Monday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Galatasaray vs. Trabzonspor

Adana Demirspor vs. Besiktas (Monday, 4.00pm)

Still without a win, on a five-match losing streak, and stuck to the bottom of the Turkish Super Lig, Adana Demirspor will host Besiktas at the New Adana Stadium on Monday, hoping to find an inspiration that will help turn their season around.

Meanwhile, the visitors head into this clash having successfully ended a five-match winless streak with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fenerbahce last Saturday.

We say: Adana Demirspor 1-2 Besiktas

Besiktas are still finding their feet under the new manager, but we believe that the visitors have enough quality to overcome a team like Adana who have lacked ideas since the start of the campaign, which is why we are predicting a win for the hosts.

Galatasaray vs. Trabzonspor (Monday, 6.00pm)

Two sides on different trajectories in the Turkish Super Lig will face off when league leaders Galatasaray welcome Trabzonspor to Ram Park on Monday in one of Turkey's biggest football rivalries.

The hosts are unbeaten in the Super Lig this term, having won 12 and drawn two of their 14 matches, while the visitors have drawn half their 14 league matches, while winning just three.

We say: Galatasaray 2-1 Trabzonspor

Given the injuries that Galatasaray are dealing with right now, the game could be closer than expected, though we expect the hosts to still have enough to pick up a win here against a Trabzonspor side that are lacking in inspiration and confidence.
