Saturday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Galatasaray vs. Konyaspor

Sivasspor vs. Kayserispor (Saturday, 10.30am)

Sivasspor will welcome Kayserispor to the Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium in their Super Lig gameweek 21 fixture on Saturday, with both sides looking to end their respective winless spells and spark a resurgence in their fight against relegation.

The hosts are 15th in the table, winless in eight league games, while the 17th-placed visitors are looking to snap a four-game winless streak in the top division.

We say: Sivasspor 2-1 Kayserispor

Both sides are desperate to win to help them in their fight to beat the drop; however, the home side seems to hold the edge with their recent head-to-head record against the visitors.

Sivasspor have won their last three meetings and they remain unbeaten in six matches against the visitors. Therefore, we reckon Erdogan's team will claim a 2-1 victory.

Alanyaspor vs. Istanbul (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Alanyaspor will host Istanbul Basaksehir at the Bahcesehir School Arena on Saturday, aiming to maintain their impressive home form against the visitors.

Meanwhile, Basaksehir, fresh from a morale-boosting win, will be looking to secure consecutive Turkish Super Lig victories for the first time since early December.

We say: Alanyaspor 2-1 Istanbul Basaksehir

Alanyaspor's strong home form gives them the edge, but with Piatek returning to the XI, Basksehir should post more threat in attack, which is why we are predicting a win for the hosts, but expecting it to be a closely fought encounter.

Galatasaray vs. Konyaspor (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Galatasaray will aim to put a difficult week behind them as they welcome Konyaspor to Rams Park for a Turkish Super Lig clash on Saturday.

Cimbom have endured back-to-back draws in all competitions, squandering numerous chances in both matches, a situation that has left fans visibly frustrated.

We say: Galatasaray 3-1 Konyaspor

Galatasaray's issue is not a lack of goalscoring chances, but failure to take those chances, and with firepower available to them, the floodgates could open if the players find the right composure.

With this in mind, the hosts remain clear favourites for this clash regardless of their conversion rate and defensive complacency in recent times.
