A stumbling Konyaspor will be hoping to move out of the drop zone in the Super Lig when they face off against Kayserispor at Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadyumu on Sunday evening.
The hosts are currently in 17th place in the league standings, with 15 points after the first 16 games of the season, while the visitors are third with 29 points over the same period.
We say: Konyaspor 1-2 Kayserispor
Kayserispor have been excellent since the arrival of Recep Ucar, and while they did concede their first loss since the new boss's arrival against Fenerbahce last week, they went toe-to-toe with the league leaders and were somewhat unlucky not to have got anything from the match. We are expecting another top-notch performance from the visitors in this one and fancy them to edge this match by the odd goal.

We say: Adana Demirspor 1-1 Antalyaspor
With Adana Demirspor and Antalyaspor on the same points, we anticipate a thrilling contest with both sides taking the game to each other. Sahin's side have been rock-solid lately but Demirspor have a good home record and have dominated this fixture in recent times.

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray meet in an eagerly-anticipated Intercontinental derby in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
In the 398th meeting between the sides, this is the first of two clashes between the sides to end 2023, before they reconvene to compete in the Turkish Super Kupa on December 29.
We say: Fenerbahce 3-3 Galatasaray
With absolutely nothing to separate the sides points-wise in the league table, calling the winner in this enticing encounter is a thankless task.
Wednesday's high-scoring win took Fener's goal tally to 78 in just 28 matches this season, and Gala have been noted for their open, expansive style of play too, so this could be a fixture for the ages, even if it ends level.
