Sivasspor vs Denizlispor Prediction & Betting tips
Bursaspor is arguably the only Turkish team that has been able to end the dominance of the four major clubs Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Trabzonspor since the establishment of the Süper Lig in 1959. The fact that there was certainly surprise potential this season can already be seen from the first round table. Sivasspor was in pole position there as autumn champion.
The “Yigidos” played a strong first half of the season, but have not found success since then. It was therefore only a matter of time before the soccer players from Central Anatolia gave up the championship lead. In the meantime Sivasspor has already slipped to fourth place in the table and now even has to fight for a starting place for the Europa League.
At the restart of the Süper Lig, the lead over the pursuers is only five points. On Monday evening, the “Yigidos” in Sivas 4 Eylül Stadium round off the 27th matchday of the Süper Lig with the match against Denizlispor. As the odds comparison on a betting basis shows, Sivasspor is favorite against Denizlispor according to odds.
After all, there was also clarity regarding the squad planning for the 2020/21 season during the long season break. Many top performers will leave the team, including Mert Hakan Yandas and Emre Kilinc. Not exactly the best news for the red-whites, especially since Sivasspor is theoretically still in the title race.
Sivasspor:
Sivasspor started this season with the right attitude. Under Riza Calimbay, born “Yigido” from the central Anatolian city of Sivas, there was a clear game system. It was therefore not surprising that the president of the club Mecnun Otyakmaz decided not to sell top performers during the winter break. After all, the red and whites were on course for the title.
According to the current Süper Lig table, a championship is still feasible for Sivasspor. Very few will share this optimism on the part of the “Yigidos”. The number of spectators this season already showed that the interest in the football club in the Central Anatolian city is not exactly high.
Various ticket promotions, such as discounted admission or even free tickets, have not changed anything. Sold out ranks were only to be expected in the home games against the four big clubs in Turkey. After a break of almost three months, the “Yigidos” will now have to do without their own fans. The home games are held against a ghost backdrop.
So far, the “Yigidos” had a record of 9-4-0 in 13 home games. This makes Sivasspor the only team in the Süper Lig that has never conceded a home bust. If the home game is won on Monday evening, Sivasspor is the strongest home team of the Süper Lig according to the home table. In three of the last five home games, Sivasspor has shared points.
Before the season break, the red and whites from Sivas also suffered an away loss at Antalyaspor. Riza Calimbay and his team want to avoid a form crisis at the end of the season, especially since the fourth place in the “Yigidos” table is still at risk. It remains to be seen which players the head coach of the Red-Whites can rely on.
After all, it was recently announced that top performers like Mert Hakan Yandas and Emre Kilinc are not planning for the coming season. Considering what a crucial role the two midfielders play in Sivasspor’s game system, it was not the best time for such a statement on the part of the Red and Whites.
Denizlispor:
Big points in the relegation battle! Denizlispor fought its way out of the crisis with seven points in the last three games and thus built up a comfortable point cushion before the season break. Now the cocks from Denizli want to add more and take countable things with them when restarting the Süper Lig. The Bülent Uygun team has to travel to Sivas.
Although the green-blacks would have fixed relegation at the green table in the event of a season break, the newcomer clearly spoke out in favor of resuming play in the Süper Lig. Among other things, this is also associated with the payment of TV money. The club relies on this financial security after the big summer break.
After all, 19 new players were signed up. Because the season for the newcomer was not going according to plan, two coaches had to cut sail. Bülent Uygun has been the new cock trainer since the beginning of March. So far, the results under Uygun are quite impressive. Among other things, Denizlispor scored in the away game against Fenerbahce.
The new head coach of the green-blacks recently improved his team’s offensive game. Before Bülent Uygun’s arrival, the roosters were sometimes the worst attacking division in the Süper Lig. Five goals in the last three games before the season break are therefore quite impressive. This should also be followed up in the upcoming away game in Sivas.
Bülent Uygun will have all his powers at the restart of the Süper Lig. Depending on the fitness of the players, it remains to be seen which starting eleven the 48-year-old coach will rely on.
