Sivasspor perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Göztepe can look both up and down from their 9th position.
It's no vacation for neither Sivasspor nor Göztepe 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.
This pitch has grass, which is not Göztepe's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Göztepe have performed like this: Played 31 matches resulting in 7 wins, 8 draws and 16 defeats with the goal stats 26-44 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Sivasspor form and stats
Sivasspor, who have the the best goal difference (+19) in Super Lig, have been outstanding at home so far in the Super Lig with 8 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. Sivasspor has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium. We remember; it was Gazişehir Gaziantep.
Sivasspor's last game was hosting Göztepe (placed 9th) and winning 1-0. A 2-2 draw away before that, with Genclerbirligi the opponent.
The Sivasspor manager R. Çalımbay has got the team scoring with 19 from 9 home games in the league. From these home matches, Sivasspor have conceded only 5 goals.
Göztepe form and stats
As the visiting team in Super Lig matches, Göztepe have produced an overall stat of 3-2-4 so far. Göztepe seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It might be tough going out on the road again for Göztepe, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Sivasspor (placed 1st). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Galatasaray.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Göztepe as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. 11 goals have been conceded by Göztepe in these games.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Sivasspor - Göztepe 1-0. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Sivasspor, 1 draw and 3 wins for Göztepe. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.Top Goalscorers
