Kayserispor take on Sivasspor in the final match of Turkish Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, May 26th at Atatürk Olimpiyat (Istanbul).
Kayserispor have not been able to show themselves in any way in the national championship for a long time. After repeating the personal record, 5th place in the Super Lig in 2013, the Stars of Anatolia were relegated to the First League and then return. And as a result, the team now tried, first of all, to prevent a new fall into the 2nd division of the country. The last season they ended 17th place, now there is only minimal progress. But on the other hand, having eliminated the risk of moving to a lower level, Karaman's wards focused on performances in the cup. By the way, it was there that they managed to take the only serious trophy, however, a long time ago, in 2008. Now Kayserispor finally has a chance to repeat this triumph. Moreover, the path of the team cannot be called easy. I had to go through 6 opponents, among which were such giants as Fenerbahce and Besiktas. And, most importantly, in the semi-final, having lost on the road to the leader of the Super Lig, Trabzonspor, at home, the Stars of Anatolia won the second leg with the score they needed, 4-2.

Sivasspor finished in the top five in both previous seasons of the Super Lig. And even made their way to European competition. However, they did not manage to break into the group round even in the Conference League. And in the championship in 2021/2022, they eventually rolled back to the middle of the standings. To brighten up the unfortunate season as a whole, Reza Chelymbay and his wards will try to win the cup. There, almost all the time the club was lucky with the draw. While "Kayserispor" was fighting with the giants on the way to the final, the "brave" knocked out only "Ankaraguca", "Bandirmaspor" and "Fatih Karagyumryuk". And in the decisive round, the semi-finals, Alanyaspor was defeated with a minimal advantage. Everything was decided there by a strong-willed victory on the opponent's field, when in the 92nd minute they scored the winner – 2-1. As a result, at home, having reduced to 1-1, "Sivasspor" was able to get into the final, which will be the first in history.
The day before, on May 21st, the teams warmed up by playing a head-to-head match in the last round of the Super Lig. However, by that time no one had tournament goals in the championship. In general, there is an approximate equality, "Kayserispor" and "Sivasspor" often exchange victories. Bookmakers consider the team's chances to be approximately equal. The fight should turn out not only equal, but also relatively spectacular - we bet on "total over 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
