Istanbul Basaksehir were building up some solid momentum over the last month, securing three straight victories over Konyaspor and Istanbulspor before booking their place in the Turkish Cup quarter-finals with a penalty-shootout win over Hatayspor last week.

However, The Grey Owls saw their positive run of results brought to an end last weekend when they were fairly comfortably beaten by league leaders Galatasaray 2-0 at Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi.

Cagdas Atan's side will now look forward to returning to their home patch, where they have excelled this season, losing only twice in their last 10 matches while winning five of their last seven.

While Basaksehir failed to win or score in either of their last two matches against this opponent, both those fixtures were at the Kadir Has Stadium, while the last encounter at this venue ended 2-0 in favour of the hosts.

Meanwhile, after going 10 games unbeaten (W8 D2 L0) between October and December last year, it is now just one day shy of two months since Kayserispor last tasted victory in any competition.

Kayserispor have managed to collect 12 points out of a possible 36 in their away matches this season, and the new manager will now be aiming to end their five-game winless streak (W0 D1 L4) on the road.

A win for the visitors is crucial here as their recent winless run has seen them drop to just two points of Gaziantep FK, who are currently the first side below the dotted line.

While Istanbul Basaksehir are carrying better form into this match, Kayserispor are still unbeaten under Burak Yilmaz and would have taken huge confidence from their performance against Besiktas last week. This looks like a very level contest on paper, and we feel there will be nothing to split these two at the final whistle.

Predictions: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-1 Kayserispor
