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

Gaziantep vs. Antalyaspor (Sunday, 10.30am)

After their Turkish Cup victory in midweek, Gaziantep will now turn their attention to the Turkish Super Lig, with Antalyaspor visiting the Kalyon Stadyumu in Sunday's gameweek 17 encounter.

Selcuk Inan's charges have enjoyed a good run of form at home recently, but welcome an in-form Antalyaspor side who are enjoying their longest unbeaten run since January having won five and drawn one of their last six games in all competitions.

We say: Gaziantep 1-1 Antalyaspor

Despite both teams showing decent form and a knack for scoring goals in recent matches, neither has done enough to be considered favourites in this fixture.

Therefore, a stalemate is likely to be the outcome of this encounter, and we reckon both sides will play out a 1-1 draw.

Kayserispor vs. Galatasaray (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Struggling Kayserispor are set to host reigning champions and current Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray at the Kadir Has Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Having narrowly avoided relegation last season, the Anatolian Star find themselves in a similarly precarious position this campaign, and desperately in need of a turnaround, their prospects of revival appear bleak as they prepare to face the league's only unbeaten side.

We say: Kayserispor 1-2 Galatasaray

Considering Kayserispor's recent results at home in this fixture, and their tendency to turn up under the new manager, this is a tricky one for Galatasaray.

However, with the return of Osimhen, the visitors have more firepower, and we believe that will be enough to help them secure the win.

Goztepe SK vs. Caykur Rizespor (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Two teams who enjoyed a blissful midweek will face off on Sunday in round 17 of the Turkish Super Lig as Goztepe SK play host to Caykur Rizespor at Gursel Aksel Stadium.

Goz barely broke a sweat on their trip to Bucaspor on Thursday in the Turkish Cup, dominating the third division side in a 4-0 rout to advance to the next phase, while the Black Sea Sparrowhawk thrashed Vanspor 6-0 on Tuesday to reach the next round of the same competition.

We say: Goztepe SK 2-0 Caykur Rizespor

Despite failing to secure a win in their last two home meetings with the visitors, Goztepe's strong form at the Aksel this season cannot be overlooked.

Goz have won their last six games at home, making victory for the hosts this weekend a realistic outcome.

Trabzonspor vs. Bodrumspor (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Two sides desperate for victories to steer themselves clear of the Turkish Super Lig relegation zone will clash as Trabzonspor host Bodrumspor at Papara Park on Sunday.

Despite their contrasting statuses and expectations, both teams have endured similarly perilous campaigns, with the looming threat of relegation casting an unwelcome shadow over their seasons.

We say: Trabzonspor 2-1 Bodrumspor

Despite enduring a disappointing campaign thus far, Trabzonspor have demonstrated resilience in their home fixtures, and if they can replicate the level of performance shown in previous matches at home, they are likely to overwhelm a struggling away side like Bodrumspor.
