It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Qarabağ, who are travelling more than 1400 kilometers to play this game.
Sivasspor form and stats
Three Super Lig home games done for Sivasspor, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.
Sivasspor shared the glory with Hatayspor in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Preceding that match was a Europa League defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv (1-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sivasspor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Galatasaray are coming to town in three days.
Sivasspor has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 0 goals from 3 games. 4 goals have been conceded.
Qarabağ form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.Qarabağ are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses both home and away. Qarabağ are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Qarabağ go into this game after a win, the home game against Kesl FK that ended 6-1. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Villarreal.
As you can tell from the results above, Qarabağ was very dominant against Kesl FK, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-1 (!) with O. Kwabena, B. Hüseynov, F. Ozobić (2) and M. Emreli providing the goals.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Qarabağ playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Qarabağ win, zero draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Qarabağ manager Q. Qurbanov as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Neftci.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Qarabağ as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Qarabağ are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
