Samsunspor: form and statistics

Samsunspor secured a 3-0 win over Eyupspor in their last game to extend their winning run to two in a row. Before the win, they had defeated Bodrumspor 2-1. Prior to this run, they had lost four straight games. However, they have had a fair home run, winning five of their last eight games. They sit 4th on the table with 57 points in 33 games, scoring 50 goals and conceding 38. The Red Lightning have the chance of moving third on the table with a win, but whichever way, they have picked up a continental ticket and will battle in the Europa League next season.

With no injury record, Thomas Reis will likely repeat the same starting eleven he used in his last game, where Landry Dimata and Emre Kilinc led the attack.

Sivasspor: form and statistics

Sivasspor played a goalless draw in their last game against Bodrumspor, extending their winless run to five in their previous six games. On the road, they are without a win in their last nine games. The Braves sit 17th on the table with 35 points in 34 games, scoring 44 goals and conceding 57. They are in danger of relegation, and as things stand, they will likely play in the second division next season.

Sivasspor: Lineup

Sivasspor will continue to be without the service of Alaaddin Okumus, Djordje Nikolic, Jan Bieganski, and Mehmet Albayrak, who are all out of this game due to injuries. However, Rıza Çalımbay will continue to trust Ali Vural Sasal in the goalkeeping department, and Rey Manaj is expected to lead the attack.

🔖 Sivasspor starting lineup (4-2-3-1) 

Goalkeeper – Ali Vural Sasal

Defenders – Murat Paluli, Uros Radakovic, Samba Camara, Ugur Ciftci

Midfielders – Samuel Moutoussamy, Efkan Bekiroglu, Charis Charisis, Tolga Cigerci, Garry Mendes Rodrigues

Attacker — Rey Manaj

⛔️ Out: Alaaddin Okumus (injury), Djordje Nikolic (injury), Jan Bieganski (injury), Mehmet Albayrak (knee injury).

Fenerbahce vs Eyupspor match prediction 18 May 2025

Sivasspor desperately need this win for a last-minute miracle of their survival. However, I don’t think this desperation will amount to anything as the hosts have been excellent, especially in front of their home fans. However, I expect goals from both sides of the net. Interestingly, the previous four games of Sivasspor on the road saw goals from both sides of the net.
