Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Turkish Super Lig fixtures, including Galatasaray vs. Ankaragucu.

Sivasspor vs. Hatayspor (Saturday, 11.30am)

Sivasspor welcome Hatayspor to 4 Eylul for a Turkish Super Lig encounter early on Saturday afternoon.

The club from Antakya, which was devastated in February's earthquake, have been sublime on their return to competitive action this season.

We say: Sivasspor 1-2 Hatayspor

Three of the last five meetings have ended 1-1, suggesting this will be a close encounter, but Hatayspor did win the only head-to-head last season 2-1 here.

The visitors enter the fixture in much better form too, and may just edge this encounter.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Early strugglers Istanbulspor welcome Antalyaspor to the Necmi Kadioglu Stadyumu for a Super Lig clash on Saturday.

An awful run of form has seen Istanbul's lesser-known top-flight club slip to 19th in the table ahead of the weekend's action.

We say: Istanbulspor 0-2 Antalyaspor

Istanbulspor have been on a rotten run with no points and no goals in their last three matches, as a relegation battle looks on the cards again.

Meanwhile, Antalyaspor are fresh from a win last weekend, which came after a narrow and unfortunate defeat at league leaders Fenerbahce, making them the favourites for this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Trabzonspor vs. Pendikspor (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Slow starters Trabzonspor welcome newly-promoted Pendikspor to Papara Park in the Super Lig on Saturday.

Another defeat last weekend has left the 2022 Turkish champions a long way adrift of the top already after just six weeks of the season.

We say: Trabzonspor 4-1 Pendikspor

In a first-ever meeting between these two sides, Trabzonspor come into it as heavy favourites despite an underwhelming start which has included some surprise defeats.

Pendikspor suffered a heavy defeat on the opening day, and were beaten comfortably by Adana Demirspor in their last away outing though, and despite the host's shaky form, they should still take the three points with little fuss.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Turkish champions Galatasaray prepare for their trip to Old Trafford in midweek with a home encounter against Ankaragucu in the Super Lig on Saturday night.

Gala relinquished top spot when Fenerbahce won their game in hand against local rivals Istanbul Basaksehir on Thursday, so the hosts cannot afford any slip-ups, even if there are obvious distractions on the horizon.

We say: Galatasaray 2-0 Ankaragucu

With the biggest game of the season coming up on Tuesday, Galatasaray may be forgiven for taking their foot slightly off the pedal here, but they must ensure they still get the job done.

It has been three shaky victories in a row now for Gala surrounding the start of their European campaign, but Ankaragucu have been far from scintillating so far and the hosts should comfortably take the three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
