Sivasspor have journeyed here for an action-packed duel against the home side Yeni Malatyaspor. Prepare for the match with this thorough Super Lig preview!

Insights:
  • Yeni Malatyaspor have the most conceded goals (12) in Super Lig
  • Sivasspor have yet to win a game.

It's no vacation for neither Malatyaspor nor Sivasspor 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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sivasspor have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats

Yeni Malatyaspor have played three Super Lig home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Yeni Malatyaspor's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Fatih Karagümrük (placed 3rd). A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Fatih Karagümrük) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Midfielder Mounir Chouiar was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.74 (out of ten) in that game. Chouiar scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Prior to that, an away loss at Beşiktaş.

This is expected to be a close game, with Yeni Malatyaspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Yeni Malatyaspor as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Yeni Malatyaspor has won five of these, drawn four and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Malatyaspor as they are travelling to their away game against Antalyaspor in the Super Lig. That match is four days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Malatyaspor's attacking play is working. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Malatyaspor having conceded 9 goals here at Malatya İnönü Stadyumu so far. Malatyaspor have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.

Sivasspor form and stats

The Super Lig season is young and Sivasspor 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. With three draws in a row for Sivasspor the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in Sivasspor's previous match, a Super Lig home game that ended 1-1 vs Gazisehir Gaziantep (placed 13th). Goalkeeper Muammer Yıldırım got the top player rating of the team with 7.31/10. Yıldırım stopped the opponent with four saves.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Fenerbahce.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Sivasspor in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Sivasspor, three draws and zero defeats.
