Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 1st placed Fenerbahçe, recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Dynamo Kyiv. Arda Guler struck first for Fenerbahçe in the 23rd minute, then Willian Arão added another in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time In the end, Dynamo Kyiv was frustrated by Fenerbahçe’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Fenerbahçe ended the match with the shutout victory. Fenerbahçe is on a hot streak lately, having won 8 of their last 10 matches, while sivasspor is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Antalyaspor. Erdoğan Yeşilyurt struck first for Antalyaspor on an own goal in the 18th minute, then Haji Wright added another in the 24th minute on a feed from Sam Larsson In the end, Sivasspor was frustrated by Antalyaspor’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Antalyaspor ended the match with the shutout victory. Sivasspor looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws each.
Dia Saba has been the most effective weapon for Sivasspor lately. The Israeli midfielder has netted 3 goals in his last five matches. Fenerbahçe is glad to have Michy Batshuayi in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals
