Super Lig: Göztepe expected to win home game against Sivasspor

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Sivasspor have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from three matches. It's quite the trip for Sivasspor when visiting Göztepe as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
