Our view

Kayserispor arrive with the stronger recent record and a clear lead at the top of the table, while Pendikspor have conceded regularly in recent weeks. The visitors' attacking output and the head-to-head history both point one way, though the draw with Batman Petrolspor shows they are not untroubled.

Most likely outcome: away win - Kayserispor's scoring rate and two wins from two against Pendikspor favour the leaders.
