Team News

Sivasspor
Kayserispor
  • Other than Leke James, who has been sidelined for a while, manager Riza Calimbay has no injury concerns.
  • As these two sides will be facing each other in the Turkish Cup final on May 26th, Calimbay is likely to rotate here.
  • Dimitrios Kolovetsios will deputise for the injured Yildirim Mert Cetin.
  • As these two sides will be facing each other in the Turkish Cup final later this month, Hikmet Karaman is likely to rotate here.

Prediction

  • Sivasspor beat Rizespor 2-1 last time out. The quality gap between the two sides is so big that Calimbay's team didn't even need to go up a gear despite going 1-0 down. Sivasspor have never won a trophy before so players and manager alike will find it very difficult to not think about nest week's Turkish Cup final where they will face none other than Kayserispor. Expect a subdued performance and a low-tempo game.
  • Kayserispor brushed Malatyaspor aside 3-0 last time out. This was a typical Karaman performance where his team was effective in front of goal and organised in defence. Like his counterpart, Karaman couldn't care less about the final fixture of the Super Lig season as the only thing on his mind will be the cup final.
  • Neither team will want to risk any injury and neither manager will want to show their cards. A draw is very likely here.
