Sivasspor form and stats

With 0 Super Lig wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Sivasspor, who have the fewest points (2) at home in Super Lig, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Sivasspor, as their goalkeeper Mamadou Samassa has completely shut out the opponents for 225 minutes in the Super Lig.

A good away victory last time out for Sivasspor, who won 1-0 against Konyaspor (placed 13th). Before that, Sivasspor had a Turkish Cup home game versus Giresunspor which ended with a victory 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sivasspor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost four.

There will be little rest for Sivasspor after this match as they are travelling to Besiktas for a Super Lig game in only four days.

Sivasspor has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 6 games. 7 goals have been conceded.
