Venue: Göztepe Gürsel Aksel Stadı

Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Göztepe in 9th and Sivasspor in 10th place.

Insights:
  • Göztepe have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Sivasspor have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

0-1-0 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sivasspor when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those one match are 3-3 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Sivasspor when visiting Göztepe as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

Göztepe's goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat was extremely busy against Ankaragücü, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
