Sunday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Kayserispor vs. Besiktas

Gaziantep vs. Sivasspor (Sunday, 10.30am)

Gaziantep will aim to halt an eight-game winless run in the Turkish Super Lig when they welcome fellow strugglers Sivasspor to the Kalyon Stadium on Sunday.

Trailing Gaziantep by four points in the table, Sivasspor find themselves in the relegation zone, owing largely to their poor away record this season.

We say: Gaziantep 2-1 Sivasspor

Although Gaziantep are without a league victory in eight games, this clash provides Bulut's men with the ideal opportunity to return to winning ways, given that Sivasspor are languishing in the relegation zone.

Alanyaspor vs. Karagumruk (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Alanyaspor and Fatih Karagumruk are separated by just three points in the Turkish Super Lig table as they prepare to do battle at the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts lead Andrea Pirlo's Karagumruk after 18 games, although both sides remain closer to the relegation zone than the European places ahead of this key mid-table clash.

We say: Alanyaspor 2-2 Fatih Karagumruk

Having netted 38 goals in 18 games, Karagumruk are among the Super Lig's top scorers this season, but they have also conceded 37, meaning they have the worst defensive record in the division.

Pirlo's side will be confident of extending their four-game unbeaten streak on Sunday, but Alanyaspor's home record is one of the best in the league, so we could see a high-scoring draw.

Kayserispor vs. Besiktas (Sunday, 1.00pm)

A resurgent Besiktas side travel to the Kadir Has Stadium on Sunday to face Kayserispor in the Super Lig.

The visitors have bolstered their chances of qualifying for Europe after an excellent set of results since the league's resumption.

We say: Kayserispor 1-2 Besiktas

Kayserispor may have turned a corner after two excellent wins in the last seven days, but this will be an even greater challenge against one of the 'Big Three'.

Besiktas will hope to put the disappointment of the penalty shoot-out defeat behind them and continue with their brilliant run of form in the league.

Trabzonspor vs. Istanbulspor (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Relegation candidates Istanbulspor have the arduous task of travelling to champions Trabzonspor in the Super Lig this Sunday.

It has been a disappointing title defence so far for Trabzonspor though, as they sit 10 points off the summit.

We say: Trabzonspor 3-0 Istanbulspor

An astronomical unbeaten run at home should continue here for Trabzonspor, as they attempt to claw themselves back into the hunt at the top.

Istanbulspor have been better away from home, but did suffer a 6-0 loss at Adana Demirspor just a few weeks ago, and an on-form Trabzonspor side are capable of producing something similar.
