Kasimpasa will host champions Istanbul Basaksehir in the final round of matches in the Turkish Super Lig, seeking to rise a place higher in the standings. Going to this game, Kasimpasa are placed 10th on 40 points while Basaksehir have 69 points at the top of the standings. The highest Kasimpasa can rise is ninth, should they win and ninth placed Gaziantep FK loses away to relegation threatened Yeni Malatyaspor. Kasimpasa had a very poor run at some point in the season, registering just one win in 12 league matches but they have really improved in recent matches, winning seven of the last 11 and losing just one. They don’t have much to play for in this match but in the form they have had lately, they will want to get one over the new champions. Kasimpasa have scored two or more goals in nine of their last 11 matches and have kept seven clean sheets in the process. At home, they have not lost any of their last six matches, winning five of those and keeping five clean sheets too. In the last six home matches, Kasimpasa have scored 13 goals and conceded just one. Having struggled to establish a fluid home run in the opening 10 home games, when they won just one, they will want to finish strongly in this match. They have six home wins in 16 home league matches this season and five of the wins have come in the last six home matches.

Istanbul Basaksehir, having already won the league, don’t have much to play for in this game and with the Europa League coming back in August, they will be more concerned with resting key players. After winning their first ever Turkish championship, the celebrations will definitely be extended and this may affect their performance in the final match, but they won’t care. Five wins in the seven matches that came after lockdown served Basaksehir the title but it was the 1-0 win in their latest game, against Kayserispor that confirmed it after a shock loss to Konyaspor earlier. That loss came in their most recent away game and they will be hoping for a ninth away league win as they close the domestic season. However, with just two clean sheets in their last 10 away league matches, Basaksehir will have to do more to stop their hosts who have been doing well at home lately.
