After suffering defeat in their Super Lig game, Istanbul Basaksehir will be hoping to quickly bounce back when they take on Eyupspor at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu on Monday afternoon.
However, the visitors, who won their last league game, are entering this clash hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat on the road.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-1 Eyupspor
Istanbul appear short of confidence at the moment, especially in attack, and this is likely to affect their ability to exploit Eyupspor's defence – though we ultimately believe that both teams will end the game in a draw as they are on about the same level at the moment.

Two of the Turkish Super Lig's title candidates will face off on Monday at RAMS Park when champions Galatasaray host Besiktas in their 10th league game of the season.
The champions have 25 points and beat Antalyaspor 3-0 in their most recent league outing on October 19, while the visitors are third after eight matches with 20 points and beat Konyaspor 2-0 on October 20.
We say: Galatasaray 3-1 Besiktas
Given Besiktas' mixed away form of late, it is difficult to see how they manage to avoid defeat against the champions on Monday.
Considering Galatasaray's impressive goalscoring feats, it would not be surprising if they scored multiple goals against the visitors in front of their home crowd.
