Istanbulspor play host to Alanyaspor on Sunday looking for the win which will move them to the brink of getting out of the Super Lig relegation zone.
At a time when the home side occupy 18th place in the table, Alanyaspor are in ninth spot, but 13 points adrift of the top six.
We say: Istanbulspor 1-1 Alanyaspor
Despite the difference in league positions, the lower team is in the better form and has home advantage. With that in mind, we feel that Istanbulspor will do enough to earn a share of the spoils, a result which would not necessarily benefit either side.

Hatayspor play host to Kasimpasa on Sunday with the opportunity to move ahead of their opponents in the Super Lig standings.
That is despite four positions separating the clubs, Hatayspor currently down in 17th and the visitors occupying 13th place.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Kasimpasa
Possessing the worst attack in the division, few people will expect much quality from Hatayspor in the final third on Sunday. Nevertheless, we feel that the home side may do enough to secure a point, keeping them in close proximity to numerous teams above them.

Galatasaray vs. Trabzonspor (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Galatasaray will be attempting to strengthen their position at the top of the Super Lig table when they face current champions Trabzonspor on Sunday.
At a time when the home side are six points clear, Trabzonspor are down in sixth spot, albeit just two points behind third-placed Istanbul Basaksehir.
We say: Galatasaray 2-1 Trabzonspor
Given the length of their winning streak, it is simply unrealistic to back against Galatasaray right now. While we expect Trabzonspor to push their hosts, they have not shown enough this campaign to suggest that they can get over the line versus the leaders on away territory.
