Galatasaray vs Sivasspor Prediction & Betting tips
The Süper Lig as she lives and lives. As in the years before the title aspirants start very badly and can not exploit the point losses of the rivals. Beneficiaries are Anatolian clubs, who, after the weak start to the season by the big clubs, count chances for a possible international start right.
In recent seasons but was always a familiar picture. Alleged surprise teams collapsed in the second half and thus gambled away the big chance of the international coup. After the international break is now the eighth matchday in the Süper Lig on. Championship favorite Galatasaray wants to present at home to Sivasspor on Friday night and advance to second place in the table.
The bookmakers see Galatasaray vs Sivasspor according to odds in favorite role. After recent rather weak appearances of the “Lions”, the prices for a home victory seem to have no value. The guests from Sivas have indeed made a strong start to the season and are bursting with self-confidence on the wave of success.
Galatasaray will already be thinking of the Champions League game against Real Madrid. Many high achievers have returned late from their national teams, so it would probably not be unlikely if “Imperator” Fatih Terim makes some changes in the starting eleven. Under the current circumstances, an outsider bet is therefore highly recommended.
Galatasaray:
“Imperator” Fatih Terim returned to his team after his suspension and wanted to break the international with three points. However, the capital club has thwarted the Turkish record champions. Thus, the “Fatih-Terim effect” was missing in the recent league game against Genclerbirligi.
The “Lions” also scored a goalless draw against the capital club. Although Galatasaray had more of the game, the better chances had the opponent. In total, the hosts from Ankara shot 20 shots. Keeper Fernando Muslera was as usual a sure support and saved the “lions” thus from an away defeat.
Three important times have meanwhile left important points. Only Heimremis in the intercontinental derby against Fenerbahce will be for the “lions” result technically to cope.
In front of home crowd Galatasaray against Sivasspor is now in demand. All season Galatasaray has not lost since 39 home games in the Süper Lig. Home advantage is accordingly capitalized by the “lions”.
In the attack, Galatasaray was very harmless in the end. In the previous seven league games Galatasaray has created only nine clear goals after “OPTA”. Thus, there were only 0.7 clear chances for the Turkish championship per game. The “Lions” are the second worst offensive team after Ankaragücü.
Galatasaray had especially against low opponents significant problems in the offensive game. So the “lions” remained harmless even in the recent league game against Genclerbirligi. Only two of the eleven shots went to the goal of the opponent.
Now Fatih Terim will also have to revolve before the important Champions League match against Real Madrid. Some national players have returned late from the international break and will therefore probably not start. These include Andone, Nagatomo and Feghouli.
In addition, next week is also the city derby against Besiktas, which is why Fatih Terim has been announced in advance to want to spare battered players. Accordingly, Falcao and Lemina are unlikely to be operational.
In addition, behind a Luyindama mission is a big question mark. Mariano conceded his fifth yellow card and is suspended against Sivasspor. Four top performers are therefore likely to miss the home game against Sivasspor.
If you look back on the recent performances of the “Lions”, not much speaks for a Galatasaray against Sivasspor prediction on the home side.
Sivasspor:
If the “atom ant” is at work, it simply runs at the Anatolian clubs. At least in the recent past, Riza Calimbay knew how to convince. Since his dismissal at Rizespor in 2014, Calimbay has posted a score of over 1.0 for each Turkish club. The “Atom ant”, as Calimbay was called on player time, is currently at Sivasspor at a cut of 1.71 points per game.
Sivasspor lost just one league game under Calimbay this season and is literally riding the wave of success under the new coach. The Anatolian club flourishes under Riza Calimbay and already offered the top clubs in the Süper Lig Paroli. Sivasspor has won against Besiktas and Trabzonspor and has also played draw against away runners Basaksehir.
In foreign countries, the “Yigidos” are without victory, but have recently taken points against league leaders Alanyaspor. Before the international break Sivasspor won the home game against Ankaragücü 3-1 and has been unbeaten for five league games in a row.
The offensive game system under Riza Calimbay has been well received by Sivasspor. The “Yigidos” have scored at least one goal in each Süper Lig game. With three goals each, Andrade, Yatabare and Yandas are among the most dangerous players in the squad. Porto loan Fernando Andrade is on offense probably the most important point of reference.
On the wings, the Brazilian caused a sensation again and again, as did Emre Kilinc, who had to take a break due to injury. In the away game in Istanbul Kilinc will be available again. For this, Abdou Traore moves back to the bench. Appindangoye, Ciftci and Kilinc face a suspension in the event of another yellow card in the upcoming game.
Calimbay will be able to draw on the full. Big changes will not be expected against Galatasaray. Sivasspor plays as strong as in the previous games against the top clubs, even with the stumbling “lion” will be a point win for the “Yigidos” feasible.
