Kasimpasa and Caykur Rizespor return to action in the Turkish Super League when they square off in a mouth-watering Christmas Day fixture on Monday.
Both sides are currently separated by just three points in the top half of the table and we anticipate a thrilling contest ensuing at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium.
Kasimpasa failed to return to winning ways last Wednesday when they were held to a goalless draw by Antalyaspor at the New Antalya Stadium.
This followed a somewhat disappointing 4-2 loss against league strugglers Samsunspor on December 9 which saw their two-match winning run come to an end.
Kasimpasa are currently ninth in the Super Lig table, having picked up 22 points from 16 matches so far.
Elsewhere, Caykur Rizespor turned in a performance of the highest quality last time out when they cruised to a 5-1 victory over bottom-dwellers Pendikspor.
Ilhan Palut’s men have now gone six consecutive games without defeat across all competitions, claiming four wins and two draws since a 2-0 loss against Gaziantep on November 6.
With 25 points from 16 matches, Rizespor are currently sixth in the league standings, two points behind fourth-placed Trabzonspor.
