Preview: Kasimpasa vs. Adana Demirspor - prediction, team news, lineups

Meanwhile, the visitors will be aiming to solidify their position at the top of the Turkish Super Lig, as they are currently level on points with Besiktas and Konyaspor.

Match preview

The hosts have had a mixed start to their campaign, winning four, losing four and drawing one of their nine fixtures so far which leaves them in ninth position.

However, they come into this weekend on a three-match unbeaten run, drawing with Trabzonspor after securing back-to-back wins against Umraniye and Gaziantep.

Senol Can's side have won two of their four games at home this season, however, tightening things up defensively is their main concern, conceding nine times in those four outings.

In fact, Kasimpasa have the worst goal difference in the division at -7, having shipped 15 goals - the joint-second highest tally in the league.

Meanwhile, Adana Demirspor currently sit joint-top of the league, level on points with Besiktas and Konyaspor.

Vincenzo Montella's side have won five of their nine games so far and are five points better off than their opponents on Saturday.

Last time out they could only muster a draw with Gaziantep, after Britt Assombalonga's strike was cancelled out by former Liverpool man Lazar Markovic.

They have only lost one game on the road this season - away to Fenerbahce - and have scored 10 times, which is the highest tally in the division.

As a matter of fact, that loss was Adana Demirspor's last defeat in the league, and it came back on August 22.

Since then, Montella's men have won three and drawn three of their following six games, and they will be aiming to keep their unbeaten run alive here.

Team News

Valentin Eysseric is suspended through an accumulation of yellow cards after the midfielder's caution against Trabzonspor.

Bengali-Fode Koita remains a doubt for the game, however, the rest of Kasimpasa's side could remain unchanged with them being unbeaten in their last six.

For the visitors, Benjamin Stambouli returns from suspension after his dismissal against Galatasaray.

Gokhan Inler remains a doubt for Montella's side but Stambouli could start alongside Badou Ndiaye in midfield, who has started every league game this season.

Kasimpasa possible starting lineup:

Taskiran; Hadergjonaj, Bruma, Ciftpinar, Ben Ouanes; Fall, Hajradinovic, Tirpan, Eysseric, Celina; Bahoken

Adana Demirspor possible starting lineup:

Ozbir; Svensson, Akaydin, Guler, Rodrigues; Stambouli, Ndiaye; Sari, Belhanda, Onyekuru; Assombalonga

We say: Kasimpasa 1-1 Adana Demirspor

Both sides are on an unbeaten run, and neither will want it to end here.

Adana Demirspor seem to struggle more defensively away from home, compared to on their own patch, however we still think they will have enough to get at least a point here.
