There is still plenty left to play for near the foot of the Turkish Super Lig table, and Caykur Rizespor will be all too aware of that as they prepare to welcome Gaziantep in a fixture that may prove vital in the relegation picture.
With five games to go, the hosts sit 14th, just three points above the drop zone, while the visitors are not entirely out of danger themselves, but an eight-point cushion offers some comfort.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 2-1 Gaziantep
Rizespor have been far more convincing at home this season and will see this as a must-win given their precarious position, and with Gaziantep losing 10 of their 15 away games, showing little sign of improvement on the road, it is hard to see them taking anything from this.

With the relegation picture in the Turkish Super Lig growing increasingly tense, Alanyaspor find themselves in the thick of it as they prepare to host an in-form but travel-shy Kayserispor.
While the visitors arrive with a solid unbeaten run behind them and a six-point cushion over the drop zone, the stakes are much higher for the hosts, who are inside the bottom four.
We say: Alanyaspor 1-1 Kayserispor
Alanyaspor are desperate for points and will see this as a must-win, especially with their remaining home games potentially decisive in the relegation battle, and while Kayserispor have been resilient lately, they continue to struggle on the road, but we believe they still have enough to earn a draw here.

Galatasaray welcome Sivasspor to Rams Park on Sunday in a clash that pits two sides at opposite ends of the Turkish Super Lig table, with very different priorities as the season draws to a close.
While the hosts are looking to pick up another win that will draw them closer to the title, the visitors are in search of a valuable point to boost their survival chances.
We say: Galatasaray 3-1 Sivasspor
Galatasaray are in imperious form and look relentless in their charge towards the title, and with home advantage alongside superior quality across the pitch, they should have too much for a Sivasspor side who have struggled badly on the road.

Having seen their five-year stay in the Turkish Super Lig officially come to an end last weekend, Hatayspor now find themselves playing purely for pride when they host Istanbul Basaksehir on Saturday.
The visitors on the other hand, have everything to play for, with European qualification still very much within grasp if they can hit another winning streak in their last five matches.
We say: Hatayspor 0-2 Istanbul Basaksehir
With Hatayspor already relegated and on a miserable run of five losses, it is hard to see them offering much resistance here against a Basaksehir side that will be determined to bounce back from their heavy loss at Goztepe and keep their European hopes alive.
