Sivasspor will look to extend their run of four unbeaten games when they take on direct rivals in the league standings in Kasimpasa at BG Group 4 Eylul Stadyumu on Sunday, as victory would see the home team move past the visitors in the Super Lig table.
Only two points separate Sunday's rivals, but a win could see Kasimpasa climb to fifth place, while seventh is the highest Sivasspor could end the weekend if results fall kindly for them.
We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Kasimpasa
Sivasspor are still looking for their first home win of the season and want to extend their unbeaten streak to four games.
Kasimpasa, on the other hand, are still unbeaten away from home and have a red-hot attacker in Kara in their ranks, and he could prevent Sivasspor's first win in front of a home crowd if he again proves his goalscoring qualities on Sunday.

Istanbulspor are desperate for their first win of this Super Lig season as they host Ankaragucu at Necmi Kadioglu Stadyumu on Sunday under the guidance of newly-appointed head coach Hakan Yakin.
While the home side are still waiting for their first win of the season, the visitors will be looking for their second consecutive victory after beating Kayserispor 3-0 before the international break.
We say: Istanbulspor 0-2 Ankaragucu
This is an intriguing showdown between two teams with newly-appointed managers that could develop into an exciting tactical duel.
Istanbulspor currently lack confidence, while Ankaragucu will be looking to build on the momentum of their recent 3-0 win before the international break, which could prove too difficult for the struggling home side to handle.

Bottom-of-the-table Samsunspor welcome fellow strugglers Istanbul Basaksehir to the 19 Mayis Stadyumu for a Super Lig clash on Sunday.
With two of the most feeble attacks in the division, the sides enter the matchday both inside the bottom six.
We say: Samsunspor 0-1 Istanbul Basaksehir
Neither side has a player in their ranks with more than one goal so far, highlighting their woes in front of goal, but Basaksehir may just have the edge in terms of quality to grab the points here.
Samsunspor must hope the arrival of Gisdol can have an instant impact, but they have not looked ready for this level at all so far this season.

Two sides preserving unbeaten starts meet at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul on Sunday, when Fenerbahce host Hatayspor in the Super Lig.
The hosts have been absolutely irresistible so far this season and have arguably the best record of any side in Europe so far.
We say: Fenerbahce 3-0 Hatayspor
No side in Turkey appears capable of stopping Fenerbahce in their tracks currently, and another unbeaten start may go here with a routine home win.
Hatayspor's start has been excellent, especially given the horrible circumstances surrounding the club over the past few months, and an expected defeat should not damage morale too much.
