The season is still fairly new and the Super Lig table has to be read with caution. So far Sivasspor find themselves in 7th position and Rizespor are placed 13th.
The hosts Sivasspor saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Europa League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Villarreal.
Sivasspor form and stats
Sivasspor are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Super Lig games here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu.
No payout for Sivasspor in their previous match, an away game at Villarreal that ended in defeat 3-5. Before that match, a Super Lig win away at Kayserispor.
A goal frenzy last time out for Sivasspor, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Villarreal. Fun stuff to watch! Mamadou Samassa had a busy but productive day in the Villarreal match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sivasspor matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and one defeat (from three games).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Maccabi Tel Aviv are coming to town in three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sivasspor at home in the league. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Rizespor form and stats
The Super Lig season is young and Rizespor have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Rizespor go into this game after a win, the home game against Ankaragucu that ended 5-3. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Alanyaspor.
Rizespor can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Ankaragucu. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 5-3 victory. Loïc Rémy scored the final goal. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Rizespor, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention Loïc Rémy's lethal finishing against Ankaragucu. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Rizespor playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.
0 goals so far away for Rizespor, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Sivasspor, five draws and three wins for Rizespor. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Sivasspor missing players
