Sunday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Besiktas vs. Goztepe SK

Sivasspor vs. Kasimpasa (Sunday, 10.30am)

Kasimpasa begin life under new manager Hakan Keles when they travel to Sivasspor in the Turkish Super Lig this weekend.

The Istanbul side agreed to mutually part ways with former boss Sami Ugurlu earlier this month, with the 46-year-old swiftly moving on to join Alanyaspor.

We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Kasimpasa

The visitors are unbeaten away from home so far this season, with even Galatasaray being held to a 3-3 draw with them earlier in the season.

Although Sivasspor have matched expectations so far this season, we think Kasimpasa will begin the Keles era with a 1-1 draw.

Konyaspor vs. Hatayspor (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Relegation candidates Hatayspor will be looking to breathe new life into their Turkish Super Lig survival bid when they face Konyaspor at Konya Metropolitan Municipality Stadium on Sunday.

The visitors picked up their first league win of the season in their last game before the international break, and will hope that any momentum has carried through to this match against a Konyaspor side that conceded twice in stoppage time to lose against Goztepe last time out.

We say: Konyaspor 2-0 Hatayspor

Both sides have had difficult starts to the campaign and will be hoping their recent managerial changes can help them climb up the league table.

However, with seven defeats already this season for the visitors, we expect that trend to continue this weekend in a relatively comfortable home win.

Samsunspor vs. Alanyaspor (Sunday, 1.00pm)

After seeing their seven-match unbeaten run in the Turkish Super Lig end, Samsunspor will hope to pick up the pieces when they welcome Alanyaspor to the Samsun 19 May Stadium on Sunday.

The Red Lightning are enjoying a great start to the campaign, and they will hope that the loss to Galatasaray is just another blip rather than the start of a downward spiral.

We say: Samsunspor 3-1 Alanyaspor

Samsunspor lost to a superior team last time out, but their performance would have been good enough to win against most of the other sides in the league, and we believe they have enough to claim a victory against a struggling Alanyaspor.

Besiktas vs. Goztepe SK (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Two sides separated by one spot will go head-to-head in the Turkish Super Lig when Besiktas welcome Goztepe SK to Tupras Stadyumu on Sunday.

The Black Eagles are coming into this clash on the back of a goalless draw with Istanbul Basaksehir just before the international break.

We say: Besiktas 2-1 Goztepe SK

Besiktas have been solid at home and we believe that their recent home defeat was just a blip, which is why we are predicting a win for the hosts against Goztepe, who have been poor away from home this season.
