Sivasspor manager R. Çalımbay and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Denizlispor (placed 21st) in the Super Lig. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Beşiktaş.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against BB Erzurumspor wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Benjamin Tetteh came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Ankaragücü last time out, making the manager İ. Buz feel like a tactical genius.

Malatyaspor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of ten matches.

A new game in only four days for Malatyaspor, the Super Lig home match versus Kayserispor. Busy days.
