A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Sivasspor and Erokspor know what's at stake in this second leg of the Turkish Cup 5th Round clash.
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 Erokspor when visiting Sivasspor as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Sivasspor form and stats
Last season, Sivasspor's Turkish Cup journey ended in the 4th round.This stadium, Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium, has been a fortress for Sivasspor in the Super Lig so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-1-0. In general it's been a long time since Sivasspor tasted defeat here at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of seven straight victories regardless of arena.
The Sivasspor goalkeeper Ali Sasal Vural is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 187 minutes without conceding a goal in the Super Lig.
The Sivasspor supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Fenerbahçe in Super Lig and win 3-1. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Yeni Malatyaspor.
The manager R. Çalımbay will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Genclerbirligi in only four days.
Goals decide football matches and Sivasspor are scoring many of them at home; 18 on target from 8 league matches. From these home matches, Sivasspor have conceded only 5 goals.
Erokspor form and stats
Erokspor's mission in Turkish Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.As the visiting team in 3. Lig: Group 2 matches, Erokspor have produced an overall stat of 3-0-5 so far. Total Turkish Cup statistics for Erokspor: 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. It's looking increasingly bleak for Erokspor who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Kemerspor 2003 was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Erokspor's last three away games as they have all been lost.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 3. Lig: Group 2 home defeat versus Payasspor with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Erokspor manager H. Sevim faced defeat when travelling to Elaziz Belediyespor and losing 0-1.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 11 goals have been conceded by Erokspor in these games.
