Istanbul vs. Antalyaspor (Sunday, 5.15pm)

Istanbul Basaksehir and Antalyaspor will face off in a Turkish Super Lig clash on Sunday evening at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu.

Both teams have four points so far, but the hosts have this tally from two matches while the visitors have played three.

We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 2-0 Antalyaspor

Basaksehir are in excellent form, having embarked on an eight-match unbeaten streak at the start of the season - their impressive run extends back to the previous campaign, making them strong favourites to secure a victory against Antalyaspor in this clash.

The visitors, under new management, are still finding their footing and may struggle to match Basaksehir's momentum.

Eyupspor vs. Trabzonspor (Sunday, 5.15pm)

Eyupspor will host Trabzonspor at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium on Sunday evening in a Turkish Super Lig clash.

The hosts are unbeaten after their first three matches, while the visitors have only played one game due to their European commitments.

We say: Eyupspor 1-1 Trabzonspor

Eyüpspor have made a strong start to the season, showing no fear against any opponent, and this is why we believe they could secure a draw against a Trabzonspor side that has struggled to score goals in their matches so far this season.

Hatayspor vs. Samsunspor (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Hatayspor will be desperate to secure their first win of the season as they face Samsunspor in a Super Lig clash at their temporary home, Mersin Stadyumu this weekend.

Their opponents will look to build on the solid start under their new manager having picked up three points from their first two games.

We say: Hatayspor 2-1 Samsunspor

Hatayspor, despite their struggles, have shown some attacking promise and will benefit from their past success against Samsunspor at home, so we're backing the hosts to come out on top.

Besiktas vs. Sivasspor (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Besiktas will look to build on their strong Super Lig start as they host Sivasspor at Vodafone Park this weekend, following a dominant win over Lugano in the Europa League qualifiers and a solid domestic start.

The visitors face a tough challenge at a venue where they have historically struggled, compounded by their recent inconsistent form.

We say: Besiktas 3-1 Sivasspor

Besiktas have been in outstanding form, both domestically and in Europe, and their daunting home record against Sivasspor, who have struggled at Vodafone Park in recent years should ensure a dominant win.
