Prediction published on 06/12/2021, 23:03  by Indran | Modified on 07/12/2021 at 00:03 in Super Lig Predictions

Altar Izmir welcomes Hatayspor to the Bornova Aziz Kocaoglu Stadium for this Matchday 16 encounter in the Turkish Super League. The home team are in 14th  position with 18 points while the visitors are in fourth position with 26 points. Altar Izmir desperately need a victory as they are just four points above the relegation zone and another loss could see them just one point above the drop zone. They have just two wins in their last ten matches across all competitions. Both those wins were in the Cup competition. They are now eight league matches without victory. Their last league win was in September when they beat Besiktas 2-1. Altay have had started their league campaign with three wins in their first four home matches but have not won in their next three home games. They have only scored two goals in those three matches.

Hatayspor are well placed in fourth position but are 12 points behind the runaway leaders Trabzonspor. Their best and most realistic hope for the season is to secure a place in the Champions League. They are currently in the Europa League qualifying position but their eyes will be on the bigger prize. Hatayspor are just one point behind the second placed Konyaspor. Victory in this match could take them into second position provided the teams in second and third place don’t win. Their season has faltered in recent matches with just one win in their last four matches and they will look to get back to winning ways.
