In a weekend match on Sat Feb 4th, in week 23, Sivasspor will host Beşiktaş in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Super Lig teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only -2 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, 13th placed Sivasspor, recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Alanyaspor. Mustapha Yatabare struck first for Sivasspor in the 32nd minute, then Mustapha Yatabare added another in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time In the end, Alanyaspor couldn’t muster any offence and Sivasspor ran away with the shutout win. Sivasspor looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while beşiktaş sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Fatih Karagümrük. Cenk Tosun struck first for Beşiktaş in the 33rd minute, but Magomed Ozdoev got the equalizer for Fatih Karagümrük in the 49th minute earning Fatih Karagümrük at least a draw. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Beşiktaş should be reasonably happy with their performance.
