Mersin v Sivasspor: Preview & Prediction

Mersin

Mersin are flying high in the Turkish Super League in forth place, after recording four straight wins at home. Rıza Çalımbay’s side are performing far above pre-season expectations and have scored the second highest amount of goals in the league.

Mersin go into the game with a clean bill of health.

Sivasspor

Sivasspor put a stop to their slide down the table last weekend with a 3-1 victory over Balikesirspor. Roberto Carlos’s side were tipped for a top half finish but have been woeful in the opening weeks of the league.

Mehdi Taouil and Umit Kurt will miss the game due to suspensions.

Prediction

Mersin have won four of their five games at home and will be favourites against a struggling Sivasspor. However, Sivasspor played well in their last game and are stronger than their league position suggests. Both sides offer an attacking threat which could result in a high scoring game.
