Antalyaspor vs Sivasspor Predictions

• Both teams have scored in three of Antalyaspor’s four home matches against the current top half this season.
• Three or more goals have been scored in each of Antalyaspor’s four home games against top-half teams this term.
• Both teams have scored in five of Sivasspor’s away games against the current bottom half.

Hosts struggling to win at home

Although they’ve not been losing regularly at home of late, the hosts are finding it tough to pick up wins in front of their own fans. They beat Kasimpasa recently, but that was their first home win since September. Antalyaspor have won just twice at Antalya Stadyumu this term. Unsurprisingly, they have the worst home record in the division, claiming just 11 points from 12 games.

Not only have the hosts struggled to win games at home in general, but they’ve been particularly poor against the top teams, losing two out of two at home against the current top six. They’re also winless at home against the current top half, which doesn’t exactly bode well ahead of a match against a side that currently sits in 4^th.

Visitors leaky on the road

As they sit in the top four, with a six-point lead over the chasing pack, Sivasspor are enjoying a pleasing campaign, though they’re certainly not infallible, particularly away from home. Saturday’s visitors have lost two of their last three on the road, while their defending, even against the lesser teams, hasn’t always been great.

Sivasspor have won five out of six away against the bottom half, scoring two or more in five of those six, but they’ve only kept two clean sheets. For all their flaws, the hosts have proven that they can score goals against the better teams at home, so the visitors are likely to be worried about their rather insecure rear-guard.

Goals all round

In the betting, ‘Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score’ appears to be a viable option. The hosts have scored in three out of four against top-half teams, losing each of their home games two against the current top six. The visitors have often won matches such as this, winning four out of six against the current bottom half, scoring twice in five of those six. Such numbers point towards Sivasspor, who are currently 22 points above their hosts, coming out on top, though we shouldn’t expect them to do so without conceding. After all, they’ve kept a clean sheet in just one out of six away against the bottom half. A 1-2 win for the visitors appeals in the ‘Correct Score’ market. The hosts have often conceded multiple goals in games of this nature, but they notched once against both Trabzonspor and Besiktas and can do so again here.
