Round 24 of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign pits relegation candidates Hatayspor against mid-table Alanyaspor at the Mersin Stadyumu on Sunday evening.
Both teams came away empty-handed from their most recent outings, but while that was a seventh loss in eight matches for the home side, the visitors suffered only their first defeat in the last four games.
We say: Hatayspor 0-1 Alanyaspor
Neither side have been free-scoring over the course of the campaign, and it would not be a surprise if Sunday serves up a drab affair.
That said, we are leaning towards a narrow win for the away side when all is said and done.

Two teams with contrasting fortunes will clash in a gameweek 24 fixture at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
European hopefuls Eyupspor will be chasing a win to boost their quest for continental football next season, while 16th-placed Kayserispor will continue their fight to stave off relegation.
We say: Eyupspor 2-0 Kayserispor
Arda Turan and his team have taken the Turkish Super Lig by storm, posting impressive results for most of the season so far.
Although they did suffer a loss in their last league outing, the home side are likely to see that as a blip in their charge towards securing European football next season.
Having claimed 11 wins this term, with seven of those coming at home, coupled with Kayserispor's poor form, we are backing Eyupspor to claim a 2-0 victory.

Two teams with contrasting ambitions in the Turkish Super Lig will face off when Konyaspor hosts Samsunspor at Torku Arena on Sunday.
The hosts are fighting to avoid the drop, with only four points separating them from the relegation zone, while the visitors aim to solidify their position as European contenders.
We say: Konyaspor 1-1 Samsunspor
Konyaspor's strong home form and dominance in this fixture should count for something despite Samsunspor arriving in better shape and form.
We expect a tight contest, with the hosts relying on defensive solidity while the visitors push forward, ultimately ending in a stalemate.

Fenerbahce will welcome Kasimpasa to the Ulker Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday, aiming for a vital victory to keep their Turkish Super Lig title hopes alive.
The Yellow Canaries currently trail league leaders Galatasaray by six points and will be determined to maintain pressure in the hope that their fierce rivals slip up.
We say: Fenerbahce 3-1 Kasimpasa
Fenerbahce's dominance over Kasimpasa is likely to continue, with Mourinho's side in imperious form – we expect the Yellow Canaries to create numerous chances via counter-attacks as Kasimpasa's leaky defence have struggled in these situations, making a comfortable home victory the most probable outcome on Sunday.
