Let's have a look at the latest Turkish Super Lig predictions between Sivasspor vs. Galatasaray, probable lineups, match facts and betting odds for you to consider!

Sivasspor

Form: WWLWL

Rey Manaj once again emerged as the hero for the people courtesy of his late brace that steered his side to a narrow 3-1 triumph over Kayserispor away from home this past weekend, where the struggle has been real, and this comes after notching a late 1-0 triumph for his side at home against Istanbulspor on December 23rd.

The Braves are currently on a two-match winning streak in the league since a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Istanbul Basaksehir away from home. Having started the season on an unfavorable note, picking up a solitary win in seven matches, which almost saw them dragged into a relegation scrap, it's safe to say that four wins in nine matches represent a modest advancement towards a more prosperous season, contrasting with their 14th place finish in the previous season.

With 24 points accumulated from 18 matches, Sivasspor sits tenth in the Turkish Super Lig standings, one point ahead of 11th-placed Istanbul Basaksehir and five points adrift of Kayserispor in fifth place.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Varal; Okumus, Osmanpasa, Camara, Ciftci; Arslan, Charisis; Gokay, Saiz, Barrow; Koita

Galatasaray

Form: WDWWW

Despite securing a 3-0 triumph over Konyaspor at home, Galatasaray failed to capture the Midas touch, preventing it from evolving into a commanding and remarkable performance.

Gala have now avoided defeat in their last five matches in the Super Lig, notching four wins and a solitary draw, not to mention that a total of four clean sheets were preserved, which comes as no surprise as they boast the best defensive record in the league with nine goals conceded in eighteen matches and will undeniably want to deploy such an impressive display in this upcoming encounter.

With 47 points collected from 18 matches, Galatasaray sits second in the Turkish Super Lig standings, level on points with first-placed Fenerbahce, and securing three points here could possibly see them overthrow league leaders Fenerbahce.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Muslera; Boey, Nelsson, Bardakci, Karatas; Demirbay, Torreira; Zaha, Mertens, Akturkoglu; Dervisoglu

Expert Betting Tips

Despite having to play second fiddle this season, Galatasaray have been impressive up until this point, and nothing much separates them from league leaders Fenerbahce, having posted similar results in eighteen matches played. Understanding the significance of the situation, where even a minor hiccup can impact the title race, it's reasonable to assert that their victory against underdogs Sivasspor is unquestionable, setting the stage for a convincing away win.

Therefore, we expect Galatasaray to secure a half-time victory in this one, which shouldn't pose any challenges considering this has been the case in three of their last five away matches in this fixture.
