Kayserispor will continue their quest to climb out of the bottom four when they host high-flying Samsunspor in round 19 of the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
The Anatolian Star missed the chance to secure a crucial win in their relegation six-pointer against Bodrumspor last time out, settling for a 1-1 draw.
We say: Kayserispor 1-1 Samsunspor
Kayserispor's home struggles and Samsunspor's recent dip on the road suggest a tight encounter, with both sides likely to cancel each other out.
With Kayserispor's recent resilience and Samsunspor's attacking quality, the game is likely going to result in an evenly matched draw at the Kadir Has Stadium.

Caykur Rizespor will look to deepen Hatayspor's struggles when they visit Mersin Arena for a Turkish Super Lig round 19 clash on Saturday.
Both sides come into this fixture on winless streaks, but the visitors remain favourites against a home team still reeling from the departure of Riza Calimbay in December and yet to appoint a new manager.
We say: Hatayspor 1-1 Caykur Rizespor
Both Hatayspor and Rizespor enter this clash struggling for form, making a tightly contested affair likely.
The hosts will aim to capitalize on their home advantage, while the visitors seek to arrest their slump while possessing better quality, but ultimately, a lack of clinical finishing on both sides could see this encounter end in a draw.

Besiktas will look to end their slump with a win over Bodrumspor in their first-ever meeting, as the two sides clash in round 19 of the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
The Black Eagles, still without a permanent manager since Giovanni van Bronckhorst's dismissal on November 30, have struggled to improve on the sixth-place position they held when the Dutchman departed.
We say: Besiktas 2-1 Bodrumspor
Besiktas are expected to capitalize on Bodrumspor's poor away form and defensive frailties, and with the Black Eagles regaining momentum after their Turkish Cup win, their superior quality and home advantage should see them edge out a struggling Bodrumspor side in what is expected to be a hard-fought victory.
