Sivasspor lost their last game at Kayserispor after a 0-3 scoreline. Sivasspor lost the game against Kayserispor in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that. Midfield player Fajr got a match rating of 8.0 in that game, the max score being 10. Fajr hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 88 successful passes (of 96 total).

In the match before that, Sivasspor hosted Rizespor and drew the Super Lig game 1-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Sivasspor's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost one.

Ankaragücü form and stats

Last season their Turkish Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

5-1-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Ankaragücü in their 1. Lig matches away.

Ankaragücü go into this game after a win, the home game against Keciorengucu that ended 2-1.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Boluspor at their stadium, the result 2-0.

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 Ankaragücü playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Ankaragücü have scored 14 goals in 10 league games away.
