Sunday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Samsunspor vs. Fenerbahce

Sivasspor vs. Hatayspor (Sunday, 11.30am)

Sivasspor and Hatayspor are separated by five places in the Turkish Super Lig table heading into Sunday's clash at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadyumu.

With neither side pulling up trees before the recent international break, they hope for a change in fortunes as the competition resumes this weekend.

We say: Sivasspor 2-0 Hatayspor

Although results have been mixed, Sivasspor will welcome facing an opponent with just one road win in the calendar year.

Thus, Uygun's men are anticipated to record their second triumph in front of their fans and extend their three-match undefeated run against Star of the South to four.

Besiktas vs. Konyaspor (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Besiktas are five points off Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig table entering Sunday's gameweek eight encounter with Konyaspor at Tupras Stadium.

With Gala playing a day earlier, the Black Eagles could be eight points adrift before taking to the pitch against a team observers expect them to beat.

We say: Besiktas 2-1 Konyaspor

Despite their winning streak against Konyaspor, Besiktas should not anticipate a straightforward game when they take on an opponent yet to fire blanks in away games. Regardless, the home side's superiority and Immobile's prowess in front of goal could decide Sunday's events in Istanbul.

Alanyaspor vs. Kasimpasa (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Alanyaspor will face Kasimpasa at Bahcesehir Okullari Arena in a Turkish Super Lig match on Sunday, aiming to return to winning ways.

The hosts suffered their third league defeat of the season in their last outing, while the visitors saw their winless streak extend to four matches with a third consecutive draw.

We say: Alanyaspor 1-1 Kasimpasa

Both teams are evenly matched across all key metrics on the Super Lig table, and while Alanyaspor have shown resilience in their home recently, Kasimpasa have also done the same in their away games, which is why we are predicting a draw.

Samsunspor vs. Fenerbahce (Sunday, 5.00pm)

High-flying Samsunspor will hope to maintain their impressive start to the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season when they host Fenerbahce at Samsun 19 Mayis Stadyumu on Sunday.

The Red Lightning are currently in second place, having accumulated 18 points, two points ahead of the Yellow Canaries who are fourth, having played one fewer game.

We say: Samsunspor 1-1 Fenerbahce

Both teams are entering this game with a point to prove, while also hoping to avoid a wider points gap between them and the league leaders.

With this in mind, both teams might adopt a cautious approach, and this is why we are predicting that the game will end in a draw, though we expect goals.
