Off the back of a first defeat in six matches last time out, Caykur Rizespor will be looking to bounce back immediately when they welcome Samsunspor to Caykur Didi Stadyumu on Sunday.
The away side, on the other hand, set out to end a run of five straight league losses and get their Turkish Super Lig season back on track.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 2-0 Samsunspor
Rizespor's solid form on home turf makes them favourites to come out on top, especially taking into account Samsunspor's poor record on the road. We are backing the hosts to carry the day come the end of the 90 minutes.

Round eight of the 2023-24 Super Lig season sees city rivals Besiktas and Istanbulspor go head to head at the Tupras Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The teams have made highly-contrasting starts to their respective league campaigns but neither will want to come away empty-handed from this weekend's meeting.
We say: Besiktas 3-1 Istanbulspor
The gulf in class between the teams is significant and Istanbulspor have a mammoth task on their hands to get anything from Sunday's game. We are tipping Besiktas to cruise to a routine win.

Unbeaten in 10 straight matches across all competitions, Hatayspor entertain the challenge of Konyaspor at the Mersin Stadyumu on Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, the away side make the journey to Antakya this weekend aiming to end a three-game winless run in the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Konyaspor
There is not much separating the sides as things stand and this weekend's contest could easily swing either way. That said, we can see the teams cancelling each other out with honours even in the end.

Fresh from their success in the Golden Horn derby last time out, Kasimpasa will be aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to four matches in the Turkish Super Lig when they welcome pacesetters Fenerbahce to Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium on Sunday night.
The hosts are enjoying a positive start to the 2023-24 term having lost just one of their opening seven matches, whilst Fenerbahce are the only side in the division to have their 100% league record in tact.
We say: Kasimpasa 0-1 Fenerbahce
Kasimpasa have lost just one of their first seven matches in the Super Lig, however the Apaches are yet to face a side who can cut through a defence like Fenerbahce.
The Yellow Canaries made a raft of changes for the Conference League win in Slovakia on Thursday, meaning the league leaders' star names will be fresh and raring to extend the visitors' domestic winning run to eight matches.
