A high-stakes relegation survival battle takes place in the Turkish Super Lig this weekend when Sivasspor hosts Bodrumspor on Sunday.
Both teams head into this game tied on 34 points, though the hosts are ahead due to a superior goal difference, but they have also played one extra game.
We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Bodrumspor
Both sides are low on confidence and goals, but the stakes should bring out a fighting performance, with Sivasspor’s decent home form offsetting Bodrumspor’s strong away run, which is why we think a point apiece looks the most likely outcome.

Besiktas will be aiming to break into the top three when they welcome bottom-placed Adana Demirspor to Tupras Stadium on Sunday.
The Black Eagles are currently fourth in the Turkish Super Lig table, but a win this weekend will take them to the Europa League spot.
We say: Besiktas 3-0 Adana Demirspor
Besiktas should have no trouble seeing off a deflated Adana side, with confidence high and third place in sight, Solskjaer’s men are expected to dominate proceedings and pile on further misery for the Super Lig’s worst defence.

Goztepe SK, aiming to strengthen their position in the Turkish Super Lig standings, will host already-relegated Hatayspor at the Gursel Aksel Stadium on Sunday evening.
The hosts sit seventh in the table with 46 points, 12 clear of the relegation zone but nine points adrift of the European places, while the visitors have already had their demotion confirmed.
We say: Goztepe SK 4-1 Hatayspor
Goztepe may have failed to defeat Hatayspor in their last three meetings, but given the significant difference in their league seasons and current form, we expect a commanding victory for the hosts.
