Monday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Fenerbahce vs. Istanbulspor

sportsmole.co.uk, 24 April 2023, 05:00
Giresunspor vs. Istanbul (Monday, 3.00pm)

Sitting perilously close to the dotted line in the Turkish Super Lig standings, Giresunspor host Istanbul Basaksehir on Monday, at Necmi Kadioglu Stadium.

The home side are embroiled in a tight relegation battle with games running out to ensure safety, while their visitors still occupy fifth place despite a recent downturn.

We say: Giresunspor 0-1 Istanbul Basaksehir

As Giresunspor tend to struggle in the final third, one goal could be enough for Basaksehir to take advantage of their hosts' woes on Monday and take all three points home to Istanbul.

Fenerbahce vs. Istanbulspor (Monday, 6.00pm)

Fenerbahce welcome Istanbulspor to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium for an Istanbul derby on Monday evening.

Fener remain in the Super Lig title race despite the formidable form of league leaders Galatasaray.

We say: Fenerbahce 4-0 Istanbulspor

The league's leakiest defence may have a very difficult evening keeping out the division's most potent attack, who have the runaway top scorer in the form of Enner Valencia in their ranks.

A win is the only acceptable result for Fener, who must claim three points to stay in touch with Galatasaray.

Antalyaspor vs. Sivasspor (Monday, 6.00pm)

Antalyaspor welcome Sivasspor to the Antalya Stadyumu for an important Super Lig clash on Monday.

Despite sitting in mid-table, neither club is safe from relegation yet with six rounds of games to go.

We say: Antalyaspor 2-2 Sivasspor

Both sides have been in fine form in front of goal but still leave a fair bit to be desired in defence, so goals could be on the cards here.

With three points being so crucial considering how tight it is near the bottom, a draw is not ideal for either side, but the two could cancel each other out here.
