Match preview

Antalyaspor picked up their first win of the year with a 1-0 victory over Pendikspor on Tuesday, ending a three-match winless run.

Sergen Yalcin's men had their backs against the wall for large spells of the contest but did well to come away with maximum points courtesy of Bahadir Ozturk's 19th-minute strike.

Amassing 28 points from 19 games, the Scorpions sit eighth in the standings, just four points off the last European spot.

Currently on a run of eight competitive home games without defeat in all competitions leading up to Sunday's affair, the hosts will be keen to extend their streak against one of the league's high-flyers.

However, they have recorded just one win in their last five meetings with the visitors, losing to them three times in that period with one draw to go along.

Trabzonspor extended their unbeaten run to six matches in all competitions with a 2-1 victory over Samsunspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Thursday.

Abdullah Avci's men went into the interval with a two-goal lead following strikes from Filip Benkovic and Paul Onuachu, while they managed to hold on for maximum points despite Samsunspor's Taylan Antalyali halving the deficit from the spot in second-half stoppage time.

Having won 11, drawn three and lost five of their 19 Turkish Super Lig games, Trabzonspor are currently sitting in third position and four points clear of fourth-placed Besiktas.

The Black Sea Storm will hit the road for another away clash this weekend, aiming to stretch their unbeaten streak away from home to seven games, while also chasing a fourth consecutive win on enemy turf.
