Kayserispor are looking to bounce back after turning in a string of poor performances before the international break and end their three-game winless streak as they take on Rizespor at RHG Enerturk Enerji Stadyumu on Saturday.
Caykur Rizespor have also been on an up-and-down run in recent weeks prior to the international break, including a painful 5-0 defeat to Fenerbahce before returning to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Samsunspor.
We say: Kayserispor 1-1 Caykur Rizespor
Kayserispor's recent poor form is a major concern for head coach Ucar, but the fact that his team are still unbeaten at home this season gives him confidence for this match.
The two teams are not far apart in terms of quality, so the game can go either way given their current form.

Gaziantep will be looking for a second consecutive home win to lift themselves out of the relegation zone as they take on Antalyaspor at Kalyon Stadyumu on Saturday.
Conversely, Antalyaspor could climb into the top half of the table with a win, as they are currently just three points behind seventh-placed Trabzonspor.
We say: Gaziantep 1-2 Antalyaspor
Both teams go into this match following a 2-0 defeat in the last round, therefore they will be desperate for a win on Saturday.
Antalyaspor have shown more potential in recent weeks, with two wins from three games, and they are more likely to be favourites based on their current form.

Newly-promoted Pendikspor will begin life under new manager Ivo Vieira on Saturday when they face Konyaspor at Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadyumu.
The visitors arrive in Konya still winless after their first eight games in the top flight, leading to the sacking of Osman Ozkoylu during the international break, while the home side's last victory came at the beginning of September.
We say: Konyaspor 2-0 Pendikspor
Pendikspor have lost their last two away games and, considering they are missing some key players for this one, it will be extremely difficult for them to get their first win of the season this Saturday even with a new-manager bounce.
Konyaspor, although not quite convincing, have more to offer at the moment and will be favourites to end their four-game winless streak.

Galatasaray vs. Besiktas (Saturday, 5.00pm)

One of the biggest matches in the Turkish football calendar takes place on Saturday as Galatasaray welcome Istanbul rivals Besiktas to Rams Park.
The hosts would move top of the table for 24 hours at least with a victory, while fourth-placed Besiktas will be looking to make it two wins out of two under new interim boss Burak Yilmaz.
We say: Galatasaray 3-1 Besiktas
There may only be two places separating these two sides in the Super Lig table, but the feeling around the clubs is very different. Gala are in flying form, whereas Besiktas are going through a tumultuous period on and off the pitch.
The visitors should be boosted by their fans being allowed to attend after a ban on away supporters in Istanbul derbies was lifted ahead of this game, but the prospect of those supporters celebrating victory appears to be bleak.
Besiktas have the firepower to be dangerous, but they have also conceded nine goals in eight games so far this season and, against a Galatasaray side on such a good run, that could be the difference.
