Hatayspor vs. Adana Demirspor (Monday, 5.00pm)
The battle of the bottom feeders in the Turkish Super Lig unfolds on Monday as Hatayspor host Adana Demirspor at the Mersin Stadyumu.
Both Mediterranean sides are enduring dismal campaigns, though the hosts may feel slightly more optimistic, sitting just seven points adrift of safety, a more manageable gap compared to their visitors, who find themselves 14 points away following a punitive three-point deduction.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Adana Demirspor
Hatayspor have had a slightly better season compared to the visitors, but Adana Demirspor have shown increased resilience in recent times, which is why we expect a closely-fought encounter, with both sides likely to find the net in a stalemate.

Round 17 of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig will be wrapped up with a clash between two sides from the Marmara region, as Istanbul Basaksehir welcome Kasimpasa to the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu on Monday evening.
The Grey Owls have been quite dominant in this fixture, but this one feels a bit closer than ever, with just three points separating both sides, and the hosts struggling for consistency at the moment.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 Kasimpasa
Despite their struggles, Basaksehir have held strong on home soil, while they have also historically dominated Kasimpasa.
We believe that the game will be keenly-contested, but we expect the hosts to emerge victorious by a slim margin.
