Team News

Sivasspor
Konyaspor
  • Erdogan Yesilyurt, who served his suspension, is expected to start at right-back, as Murat Paluli is injured.
  • Max-Alain Gradel had to be subbed off with an injury against Fenerbahce in the midweek cup tie. He will be monitored and if deemed unfit, Ahmed Musa will start.
  • Ziya Erdal, who wasn't going to start here, is also sidelined with an injury.
  • Dimitrios Goutas, Fredrik Ulvestad, and Mustapha Yatabare have served their suspensions and will return to the starting lineup.
  • Endri Cekici, who wasn't expected to start here, is sidelined with an injury.
  • Ahmet Oguz has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Sivasspor were beaten 2-0 by Galatasaray last time out. This was their fourth loss in a row and are now dangerously close to the relegation zone. They were eliminated from the Turkish Cup by Fenerbahce and therefore can now fully focus on securing enough points to stay up. With key names back from suspension, they are likely to get at least a draw here and put an end to their horrid form.
  • Konyaspor managed to beat Alanyaspor 3-0 last time out. Strong finishing brought them the three points. In general, things have been improving under Stanojevic and Konyaspor are once again one of the stronger sides in the Super Lig. Here, however, they will be facing a Sivas side that has everything to lose. This is going to be a very tough 90 minutes for the visitors.
