Adana Demirspor vs. Karagumruk (Sunday, 10.30am)
Resuming their Turkish Super Lig campaign after the World Cup break, third-placed Adana Demirspor welcome Fatih Karagumruk to Yeni Adana Stadyumu on Sunday.
Both clubs returned to competitive action in the Turkish Cup this week, and while Andrea Pirlo's Karagumruk progressed, Vincenzo Montella's men were eliminated after an extra-time thriller.
We say: Adana Demirspor 2-1 Fatih Karagumruk
Though they have been frustrated by an inability to turn draws into wins, Adana Demirspor are tough to beat in the Super Lig, and have so far gone unbeaten at home. As Karagumruk have yet to convince under Pirlo's leadership, it may be the hosts that prevail as Turkey's top flight returns.

Gaziantep vs. Besiktas (Sunday, 1.00pm)
Gaziantep go in pursuit of their first victory in four head-to-head matches when Erol Bulut's side welcome Besiktas to the Gaziantep Stadium on Sunday.
The Black Eagles sit only two points outside the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification positions, while the hosts have only registered a quartet of league wins this season.
We say: Gaziantep 1-3 Besiktas
With Besiktas potentially able to call upon the services of Romain Saiss and Wout Weghorst after their expeditions in Qatar, The Black Eagles should have enough to overcome Gaziantep and continue their aspiration of participating in Europe next season.

Konyaspor vs. Alanyaspor (Sunday, 1.00pm)
Konyaspor will be hosting their first Turkish Super Lig match since the break for the Qatar World Cup when they face Alanyaspor this Sunday.
The home side are fifth in the league table after a solid start to the season, while the visitors are in ninth place.
We say: Konyaspor 2-1 Alanyaspor
While Konyaspor have drawn a lot of their recent matches, they are seven points clear of Alanyaspor in the table and should have enough quality to secure a win by a narrow margin against a team that really struggle defensively.
Not only that, but the visitors also have a very poor record away from home, so they will struggle travelling to one of the league's better sides.

Galatasaray vs. Istanbulspor (Sunday, 4.00pm)
One of the four Super Lig matches on December 25th sees Galatasaray host Istanbulspor in a local derby at the NEF Stadium.
This clash pits the sides second from top and second from bottom against one another.
We say: Galatasaray 3-0 Istanbulspor
Galatasaray are either clinical or unconvincing at the moment, but always seem to get the win, and a struggling Istanbulspor low on confidence will likely have no answer to their firepower.
With a clash against Fenerbahce coming in early January, Galatasaray will know how important three points here will be to keep the pressure on.
