Insights:
  • Sivasspor have the most conceded goals in the first half (22) in Super Lig
  • Ankaragücü haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

Sivasspor have less rest than Ankaragücü in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa Conference League game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Ankaragücü have had more rest.

Sivasspor form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super Lig this season. Sivasspor have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu.

The Sivasspor followers got no joy from their last fixture, a Europa Conference League duel also played here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu: A 1-4 defeat against Fiorentina. The gifted forward Yeşilyurt edged out all others in that match and received a match rating of 7.1 out of 10. Yeşilyurt scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Prior to that, an away loss at Istanbulspor (after extra-time) in the Super Lig.

Sivasspor are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 7 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Sivasspor has won 7 times, drawn 0 and lost 0. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Sivasspor has won by at least two goals 5 times when in this position.

Scoring bonanza? Who knows the future, but we do know that 10 of the 11 most recent league games with this club has had three or more goals.

Sivasspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. 13 goals have been conceded.

Zahid served one assist, hit five key passes and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Besiktas (after extra-time) wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
