Turkish League Previews 31: Can Anyone Catch Galatasaray?

Three points is all that separates the top four heading into round 31 of the Turkish Super Lig. Leaders Galatasaray take on Besiktas who are tied in second-place just a point behind the Lions. Fourth-placed Fenerbahce meanwhile take on Kasimpasa in the mini-Istanbul derby.

Our current record for picks stands at 76 wins 58 loss.

Kasimpasa vs Fenerbahce

Fenerbahce keep grinding out victories and remain very much in the title race. The Yellow Canaries have not been playing the most aesthetically pleasing football under Aykut Kocaman but it is results that matter. It is worth pointing out that a victory could temporarily at least take the visitors into first place. This is an Istanbul derby – of sorts. Kasimpasa have lost just one of their last six home games and will try to raise their game as is so often the case when the big boys come to town. Fenerbahce have been so unpredictable this season and disappoint when you least expect. I see them beating Kasimpasa but expect it to be scrappy.

Prediction: Fenerbahce Win

Antalyaspor vs Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor will have to win if they want to move into 5th place. Star names Okay Yokuslu, Yusuf Yazici and Abdulkadir Omur will have to keep putting on impressive performances if they want to move to Europe over the summer.

Prediction: Trabzonspor Draw No Bet

Malatyaspor vs Akhisar

Osmanlispor vs Basaksehir

Osmanlispor have been on a bit of a role of late in a last-ditch bid to escape relegation. Basaksehir meanwhile, have the small matter of trying to lift the league title to contend with. I am going for a surprise. I just feel the pressure is going to get to the visitors in the last few games.

Prediction: Osmanlispor Draw No Bet

Galatasaray vs Besiktas

Prediction: Konyaspor Draw No Bet
