Besiktas will welcome Caykur Rizespor on Sunday, aiming to seal their place in next season's UEFA Europa League by securing a top-four finish in the Turkish Super Lig.
The Black Eagles currently sit fourth in the table on 59 points, five clear of fifth-placed Istanbul Basaksehir with just two matches remaining.
We say: Besiktas 2-1 Caykur Rizespor
Besiktas have found form at just the right time and with Europa League qualification within reach, they should be fully motivated and secure the win against a Rizespor side that have been poor on the road and historically struggle in this fixture.

Fighting for survival in the Turkish Super Lig, relegation-threatened Bodrumspor will travel to face Kayserispor at the Kadir Has Sedir Stadium on Sunday.
The Anadolu Yildizi will be looking to bounce back from their defeat last time out, while the visitors will be desperate for their first win in five games.
We say: Kayserispor 1-1 Bodrumspor
Kayserispor have been impressive on their own turf in recent weeks, and they are unlikely to lose this weekend.
On the other hand, while Bodrumspor may be in poor form overall, their travelling record is commendable, so expect to see a close-fought contest on Sunday.

Konyaspor will be aiming to extend their impressive home run when they welcome relegation-threatened Alanyaspor to Konya Metropolitan Municipality Stadium for the penultimate matchday of the Turkish Super Lig.
While the hosts are already assured of top-flight safety, the visitors still have work to do, though they approach this encounter with their fate firmly in their own hands.
We say: Konyaspor 2-1 Alanyaspor
Although Alanyaspor have held the upper hand in recent meetings between the sides, they now face a Konyaspor outfit that has made their home ground a fortress, and with the hosts hitting three goals across their last two games at Konya Metropolitan, they are tipped to edge this contest by outscoring their visitors.

Trabzonspor vs. Samsunspor (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Samsunspor can confirm their place in the Europa League qualifiers should they avoid defeat in their penultimate Turkish Super Lig game on Sunday against hosts Trabzonspor at Papara Park.
The home side are seventh with 47 points but can no longer qualify for Europe after having drawn 1-1 with Bodrumspor on May 18, while third-placed Samsunspor have 60 points and occupy the first of two Europa League qualifier spots.
We say: Trabzonspor 0-2 Samsunspor
Trabzonspor's inability to reliably create chances could cost them on Sunday, and they may struggle to get back into the game if they concede first.
Samsunspor's form is strong, and they will be confident that they can take all three points given they have already beaten their hosts once this season.

With a Europa League spot still within reach, Istanbul Basaksehir will aim to pile pressure on the team above them when they welcome bottom-of-the-table Adana Demirspor on Sunday.
The hosts currently sit fifth in the Turkish Super Lig standings with 54 points, five adrift of fourth-placed Besiktas with two games remaining.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 4-0 Adana Demirspor
With Basaksehir chasing a Europa League spot and Adana enduring a historically poor season, this clash is heavily tilted in favour of the hosts.
The Grey Owls should have little trouble dispatching a side low on confidence, extending their unbeaten run against the visitors with a comfortable home victory on Sunday.
