Team News

Sivasspor
Fenerbahce
  • Marcelo Goiano is Calimbay's only injury concern. Robin Yalcin is expected to start at right-back.
  • Serdar Aziz was injured in the second half of the Ankaragucu game and will be assessed prior to kickoff. If not deemed fit, Mauricio Lemos will deputise.
  • As Ozan Tufan and Mert Hakan Yandas are suspended, and Jose Sosa, Tolga Cigerci, and Ferdi Kadioglu are injured, Caner Erkin might start in midfield alongside Luiz Gustavo.
  • Enner Valencia will start on the right wing as Sinan Gumus is sidelined with injury. Diego Perotti and Gokhan Gonul are also injured, but neither were expected to start against Sivasspor.
  • January arrivals Mesut Ozil and Attila Szalai are not expected to make their debut just yet.

Prediction

  • Sivasspor held Basaksehir to a draw last time out. The game was played under heavy snowfall which benefited Sivas's aggressive style. Calimbay's team's performance has improved immensely in recent weeks. Lately, Fajr and Arslan have been superb in midfield, and Gradel has been a menace to opposition defenders. Calimbay will be conservative in his approach, absorb pressure in his own half, and hit Fenerbahce with counters. With their opponents midfield crippled with injuries and suspensions, Sivasspor will control the midfield and are likely to get at least a point.
  • Fenerbahce beat Ankaragucu 3-1 last time out. The quality gap between the two sides is so big that the result didn't surprise anyone. However, Bulut lost another midfielder, arguably his best, Tufan to suspension which means, with so many other midfielders injured, he will have to field a very weakened midfield. The morale at the club is high especially after the signing of Ozil, however the German star will need to train for some weeks before being match-fit.
  • Against teams that play an attacking football, Sivasspor perform really well and so have the potential to cause a major upset here. They should be able get at least a point here, if not all three.

  • Although they would not be in the starting XI, Sosa and Gökhan are recovered from injury.

  • Mert Hakan served his suspension in the previous match so he will be in the midfield next to Gustavo and Caner will start in the left-back instead of Novak.
