Friday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Samsunspor vs. Galatasaray

Hatayspor vs. Karagumruk (Friday, 2.00pm)

Round 24 of the Turkish Super Lig kicks off with Hatayspor playing host to Fatih Karagumruk at the Mersin Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Both teams saw their winless streaks come to an end last weekend, and will be eager to build momentum going forward.

We say: Hatayspor 1-0 Fatih Karagumruk

Karagumruk's away form has been abysmal this season and this will give Hatayspor the upper hand in this fixture. The Star of the South will be looking to convert their home draws into wins, and this is the perfect opponent for them to achieve that.

Ankaragucu vs. Sivasspor (Friday, 2.00pm)

Action continues in the Turkish Super Lig as Ankaragucu and Sivasspor go head to head at the Eryaman Stadium on Friday.

Both teams are in midtable, and will look to steer further away from the relegation zone while closing the gap on the sides around the European spots.

We say: Ankaragucu 1-1 Sivasspor

Expect a close encounter, with both teams eager to secure points. Ankaragucu will be keen to swiftly recover from their recent defeat, while Sivasspor's impressive away form all season suggests they will put up a determined fight.

Samsunspor vs. Galatasaray (Friday, 5.00pm)

One of the Turkish Super Lig contenders, Galatasaray, will set sights on keeping the pressure on their rivals when they travel to Samsunspor this Friday.

Both teams head into the clash riding the crest of unbeaten runs, with the hosts aiming to pull off an upset and extend their gap from the relegation zone.

We say: Samsunspor 1-2 Galatasaray

Galatasaray have struggled away from home in recent games, but their sheer quality should prove too much for the hosts. The Lions are already in title-chasing mode, and that hunger should propel them to victory once again.
