Hatayspor form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Yeni Hatay Stadyumu as Hatayspor have scored 30 goals to get 30 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Super Lig are 9-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Hatayspor faced defeat in their previous match, away at Antalyaspor (1-4). Midfielder Benzia was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.15 (out of ten) in that game. Benzia hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 40 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Adana Demirspor.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hatayspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hatayspor as a small favourite), we find ten games. Hatayspor has won four of these, drawn four and lost two.

17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Sivasspor form and stats

5-3-8 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sivasspor in their Super Lig matches away.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Istanbul Basaksehir with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Goutas, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.6. Goutas won 10 of 12 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Giresunspor that ended 2-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Sivasspor in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Sivasspor, four draws and two defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sivasspor manager Çalımbay as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Alanyaspor.

The visiting Sivasspor have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 16 games. Sivasspor's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Sivasspor - Hatayspor 4-0 was the end result in these contenders' latest head-to-head game, earlier this season. Hatayspor-Sivasspor H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Hatayspor zero wins, Sivasspor one win, two draws. one of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5). The matches between these sides sometimes lean towards being aggressive, having seen 2 sending-offs from the last three encounters. One of the stars has been Yatabare with 4 goals scored against Hatayspor in these 3 matches.
