Super Lig table neighbours Hatayspor and Kayserispor meet at Mersin Stadyumu on Friday night, with both teams within reach of a European spot if they win.
Hatayspor are still unbeaten at home this season - two wins and two draws in four games - while the visitors are the exact opposite away from home, having yet to win in four games.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Kayserispor
Hatayspor has a perfect home record this season and given Kayserispor's poor away record, there are not many signs that could point to an end to this streak for either side.
The hosts have scored in their last three home games, so it is unlikely that they will go scoreless on Friday. However, with Thiam in top form, Kayserispor have a big weapon in hand that will pose Hatayspor major problems defensively.

Kasimpasa will be looking for their fourth win in the last five games against struggling Istanbulspor on Friday night at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadyumu.
Despite the huge discrepancy in the Super Lig table between the two teams, both Kasimpasa and Istanbulspor go into this match on the back of matchday eight victories - Kasimpasa defeated Sivasspor 1-0 away from home, while Istanbulspor claimed a 2-1 home win over Ankaragucu.
We say: Kasimpasa 2-1 Istanbulspor
Although Istanbulspor ended their losing streak last weekend with their first win of the season against Ankaragucu, Kasimpasa are in a better position having won three of their last four games.
Nevertheless, a strong performance is expected from Yakin and his team to carry the momentum from the last game.
