Venue: Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu (27532 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Super Lig, with both Sivasspor and Denizlispor experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 19th place.

Insights:
  • Denizlispor has the most conceded goals in the first half (16) in Super Lig

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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Denizlispor have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
