The Super Lig title race takes up many column inches but the relegation fight in the Turkish top flight is equally engrossing. Two teams in horrendous form look to end nightmare spells with a win when Kasimpasa host Denizlispor on Monday. Four points from safety and second-bottom of the 18-team division, Kasimpasa are in good company when it comes to relegation worries. Half of the league are within four points of the dropzone. That includes Denizlispor, who are in 12th place and only that many points clear of those murky depths. If results continue as they have been going for Denizlispor, it's only a matter of time before they plunge into the doldrums. Without a league win since mid-December, their miserable run has gone on for seven games - and could yet go further.

Denizlispor have a woeful record against Kasimpasa, losing five of the last six matches between them. The previous three meetings have failed to even see a Denizlispor goal. A problem with chance conversion has gone on for a while now. Averaging less than a goal per game in the league, Denizlispor rely on ex-Wigan veteran Hugo Rodallega to supply the goals. The 34-year-old has been the best of a bad bunch, leading their scoring charts with five goals in 19 matches, none of which have been scored this year. There may be opportunities against Kasimpasa, a team that concede 2.23 goals on average per game. Fielding famous veterans like Ricardo Quaresma (now 36), Kasimpasa have lost 70 percent of their matches at home. Couple this with Denizlispor's away form (the fourth-best in the division) being their season ' s silver lining and it looks set up for an away triumph. Back Denizlispor.
