- Sivasspor is in the best form (5-1-0)
- Beşiktaş have the most scored goals (72) in Super Lig
It's no vacation for neither Sivasspor nor Beşiktaş as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sivasspor form and stats
5 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Sivasspor have to build on here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu in the Super Lig. In general it's been a long time since Sivasspor tasted defeat here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league. Sivasspor has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Alanyaspor defeat 79 days ago.
Before that, Sivasspor had a home game versus Konyaspor which ended with a victory 3-1.
The game against Gençlerbirliği had lots of late drama as Sivasspor came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Pierre-Yves Polomat's goal in the 90th minute. A late climax in the match against Gençlerbirliği as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Pierre-Yves Polomat.
There will be little rest for Sivasspor after this match as they are travelling to Denizlispor for a Super Lig game in only four days.
The Sivasspor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Sivasspor have conceded only 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Beşiktaş form and stats
Beşiktaş, who have the most scored goals (72) in Super Lig, have an excellent away record in the Super Lig so far with 10-2-4 from 16 games.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus BB Erzurumspor at their stadium, the result 4-2.
Drawing 2-2 against Ankaragucu after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Yalçın needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
A quick return to home after this game, as Beşiktaş are hosting Kayserispor in the Super Lig only three days away.
The Beşiktaş manager A. Yalçın has got the team scoring on the road, with 34 away goals in 16 league matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Beşiktaş have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
