The rest of the round is spread across Sunday and Monday: on Sunday 13 September, Gençlerbirliği vs Kasımpaşa (17:00), Amed Sportif Faaliyetler vs Başakşehir and Galatasaray vs Kocaelispor (20:00); on Monday 14 September, Gaziantep FK vs Fenerbahçe (20:00).
FutbolRadar's assessment: with a match in hand at the top of the table, matchweek 5 is the round most likely to reshuffle the leading places. The advantage Beşiktaş built by playing early will be recast by the Saturday and Sunday results.
