Göztepe will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 21 points behind 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.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Sivasspor's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Sivasspor have performed like this: Played two matches resulting in 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat with the goal stats 3-4 (scored/conceded).

Göztepe are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Sivasspor are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
