Basaksehir made it two wins on the spin as they comprehensively defeated Caykur Rizespor 2-0 at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium on Sunday.

Cagdas Atan's men took the lead through Dimitrios Pelkas in the 12th minute before Berkay Ozcan sealed the deal from the penalty spot in stoppage time.

As a result, the Grey Owls have moved up to fifth place in the Turkish Super Lig table, just two points shy of Besiktas in the race for European qualification.

On the menu next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who are without a victory in the last seven editions of this fixture, losing five of them.

Off the back of recently ending a two-game losing streak on the road, Saturday's visitors now go in search of consecutive victories away from home for the first time in over a year.

Hatayspor came away empty-handed from the third game running in a 2-1 defeat against Antalyaspor at the Corendon Airlines Park on Sunday.

Volkan Demirel's men went into the interval with a narrow advantage thanks to Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, only for Adam Buksa and Zymer Bytyqi to turn the game around with second-half strikes.

With 33 points picked up from as many matches so far, the Stars of the South sit 18th in the league standings, one point away from safety heading into the final five games of the season.

Ahead of a crunch relegation six-pointer against Gaziantep six days later, Saturday's visitors will be keen to avoid being left too far behind in the battle for survival.

Team News

Basaksehir's Efe Koyuncu is unavailable for this weekend's clash as he continues his spell on the sidelines with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Patryk Szysz also misses out for the hosts with a knee injury which has seen him out of action since the back end of the 2022-23 campaign.

Following his opener against Antalyaspor, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has now been directly involved in more league goals than any of his teammates, making him one to keep an eye on here.

Mehdi Boudjemaa missed the aforementioned game, but the French midfielder is expected to return to the visitors' matchday squad for this one.


Hatayspor possible starting lineup:
Kardesler; Ghoulam, Maksimovic, Kilama, Corekci; Matondo, Beyaz, Dele-Bashiru; Fernandes, Rivas, Strandberg

Istanbul Basaksehir possible starting lineup:
Sengezer; Duarte, Ba, Opoku, Sahiner; Souza, Ozcan; Turuc, Pelkas, Figueiredo; Piatek


SM words green background

We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Istanbul Basaksehir

Given their form heading into this one, Basaksehir are favourites to carry the day but Hatayspor are, by no means, any pushovers in front of their fans. We can see the teams cancelling each other over the course of the 90 minutes to settle for a point apiece in the end.
