Istanbulspor - Sivasspor predictions and free betting tips [17/05/2024]

On Friday, 17 May a clash in the Turkish Süper Lig will see İstanbulspor taking on Sivasspor.

İstanbulspor

The lads are merely rolling through the season, having already resigned themselves to relegation. Their recent form has been abysmal, suffering a thrashing 0-3 defeat to Trabzonspor, a 0-1 loss to Adana Demirspor, and a crushing 0-6 loss to Alanyaspor. They lack any motivation to put up a fight in this encounter. 

Sivasspor

The visitors, on the other hand, have had a fairly stable season. European competition might be a stretch for them at this stage, but overpowering a relegation-bound team should not pose a problem. Their previous round didn't end well, as they lost to İstanbul Başakşehir 0-1 and were heavily defeated by Galatasaray 1-6. Nevertheless, the team generally looks strong and resilient. 

Head-to-Head

Since 2022, the teams have faced each other four times. Sivasspor emerged victorious twice (1-0, 3-0), İstanbulspor won once (3-0), and one match ended in a draw (1-1).

Prediction and Bet

The visitors have secured their place in the division, but further advancement is unlikely due to point constraints. Given İstanbulspor's current dismal form, it makes sense to back a win for Sivasspor at 2.33 odds, which is quite a decent value.
