A stuttering Caykur Rizespor will be looking to return to winning ways in the Turkish Super Lig when they take on Gaziantep at Caykur Didi Stadyumu on Sunday.
The hosts have slipped to seventh place in the league standings with nine matches left to play in the season, while the visitors are 15th and are still firmly involved in the relegation scrap.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 1-0 Gaziantep
While Rizespor have experienced a drop-off since the New Year, they have maintained an above-average home record, conceding only once in their last five matches at Caykur Didi Stadyumu. This should be a tight and tactical match and we feel that the first goal could easily end up being the winner.

Kasimpasa host Galatasaray on Sunday afternoon at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium, aiming to fuel their European aspirations and potentially throw a spanner in the title race.
The hosts are just three points behind the fourth-placed side while the visitors are two points clear at the top.
We say: Kasimpasa 1-2 Galatasaray
Galatasaray are unstoppable at the moment and we think they will carry this momentum into the game with Kasimpasa. It is crunch time in the title race and the Lions will dig deep to secure three points again. However, it should be a close affair as the home side also have an European ticket within sight.

Hatayspor will look to boost their survival chances when they host Samsunspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday at the Mersin Stadium.
The hosts are coming into this game on the back of a six-match winless streak, picking up just two points in their last five league matches.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Samsunspor
Hatayspor have struggled this season and are winless in their last six matches. While Samsunspor on the other hand, have looked a shadow of themselves whenever they play away from home. We think that this one will end in a draw but we expect both sides to find the net.

Trabzonspor vs. Fenerbahce (Sunday, 5.30pm)

One of the biggest clashes in the Turkish Super Lig will take place on Sunday at Papara Park when Trabzonspor host Fenerbahce.
The hosts, who are 27 points behind the visitors, are just one spot below in the table and will hope they can add more twists to the title race while holding on to third place.
We say: Trabzonspor 1-2 Fenerbahce
It is going to be a tight affair but Fenerbahce have enough quality to get over the line on Sunday. Trabzonspor showed that they can be vulnerable on home soil when they lost woefully to Galatasaray a couple of weeks ago and we think that they will fall short.
