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

Eyupspor vs. Samsunspor (Sunday, 10.30am)

Despite a recent wobble at Eyup Stadium, Eyupspor's debut Super Lig campaign has started astonishingly, and they seek a return to winning ways in Sunday's gameweek 15 match-up with third-placed Samsunspor.

Arda Turan's team lost their last fixture at home, ending an unbeaten start in front of their supporters, but aim to respond against fellow high-flyers.

We say: Eyupspor 2-2 Samsunspor

Newly promoted Eyupspor have impressed with their home form, while Samsunspor have been formidable on the road. With both teams performing well and picking positive results, a draw seems the most probable result.

Sivasspor vs. Galatasaray (Sunday, 1.00pm)

With both sides looking to get back to winning ways, Sivasspor are set to play host to league leaders Galatasaray on Sunday at BG Group 4 Eylul Stadyumu in Turkey's Super Lig.

Bulent Uygun's Sivasspor are currently ninth in the table with 18 points from their 14 matches so far, while Okan Buruk's Galatasaray are first after 13 matches, having accumulated 35 points so far.

We say: Sivasspor 0-2 Galatasaray

Sivasspor can be expected to put up some resistance, but Uygun's team will likely be unable to hold out for the full 90 minutes.

Having drawn their last Super Lig game, Galatasaray will be aware of the pressure they are under from Fenerbahce in the title race, and Buruk's side will likely channel this into picking up all three points on Sunday.

Kayserispor vs. Alanyaspor (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Two sides looking to escape the shackles of relegation in the Turkish Super Lig will face off on Sunday when Kayserispor welcome Alanyaspor to Kadir Has Stadium.

The hosts are the first team in the relegation zone, but the visitors are only one spot and two points ahead, making this a relegation six-pointer.

We say: Kayserispor 1-1 Alanyaspor

Kayserispor are struggling at the moment and are on a downward spiral, while they have especially struggled on home soil.

With Alanyaspor's recent resurgence, we believe that the visitors have enough at the moment to take something from this game, which is why we are predicting a stalemate.

Istanbul vs. Hatayspor (Sunday, 4.00pm)

After finally putting an end to their winless run, Istanbul Basaksehir will hope to build on their recent victory when they host Hatayspor at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu on Sunday.

The Grey Owls won 4-1 on home soil against Goztepe last Saturday, in what was their first win across all competitions since September 27.

We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 Hatayspor

Even during their struggles, Basaksehir remained resilient on home soil, and it is no coincidence that their winless run ended with a home win.

The hosts will be too strong for the visitors who have been poor, especially on the road, which is why we are predicting a win for the home side.
