Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Yeni Malatyaspor in 8th and Sivasspor in 14th place.
- Yeni Malatyaspor have scored in all their home matches so far.
- Sivasspor have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Sivasspor when visiting Malatyaspor as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Malatya İnönü Stadyumu as Yeni Malatyaspor have scored 10 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Super Lig are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Malatyaspor are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Ankaragücü. Preceding that match was the home game against BB Erzurumspor that was lost 1-3.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

The manager H. Hamzaoğlu will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Kayserispor in only four days.
