Team News

Sivasspor
Galatasaray
  • Aaron Appindangoye is sidelined with a long-term injury and will not be available until the second half of the season.
  • Isaac Cofie and Ziya Erdal will deputise for the injured Fredrik Ulvestad and suspended Ugur Ciftci respectively.
  • Leke James, who wasn't expected to start against Galatasaray, is also injured.
  • DeAndre Yedlin will continue to deputise for the injured Sacha Boey at right-back.
  • Olimpiu Morutan is likely to start as Alexandru Cicaldau is unavailable due to illness.

Prediction

  • Sivasspor beat Alanyaspor 1-0 last time out. Calimbay's team's performances have shown massive signs of improvement in recent weeks. Moving Osmanpasa to right-back strengthened the defence and the introduction of youngsters such as Kesgin in the starting XI added much needed dynamism to their game.
  • Galatasaray were held to a 2-2 draw by Altay last time out. They had no trouble creating chances, but looked very fragile at the back. Then, on Thursday night, they had one of their best defensive displays so far this season against Lazio and managed to get a point in Italy. Such inconsistency has marked Terim's season so far and it is difficult to see which one of those Galatasarays we will be watching against Sivas.
  • The Lions will be exhausted after the Europa League tie against Lazio. Sivasspor are slight favourites here.
