest of Goztepe SK in their Turkish Super Lig gameweek 28 fixture at the Gursel Aksel Stadium on Sunday.
The hosts will be looking to snap a six-game winless streak, while the visitors will aim for a second consecutive win, as their quest for European football intensifies.
We say: Goztepe SK 1-1 Eyupspor
Both teams suffered a dip in form in recent weeks, but Eyupspor found a way out of the doldrums in their last league outing.
Given the struggles of the visitors on their travels to Izmir in recent times, and the desperation of the home side, the contest is likely to end in a 1-1 draw.

Two teams battling to secure their Turkish Super Lig status for another season will go head-to-head when Hatayspor welcome Sivasspor to Mersin Stadium on Sunday.
The hosts find themselves second-bottom in the table, 11 points adrift of safety, while the visitors sit just outside the relegation zone, edging Bodrumspor on head-to-head record.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Sivasspor
Sivasspor looked more energetic than they have in a long time and showed great character to come from behind for a deserved win last time out, and with an experienced manager at the helm, they should at least take a point from this match.
Hatayspor were fortunate in their last victory, as their opponents wasted several chances, and if they defend the same way here, they could be punished, but they should still have enough to earn a draw.

Fenerbahce vs. Samsunspor (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Fresh from their European exit, Fenerbahce will look to stay in the Turkish Super Lig title race when they host high-flying Samsunspor at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday.
The Yellow Canaries trail league leaders Galatasaray by seven points, though they have played one game fewer than their fierce rivals.
We say: Fenerbahce 3-1 Samsunspor
Samsunspor's lack of squad depth is starting to take its toll, though the strong foundations they built earlier in the season should be enough to secure European qualification.
However, an away trip to Fenerbahce demands high energy and defensive resilience—qualities the visitors seem to be lacking at the moment, and with that in mind, we expect the hosts to come out on top.
