A key match in Super Lig as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Sivasspor in 1st position and Istanbul Basaksehir placed 2nd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
The hosts Sivasspor saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Turkish Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Antalyaspor.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Sivasspor form and stats
Sivasspor, who have the most points (26) at home in Super Lig, have been outstanding at home so far in the Super Lig with 8 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses.
The home team returns to Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu after being equal after 90 minutes with Antalyaspor (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Turkish Cup game ended 0-0. A Super Lig defeat was the result before that one, 1-5 away at Gazisehir Gaziantep.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sivasspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sivasspor as a small favourite), we find six games. Sivasspor has won two of these, drawn three and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Antalyaspor are coming to town in four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (20 in 10 games), Sivasspor's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Sivasspor have conceded only 6 goals.
İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats
4-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for İstanbul Başakşehir in their Super Lig matches away.
Enzo Crivelli and Edin Višća (2) scored in İstanbul Başakşehir's previous match, the home game against Genclerbirligi that ended 3-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fenerbahçe wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by İstanbul Başakşehir in our archives, and the results are: two wins for İstanbul Başakşehir, two draws and one defeat.
