Basaksehir vs Sivasspor Prediction & Betting tips
For the 32nd Round of the Turkish Süper Lig Basaksehir Istanbul receives the promoted Sivasspor. Since the end of the season is only three games away, Basaksehir must now get every point to take over as current runners up the lead of Galatasaray in the final spurt yet and perhaps to reach the championship yet. With the momentous defeat in the derby against Galatasaray Basaksehir fell back to third place in the table.
However, the distance to the leader is only a single counter. The catch-up can be quite successful, but it is also dependent on contactors. Sivasspor as last season’s climber can look back on a relatively successful course of the season as seventh in the table. With a bit of luck, Sivasspor could still improve two places up, the coveted Europa League places are with 15 points difference to 4th place but too far away. However, rank 5 could be enough if the cup final takes an exit as desired.
Basaksehir:
After a mixed season opener Basaksehir stabilized the benefits and was for the season long in the standings themselves. After the defeats in the derbies against Fenerbahce and Galatasaray and a devastating 1: 4 defeat against Alanyaspor fell back to third place. Visibly struck by the defeat against Alanyaspor succeeded a significant 1-0 win against Besiktas in their own stadium, because the following encounters against Akhisarspor and Malatyaspor were only just won and ticked off as a work won. Accordingly, Basaksehir could not develop total superiority. In addition, not enough chances were produced in the offensive, which was reflected in the meager number of goals. The following away defeat against Galatasaray seemed a wake-up call to do more for the offensive.
In any case, scored seven goals in the last two games, in return had to be registered for each a goal. Nevertheless, Basaksehir has repeatedly demonstrated tactical superiority by controlling the ball in his own ranks, and has been more effective in scoring chances, even though his superiority has still not been translated into significantly more chances to score. After all, Basaksehir now has the home advantage that the team under coach Abdullah Avci could always exploit at last four home wins in a row. In addition, Basaksehir lost just one game at home this season and won twelve out of fifteen games. Although the Elf of Basaksehir is injury free, but the important top striker Adebayor is yellow-locked, as well as the central midfielder Takdemir. Both are big losses and will miss in the upcoming game. But Basaksehir has shown that you’re capable of scoring goals on a regular basis, especially when you invest more forward.
Sivasspor:
Also Sivasspor had a bumpy start to the season, but could stabilize the form quickly. This led to the consolidation of a mid-table position. However, the form fluctuated a little last time, following a home defeat by Fenerbahce after a 0-5 swat against the relegation-threatened Konyaspor. This defeat seemed to have overcome Sivasspor but quickly. Sivasspor showed in the following two wins against Trabzonspor and Genclerbirligi that they have finally arrived in the highest Turkish league and are also strong teams to beat.
Anyway, Sivasspor could always get enough chances to score and was always goal-scoring. Despite their recent away win against Trabzonspor, Sivasspor has not always shone in opposing stadiums. Eight out of fifteen away games were lost. The 2-0 away win was not the result of Sivasspor’s superiority, but only a luckier chance analysis. Away Sivasspor received an average of 1.8 goals and scored even only 1.1 goals. The team is fully fit and coach Aybaba has all tactical options against Basaksehir.
