Trabzonspor hosts Sivasspor in round 11 of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Monday, December 7th at Medical Park Stadium (Trabzon)
The six-time champions of Turkey take a disastrous 14th place in the standings. Trabzonspor has no right to lose points if it wants to find itself in the European Cup zone at the end of the season. Now Abdullah Avci's men make too many mistakes in defense (15 conceded goals). The density in the Super League standings gives Trabzonspor hope for a successful continuation of the championship and the successful fulfillment of its goal. Trabzonspor's squad looks powerful by the standards of Turkish football. Such strong players as Nwakaeme, Afobe, Joao Pereira, Ugurcan Cakir, Vitor Hugo, and Ekuban are shining in the team. The club's young talents are promising, namely, Abdulkadir Omur, Yusuf Sari, and Serkan Asan.

In the previous season, Sivasspor took the lead in the standings for a long time. Now this team can only dream of such results. It occupies an intermediate 16th place in the Super League. With such indicators, it will be difficult for Riza Calimbay's men to win a ticket to European Cups. Moreover, Sivasspor currently represents Turkey in the Europa League, claiming a ticket to the playoffs. But in the local championship, the club has not known the taste of victories for five matches in a row. The team relies exclusively on experienced footballers, who must give stability in game performance. Sivasspor has difficulties with the latter. The leaders of the team in the current season include such players as Samassa, Kone, Gradel, Claudemir, Kayode, and Appindangoye.
Weak results of both clubs in the current season are explained by different reasons. Sivasspor places greater focus on the Europa League, and the team simply does not have enough strength in the local arena. Trabzonspor showed a general decline in terms of its condition, which led to a change in the coaching staff. Statistics from last head-to-head meetings speak in favor of a competitive duel with mutual chances of success. We think the team will manage to upset each other’s goalkeepers.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
