5 years ago 859

Hatayspor welcome Adana Demirspor to the New Hatay Stadium on Monday, with both teams having a dream of a top-four finish in the Turkish Super Lig standings.

The hosts will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five matches, while Adana Demirspor are seeking to claim back-to-back victories.

Monday’s hosts have hit their straps in recent weeks, with Hatayspor picking up eight points from their previous four matches.

After ending February with an impressive 5-2 victory over Yeni Malatyaspor, Hatayspor were involved in another thriller, when they drew 2-2 away to Gaziantep.

Goals continued to flow in their next fixture as they scored three against Fatih Karagumruk to take the victory before they held Besiktas to a 1-1 draw in their last fixture.

Michy Batshuay gave Besiktas an early lead before Hatayspor got back into the game through Saba Lobjanidze, and with no goals coming in the second half, the sides shared the spoils, leaving Hatayspor seventh in the table.

Omer Erdogan’s side return to familiar grounds on Monday, and after avoiding dfeat in their last five home league matches, they will be hopeful of recording a positive result against Adana Demirspor.

Meanwhile, Adana Demirspor are a point above their hosts, and they head to Monday’s contest in the fifth spot, with just one point separating them from the top four.

Monday’s visitors recorded mixed results in the month of March, with two defeats followed by a 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir.

Adana Demirspor got up and running through Tayyib Sanuc’s goal, but they were peggeg back by Danijel Aleksic before Birkir Bjarnason restored his side’s advantage to seal the victory.

With that victory ending a three-game winless run, Vincenzo Montella will hope his side can use the win as the momentum to end the season in a positive manner.

Hatayspor news

Ruben Ribeiro and Onur Ergun will both miss out for Hatayspor, with the pair suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Their absence could present Selincan Temel and Yassine Benzia with starting roles, while Lobjanidze is likely to feature after having scored in his last two club appearances.

Adana Demirspor news

Adana Demirspor’s Yunus Akgun will serve a one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation.

Meanwhile, Mario Balotelli is expected to return to the starting lineup after dropping down to the bench last time out, while Bjarnason could also earn a place in the starting lineup, who came off bench against Istanbul Basaksehir.

Prediction and Odds

With very little separating the two sides, this has all the makings of a tricky affair with both side seeking to keep their dream of a top-four finish alive.

However, Hatayspor have shown some resilience at home recently and we believe they are capable of recording a win or a draw.
