sportsmole.co.uk, 13 April 2024, 05:50
Kasimpasa vs. Konyaspor (Saturday, 11.30am)

Two sides with varying ambitions will open the floor for Saturday's Turkish Super Lig action, as Kasimpasa host Konyaspor at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.

The hosts are one point off the final European spot, while the visitors are just two points above the relegation zone with seven matches left to play this season.

We say: Kasimpasa 1-1 Konyaspor

Kasimpasa aim to return to winning ways at home after a three-game winless run. Despite their attacking prowess, a leaky defence might cause problems. Konyaspor are winless in three but unbeaten in two away games. We expect a close encounter and feel this might end in a draw and the visitors have a solid record here in recent times.

Ankaragucu vs. Gaziantep (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Round 32 of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig season sees Ankaragucu and Gaziantep face off against each other at Eryaman Stadium.

Both teams are looking to ensure they remain in the top-flight for another season, with hosts just three points above the relegation zone, while the visitors are among the bottom four.

We say: Ankaragucu 1-1 Gaziantep

Ankaragucu seek home advantage against Gaziantep, with both sides desperately needing points to escape relegation. However, the hosts have historically struggled in this fixture and we expect this to play a role here, with both sides settling for a draw.

Adana Demirspor vs. Kayserispor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Two mid-table sides will face off when Adana Demirspor welcome Kayserispor to the New Adana Stadium on Saturday evening.

Both sides are separated by three points, with the hosts in 11th place while the visitors are 13th in the Turkish Super Lig table.

We say: Adana Demirspor 1-0 Kayserispor

Adana Demirspor aim to recover at home after a loss. Despite their strong home record, they have historically struggled against Kayserispor. However, the visitors are struggling at the moment due to a lack of attacking firepower. We expect a close match, with Adana edging it due to home advantage.

Besiktas vs. Samsunspor (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Besiktas will be looking to hold on to fourth position when they welcome Samsunspor to Tupras Stadyumu on Saturday evening.

The hosts are winless in their last four matches, while the visitors have failed to win in their last two matches.

We say: Besiktas 1-0 Samsunspor

Besiktas aim to end their winless streak against a Samsunspor side poor on the road. Despite Besiktas' recent home struggles, Samsunspor's away record is atrocious. Expect a tight game, but Besiktas' home advantage should see them edge it.
