Trabzonspor will host Sivasspor at Akyazi Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The home side have endured an overall disappointing season but remain hopeful of turning a corner in the second half of the campaign as they sit mid-table in 10th place with 22 points from 18 matches.
They picked up an empathic 5-0 victory over Antalyaspor in their last league outing featuring goals from three different players including right-back Pedro Malheiro who netted an outstanding hat-trick.
Like their midweek opponents, Sivasspor have failed to perform this season, prompting the dismissal of head coach Bulent Uygun. They played out a 1-1 draw against Alanyaspor in their last match, heading into the break a goal up thanks to a Bengali-Fode Koita strike before their opponents leveled the scores early in the second half.
The visitors sit just outside the drop zone in 15th place with 20 points. They are, however, just two points behind the Trabzon outfit and will leapfrog them with a win on Monday.
