Aaron Appindangoye is sidelined with a long-term injury and will not be available until the second half of the season. Isaac Cofie is expected to deputise for the injured Faycal Fajr. Ziya Erdal, who wasn't expected to start against Adana Demirspor, is also sidelined with an injury. Manager Vincenzo Montella has a full squad available to pick from.
Sivasspor are undefeated in 25 of their last 28 matches (Super Lig). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Sivasspor's last 3 games (Super Lig). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Adana Demirspor's last 3 away games (Super Lig). Sivasspor are undefeated in their last 6 matches against Adana Demirspor in all competitions.
Sivasspor were held to a 2-2 draw by Antalyaspor last time out. Sivas were uncharacteristically tame and the draw was a fair result. Calimbay's experimentation with a 4-4-2 didn't go according to plan and the experienced manager is likely to revert to a 4-2-3-1 here. They are very strong at home, but we are likely to see a more cautious display as Calimbay will be wary of the counter-attacking threat Adana Demirspor pose. Adana Demirspor were beaten 2-0 by Malatyaspor last time out. They should have done much better in front of goal as they created enough chances to get at least a point. Montella game plan will be built on counter-attacks and not allowing any space to Sivas' midfielders, so expect to see aggressive pressing from Adana Demirspor in their own half. Both teams will likely be very cautious and yet there will also be so much attacking talent on the pitch that a high-scoring draw wouldn't be surprising. 2:2
