On Saturday afternoon, Giresunspor host Hatayspor in the Turkish Super Lig, with both teams looking to move closer to their objectives for the season.
Giresunspor are currently 14th place in the table, five points above the Super Lig relegation spots. The home team heads into this game on an inconsistent recent run of form in the Turkish top-flight.

They have won four of their last six games in the Turkish top-flight, though. However, a 3-1 defeat last time out at Istanbul Basaksehir was their second league defeat in three matches.
Their recent league matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six Super Lig games.
Giresunspor have a strong recent home record in the Turkish top-flight, winning four of their last five matches on home soil in the Super Lig.
Their recent home matches in the league have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in 11 of their last 14 Super Lig games.
Hatayspor are currently sixth-place in the Super Lig table, only behind fourth-place Fenerbahce and Adana Denispor courtesy of an inferior record to the pair.
A victory here would keep the visitor’s right in the fight for the European spots.
Omer Erdogan’s team head into this clash on the back of a woeful recent run of league form, as they have suffered four defeats in their last five Super Lig games.
The visitors have also conceded at least two goals in all four of those recent losses.
Hatayspor’s recent away record is a poor one, as the visitors have won just one of their last five matches on their travels in the Turkish top-flight, failing to score in three of their last four away games in the league.
Forebet predicts that Hatayspor will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their top-four chances his season.
