These teams have met only two times so far. The first clash in 2002 was won by Sivasspor 1-0, while the most recent in September 2020 ended without a winner 1-1.

Istanbulspor Form

After being absent from the top flight for 16 years, Istanbulspor earned a promotion to the Super Lig last season. However, they might already lose the membership card in a couple of months.

Istanbulspor sit in 18th place with 21 points from 22 games, deep inside the relegation zone. They also hold the worst goal difference in the league (-22).

Defending has been a massive trouble for Fatih Tekke’s side. They conceded 45 goals, the highest in the Super Lig.

The current stats at home are two wins, two draws, and six defeats.

All players are ready to make an appearance on Monday.

Sivasspor Form

Sivasspor are having a great time on the European scene this season. They reached the Conference League Round of 16, but that journey could end really soon. Their first tie against Fiorentina in Italy ended with a 0-1 loss.

As for the domestic campaign, The Braves have underperformed in 23 rounds so far, grabbing only 24 points. That is just one point above the relegation zone.

A lot of their recent league games ended as high-scoring affairs: a 3-4 loss to Fatih Karagumruk, a 3-0 win at Alanyaspor, and a 1-2 loss to Adana Demirspor.

Sivasspor Team News

Mustapha Yatabare (ligament injury), Robin Yalcin (cartilage damage), and Cener Osmanpasa (leg injury) are going to miss this match.

Verdict

Istanbulspor v Sivasspor

The average number of goals seen in Sivasspor’s away games in the Super Lig is 3.25. Their most recent league appearance was a 3-4 loss to Fatih Karagumruk, so I am backing goals.
