Sivasspor will come into the game following on from a 5-1 Super Lig win to defeat Adana Demirspor in their last fixture.

In that game, Sivasspor had 44% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Sivasspor, goals were scored by Rey Manaj (13', 17'), Garry Rodrigues (48'), Turaç Böke (68') and Efkan Bekiroğlu (76'). On the other side, Adana Demirspor got 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Salih Kavrazlı (35') scored for Adana Demirspor.

The stats don’t lie, and Sivasspor have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 9 goals in total. In defence, Sivasspor seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, though.

Looking at their past form shows that Sivasspor:

• remain undefeated by Çaykur Rizespor in games played away from home for the previous 3 matches in the league.
• are without a win away from home in their last 8 league games. Very poor, indeed.

📰 Team News: Sivasspor

Sivasspor manager Riza Çalımbay has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Fodé Koita (Torn thigh muscle), Djordje Nikolic (Meniscus tear), Mehmet Albayrak (Fitness), Emrah Başsan (Fitness) and Emirhan Başyiğit (Ill) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that Sivasspor are certainly able to find the net against this Çaykur Rizespor team, however it might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re going for both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Çaykur Rizespor at the end of the match. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
