Sivasspor hosts Istanbul Basaksehir in round 31 of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Friday, May 3rd at Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu (Sivas)
Sivasspor, which ranks 12th in the tournament standings now, has a certain margin so as not to get into the relegation zone, namely 6 points. There are only four matches left in this season, and two of them will be against the top teams of the league. On the one hand, currently, many Turkish clubs go with approximately the same number of points, and, theoretically, any team can still go down to the last three places. On the other hand, over the last ten matches in Turkish Super Lig, Sivasspor has gained only one victory. It became noticeable that the team had big problems with the attack. The only proven option for the club is to shut out, blocking and not allowing the opponent to penetrate in their box. And if you look at the last five personal meetings with the upcoming rival, you will see that the total of three goals has never been observed.

Istanbul Basaksehir still holds the first line of the standings, but the two closest competitors are pressing closely, and the margin is quite small. The last three games of the club were disgusting. The team got two losses and one draw. The last defeat (0: 2) was precisely to the team of Goztepe, which is struggling to avoid the relegation zone, and it occurred in the home field. On the one hand, if Basaksehir wants to guarantee the place in the Champions League without playing in the qualification, it needs to win even now, without letting its competitors get ahead. On the other hand, judging by the odds, bookmakers believe in the victory of Basaksehir not all that much, even if one takes into account the motivation of the team. I think we probably will not see a lot of goals. We may expect a shutout win of the visitors with a score of 0: 1, 0: 2 or a draw. Recently, their closest competitor Galatasaray played a goalless game with a team of the same level as Sivasspor. At the end of the season, the top clubs preserve players from injury; as a result, we see not very prolific football.
I think Basaksehir is set to win, but the team does not intend to give much strength in this meeting even after the first goal (of course, if it opens the account) and will certainly shut out the game. And the hosts will, by and large, defend the entire match, because their attack is very weak.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
