Pendikspor, currently languishing in the lower reaches of the Turkish Super Lig table, will host Adana Demirspor at the Pendik Stadium on Sunday morning.
The home team enters this match buoyed by an unbeaten run of four league matches, while the visitors are enduring a winless streak that stretches across seven games in all competitions.
We say: Pendikspor 1-0 Adana Demirspor
Pendikspor seem to have found some fighting spirit in recent games and this has got them over the line. We expect this to be a close contest but the home side should edge this.

Kasimpasa and Alanyaspor will battle at Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium on Sunday afternoon, in a clash between two sides looking to make a late charge for the last European spot.
The visitors come into this game unbeaten in their last three league games, while the hosts were victorious in their last league outing.
We say: Kasimpasa 2-1 Alanyaspor
Despite their recent inconsistency, Kasimpasa boasts a historically dominant record in this fixture. We believe their quality will shine through, earning them a narrow victory.

The pick of the matches in the Turkish Super Lig this weekend will see Besiktas taking on Trabzonspor at Tupras Stadyumu on Sunday evening.
This could end up being a crucial match in the race to qualify for Europe next season between the hosts, who are currently in fourth place, and the visitors, who are ahead of them by a single point.
We say: Besiktas 1-1 Trabzonspor
Despite their lofty league positions, both these sides come into this match a long way from their best form. They have failed to win any of their last three league matches and are missing several key players either due to injury or international duty. There is nothing to choose between them at this moment, and we feel they will have to settle for a share of the spoils at the final whistle.
