The Turkish Super Lig resumes on Tuesday, with Istanbul Basaksehir hosting Sivasspor in a gameweek 17 clash at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
Both sides battle a week after the league's suspension after Ankaragucu's now-banned president, Faruk Koca, punched referee Halil Umut Meler after their home match against Caykur Rizespor.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 Sivasspor
With 10 goals scored in their last four at home, Basaksehir are averaging 2.5 goals in Istanbul, and their scoring prowess on home turf should see them claim consecutive league wins for the first time since June, ending their two-game winless run against Sivasspor.

Cellar-dwelling Istanbulspor welcome Europe-chasing Trabzonspor when the Turkish Super Lig resumes on Tuesday, with the round 17 clash to be played at Esenyurt Necmi Kadioglu Stadium.
Both sides face off a week on from the competition's suspension after Ankaragucu's now-banned president, Faruk Koca, punched referee Halil Umut Meler after their home match against Caykur Rizespor.
We say: Istanbulspor 1-2 Trabzonspor
While Trabzonspor may not score as many as three this time, the fourth-placed outfit should have too much for the league's bottom side.

Two teams who could really do with a win at the moment go head to head in round 17 of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig season, as Gaziantep welcome Adana Demirspor to the Gaziantep Stadyumu on Tuesday.
The hosts have been beaten in three of their last four matches, while the visitors are winless in five consecutive outings across all competitions.
We say: Gaziantep 1-2 Adana Demirspor
Given their record in this fixture, Adana Demirspor will fancy themselves to come out on top, and we can see the visitors getting the job done at the sound of the final whistle, albeit by only a narrow margin.
