Sivasspor vs. Gaziantep (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Round five of the 2-24-45 Turkish Super Lig season will kick off with Sivasspor hosting Gaziantep at the New Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium on Saturday.
The hosts are entering this match following two consecutive defeats, while the visitors, who have played only two matches, are also coming off a loss.
We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Gaziantep
Sivasspor have enjoyed playing this fixture over the years and are unbeaten in their last five matches against Gaziantep – however, the visitors are enjoying a good run on the road, which is why we expect them to get a draw here.

Samsunspor vs. Konyaspor (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Samsunspor will host Konyaspor at Samsun's 19 Mayis Stadyumu in the fifth round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super League season on Saturday.
The hosts are entering this match, looking to build on a two-game winning streak, while the visitors are hoping to end a three-match winless.
We say: Samsunspor 1-1 Konyaspor
Konyaspor has been undefeated in this fixture across all competitions since 2005, however, many of the matches with Samsunspor since then have ended in a draw, and given this history and the recent form of both teams, we anticipate a draw in this clash.

Galatasaray vs. Caykur Rizespor (Saturday, 6.00pm)
Galatasaray will host Caykur Rizespor in round five of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season at Adams Park on Saturday, looking to keep their winning run going.
The hosts have won all three matches in the new league season so far, while the visitors are coming into this clash on the back of defeat in their last two games.
We say: Galatasaray 3-0 Caykur Rizespor
Galatasaray found their stride in their last match and have bolstered their attacking options, making them even more formidable favourites heading into this encounter.
Rizespor have appeared disjointed in their last two matches and seem to lack creativity, which does not bode well for them against a team as strong as Gala, and it looks like another resounding victory for the hosts.

Bodrumspor vs. Istanbul (Saturday, 6.00pm)
Bodrumspor will host Istanbul Basaksehir at the Bodrum Ilce Stadi on Saturday, in the fifth round of the 2024-2025 Turkish Super Lig season.
The hosts are coming into this match after a 2-0 defeat against Goztepe, while the visitors won 5-2 against Antalyaspor in their last match.
We say: Bodrumspor 1-2 Istanbul Basaksehir
Basaksehir are in the form of their lives and appear unstoppable at the moment, especially against a side like Bodrum that has struggled to adapt to the top-flight intensity and quality.
We expect the visitors to secure maximum points here, as they have been solid on the road, while the hosts have barely found the net, let alone picked up wins.
