Pendikspor take on Fatih Karagumruk at the Pendik Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in the latest round of Turkish Super Lig fixtures.
The hosts head into the game 17th in the table, having been unable to win any of their opening five games, while the visitors are up in 13th place.
We say: Pendikspor 1-1 Fatih Karagumruk
Fatih Karagumruk have collected two more points than Pendikspor in their opening five games, but they are now three games without a win, and they are struggling to find the back of the net.
The hosts have already drawn three games 1-1 this season, so it would not be a surprise if we see the same scoreline on Saturday afternoon.

Caykur Rizespor will be looking to continue their incredible start to the Turkish Super Lig season when they take on Sivasspor at the City of Rize Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
After being promoted from the second tier last season, the hosts are third in the league table, while the visitors have not made the best of starts, currently sitting in 14th place.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 1-0 Sivasspor
Caykur Rizespor have adapted to life in the Turkish Super Lig very well, winning their last three games on the bounce, while Sivasspor have looked unconvincing at the start of the campaign.
As such, we expect the hosts to extend their winning run to four games, but they are unlikely to run away with it, against an established Super Lig side.

Istanbul Basaksehir take on Galatasaray at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in the latest round of Turkish Super Lig fixtures.
After their opening four games, the hosts are 16th in the table, having made a slow start to the season, while the visitors are up in second place.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 0-2 Galatasaray
Galatasaray won the league title by an eight-point margin last season, and they have made a very solid start to the ongoing campaign, having won their last three league games on the spin.
Given that Istanbul Basaksehir have been very poor up to this point, we expect the visitors to record a relatively comfortable victory this weekend.

Two sides in desperate need of a win will face off this weekend as Antalyaspor welcome Samsunspor to Corendon Airlines Park for a Super Lig encounter on Saturday evening.
The hosts are currently in 15th place with just three points after their five matches of the season, while the visitors are second-bottom with just one point, though they do have a game in hand against most of the sides above them.
We say: Antalyaspor 1-1 Samsunspor
This is a crucial game for both teams, and we could see lots of chances created with both side's defence being far from solid this season. We are expecting a real dogfight here but feel that both sides will have to settle for a share of the spoils in the end.
