Sivasspor will aim to end a wretched run of results in the Turkish Super Lig when they host a Samsunspor side that have also faltered lately, in Saturday's gameweek 17 clash at New Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium.

The away side should ideally be favourites heading into this, but the Red Lightning are entering this fixture with just one win in their last four league matches.

We say: Sivasspor 0-1 Samsunspor

It has been a poor couple of weeks for Samsunspor, but their quality is not in doubt, and their recent losses have come against sides that are currently enjoying better runs.

We are predicting a narrow win for the visitors, as we believe that Sivasspor will not be able to contain the away side and are on a worse run of form.

Besiktas vs. Alanyaspor (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Besiktas are hoping to recover from a shocking loss to Adana Demirspor in their last Turkish Super Lig game when they host Alanyaspor at Tupras Stadyumu on Saturday.

The Black Eagles conceded two first-half goals and could only pull one back in the second half in a game, while ending the game with 10 men after Tayyip Talha Sanuc was sent off in the 76th minute.

We say: Besiktas 1-1 Alanyaspor

It is a tricky tie for Besiktas, who saw their stock drop further after the loss to bottom-placed Adana, despite the victory over Fenerbahce in the previous week.

Given Alanyaspor's resurgence under Ugurlu, we believe that the visitors currently have enough to pick up a positive result in this clash, which is why we are predicting a stalemate.
