Sivasspor form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super Lig this season. Sivasspor have only managed 1 win, 5 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu.

A strong away win for Sivasspor against Kasımpaşa the last match, as Saba and Gradel were on target. At last, a league victory after four fixtures without one. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Çalımbay when Gradel scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute. Goutas was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.45 out of 10. The defender Goutas won 7 of 7 duels.

A win at home before that, as anticipated. The team were big favourites against Erokspor and won 5-2.

Sivasspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
