Two sides separated by just one place in the Turkish Super Lig and looking to steer clear of the relegation battle go head-to-head as Sivasspor host Konyaspor at the New Sivas 4 Eylul Stadyumu on Saturday.
The hosts sit 15th in the table with 23 points, one spot above the drop zone and just one point behind their visitors, who are only slightly better off in 14th.
We say: Sivasspor 2-1 Konyaspor
Sivasspor will fancy their chances against a struggling Konyaspor side that are struggling on the road at the moment – a third straight defeat looks highly likely for the visitors, who have typically found it difficult to pick up positive results on this ground, which is why we expect the hosts to win.

Antalyaspor welcome Kasimpasa to the New Antalya Stadium on Saturday, aiming to extend their unbeaten run in the Turkish Super Lig to five matches.
The hosts have drawn three and won one of their last four league outings, sitting 13th in the table, and victory here would move them within a point of their higher-ranked visitors.
We say: Antalyaspor 1-1 Kasimpasa
Antalyaspor may be unbeaten in four, but their struggles in front of goal and inconsistent home form leave them vulnerable.
Kasimpasa have shown their resilience on the road, and they will have enough to earn a positive result as Antalya are not the strongest at home, which is why we are predicting a stalemate.

Samsunspor will aim to extend their winning run in the Turkish Super Lig to three matches when they host Caykur Rizespor at the Samsun 19 May Stadium on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the visitors arrive desperate to avoid a fourth consecutive league defeat that could leave them dangerously close to the relegation zone.
We say: Samsunspor 2-0 Caykur Rizespor
Samsunspor are building momentum and will be confident of securing a third straight win, especially against a struggling Rizespor side on a three-match losing streak.
With the visitors' poor away form—losing five of their last six on the road—the hosts should have the edge and claim a comfortable victory in this one despite missing their leading scorer.
