Saturday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Besiktas vs. Hatayspor

Besiktas vs. Hatayspor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Two sides with contrasting ambitions clash when Besiktas host Hatayspor at the Tupras Stadyumu on Saturday in the Turkish Super Lig.

The hosts are chasing European qualification, while the visitors are desperate to climb out of the relegation zone.

We say: Besiktas 1-0 Hatayspor

Besiktas are in their pursuit of a European spot and with the two sides ahead of them facing off, this is the perfect opportunity to close the gap. The hosts are favourites here, and we expect them to edge it.

Ankaragucu vs. Pendikspor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Two teams battling relegation in the Turkish Super Lig will clash on Saturday when Ankaragucu host Pendikspor at the Eryaman Stadium.

The hosts are three points clear of the relegation zone, while the visitors are two points from safety.

We say: Ankaragucu 0-1 Pendikspor

Pendikspor are coming into this affair on the back of two wins in a row and are the form team between these two sides. The desperation to avoid relegation and their recent form makes the visitors the slight favorites in this one.

Caykur Rizespor vs. Kasimpasa (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Looking to keep their faint hopes of finishing inside the top four alive, Kasimpasa will make the trip to Caykur Didi Stadium on Saturday night to face Caykur Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig.

The Black Sea Sparrowhawks are enduring a worrying winless run of late, whereas the Apaches recorded a convincing home success over Antalyaspor last time out.

We say: Caykur Rizespor 1-2 Kasimpasa

Possessing the positive momentum and a greater need for victory, Kasimpasa should be on the front foot as they look to get the better of Rizespor on Saturday.

The hosts have been mightily impressive on their own patch this season, but we feel that the Apaches' desperate need of three points will result in an away success.

Samsunspor vs. Alanyaspor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Samsunspor will host Alanyaspor in the penultimate game of the season on Saturday.

Both teams have aspirations of a top-half finish in the Turkish Super Lig, giving them plenty to fight for in the final two fixtures.

We say: Samsunspor 0-2 Alanyaspor

This promises to be a close game between two teams who have had strong campaigns, but it is the visitors who head into the weekend in good form.

Alanyaspor have the chance to break into the top six with the final two games of the season, which is something they are capable of doing.

Gaziantep vs. Karagumruk (Saturday, 5.00pm)

It is a crucial match at the bottom of the Turkish Super Lig this weekend as Fatih Karagumruk makes the trip to face Gaziantep.

With both teams fighting for their survival, there is little margin for error with two games to go.

We say: Gaziantep 2-1 Fatih Karagumruk

There is a lot on the line for both of these teams this weekend, with each club fighting for survival in the Turkish Super Lig.

While it is guaranteed to be a close fixture because of that, the Gaziantep's recent form being slightly stronger could be the difference maker.

Istanbul vs. Trabzonspor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Two sides chasing European qualification will clash in gameweek 37 of the Turkish Super Lig when Istanbul Basaksehir host Trabzonspor at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors need to avoid defeat to guarantee a European spot, while the hosts must do the same to remain in fourth place heading into the final matchday.

We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-0 Trabzonspor

Basaksehir have been in incredible form and they have also won their last two home matches against the visitors. It's an important tie for both teams, which is why we expect it to be a tight affair. However, we think the hosts will edge this one.

Kayserispor vs. Konyaspor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Kayserispor and Konyaspor, both desperate to secure their top-flight status, go head-to-head at Kadir Has Stadium on Saturday.

With just two matches remaining, the hosts hold a four-point advantage over the relegation zone, while the visitors sit three points clear of the drop.

We say: Kayserispor 0-1 Konyaspor

Konyaspor have dominated this fixture and look rejuvenated under Camdali's guidance. Both teams will be fighting to secure their top-flight status but we think the visitors might edge this affair.
