Preview: Sivasspor vs. Galatasaray - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Monday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Sivasspor and Galatasaray, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Aiming to pick up a third victory on the bounce, Sivasspor welcome Galatasaray to the Yeni 4 Eylul Stadyumu on Monday.

Meanwhile, the visitors go in search of a first league triumph in five outings with each of the last two ending in stalemates.


Match preview

Galatasaray secured top spot in their Europa League group with courtesy of a 0-0 draw against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.

Fatih Terim's men needed just a point to qualify as group winners and got the job done in Italy despite being on the back foot for a large chunk of the contest.

That was a third consecutive share of the spoils across all competitions for the Lions who were held to a 2-2 draw by Altay on December 4.

Currently seventh on the log, Monday's visitors will be looking to move up the table when they take on an opposing side yet to win any of the last four meetings between the teams.

Sivasspor ended a four-game winless streak on the road following a narrow 1-0 victory over Alanyaspor on Saturday.

Kerem Kesgin opened the scoring in the 53rd minute and that was enough to hand Riza Calimbay's men all three points.

With maximum points from each of their last two league outings, the Braves have now moved five points clear of danger with a game in hand.

Unbeaten on home turf since August, Monday's hosts will fancy themselves to come away with a positive result come the sound of the full-time whistle in this one.

We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Galatasaray

Sivasspor have proven to be a tough nut to crack on home turf and Galatasaray are the latest team faced with that challenge. We expect a hard-fought battle with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.
