Kasimpasa vs. Konyaspor (Saturday, 5.15pm)

Kasimpasa host Konyaspor in Saturday's Turkish Super Lig opener keen to start the new campaign positively at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.
The hosts, who ended last term in fifth place, seek to build on the previous season's finish against a side that just about avoided relegation.
We say: Kasimpasa 1-1 Konyaspor
While we back a motivated Kasimpasa to end their losing streak against Konyaspor, the away side's superior match sharpness — they played five pre-season games to the home side's one — should prevent a league-opening loss at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.

Antalyaspor welcome newly promoted Goztepe SK to the Antalya Stadium on Saturday in gameweek one of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season.
The Scorpions finished mid-table last term and they aim to get off to a strong start in the hope of outdoing that position against an opponent that has not played in the top division for two years.
We say: Antalyaspor 2-2 Goztepe SK
While pre-season fixtures are typically not a reflection of what to expect in gameweek one, Antalyaspor and Goztepe averaging 3.0 goals per game in their off-season friendly games possibly point to a high-scoring fixture in Antalya this weekend.

Fenerbahce vs. Adana Demirspor (Saturday, 7.45pm)

After last term's near miss, Fenerbahce begin this season's Turkish Super Lig title chase against Adana Demirspor at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Saturday.
Supporters will undoubtedly troop in to catch Jose Mourinho's first league match in charge of the side even though Adana's new boss Michael Valkanis will be keen to ruin the mood in Istanbul.
We say: Fenerbahce 2-0 Adana Demirspor
Despite the imminent Champions League qualifying match with Lille, Fenerbahce are expected to secure a routine win over their opponents to extend their undefeated sequence against Adana to five with the away side's lack of pre-season friendly action counting against them in Istanbul.
