Alanyaspor take on relegation-threatened Sivasspor at the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

Francesco Farioli's side occupy ninth position in the Super Lig standings, while The Braves are currently situated in the relegation zone but only two points away from safety.

Match preview

Alanyaspor have experienced mixed results throughout the 2022-23 Super Lig campaign, losing more matches - 7 - than they have been victorious in.

Farioli's side have been victorious in five of their eight matches at the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium, finding the back of the net on 21 occasions, with only title contenders Fenerbahce able to better that.

The Alanya-based outfit suffered a 2-1 defeat in front of their own supporters to current Lig leaders Galatasaray on January 17 but got slightly back on track five days later as on-loan Fulham winger Ivan Cavaleiro's 83rd-minute equaliser salvaged a share of the spoils with Fatih Karagumruk.

However, Farioli's side suffered their second defeat in three matches on Friday, as UEFA Europa Conference League candidates Besiktas easily swept aside Alanyaspor at the Vodafone Arena.

With over two goals in each of Alanyaspor's previous six Super Lig matches, supporters of both teams could be in store for an indulgence of goals at the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium on Tuesday.

Victorious in only three away matches this season, Sivasspor are currently involved in the heavily-congested Super Lig relegation battle.

Riza Calimbay's side might have experienced their struggles on the road earlier in the campaign but have since picked up 10 points from their last five games on their league travels.

The Braves moved another step closer to winning back-to-back Turkish Cups for the first time in the club's 55-year history following a 3-0 victory over lower-league opposition Karacabey Belediyespor on January 17.

Sivasspor then followed up their progression to the last eight of the cup with a 2-1 win over Gaziantep at the Gaziantep Stadium five days later.

Returning to the familiar backdrop of the New Malatya Stadium on Saturday, most of the ground were left disappointed at the sound of referee Burak Pakkan's full-time whistle as goals from Emre Akbaba and Babajide David Akintola proved enough for Adana Demirspor to secure a hard-earned three points.

Sivasspor manager Riza Calimbay could change the attacking trio of Max Gradel, Mustapha Yatabare and Erdogan Yesilyurt that began the defeat against Adana Demirspor.

Following his appearance as a second-half substitute on Saturday, Karol Angielski could be handed a starting berth in the final third as the Polish forward continues his pursuit of finally opening his goalscoring account for the 2022-23 Super Lig campaign.

On the back of his consolation against Vincenzo Montella's European-aspiring outfit, Isaac Cofie will again start alongside Kader Keita and Charis Charisis in midfield.

Like his managerial counterpart, Alanyaspor boss Francesco Farioli could also consider switching up his starting XI following their 3-0 loss to Europa Conference League candidates Besiktas.

After brief introductions from the dugout on Friday, on-loan Sporting Lisbon midfielder Idrissa Doumbia and forward Erencan Yardimci could be restored to the hosts' side from kickoff.

Alanyaspor possible starting lineup:
Vural; Yalcin, Goutas, Osmanpasa, Ciftci; Cofie, Keita, Charisis; Angielski, Yatabare, Gradel

Sivasspor possible starting lineup:
Runarsson; Fer, Bayir, Aksoy; Doumbia, Gunes, Lusamba, Ferhat; Yardimci, Hassan, Cavaleiro

We say: Alanyaspor 2-1 Sivasspor

Unbeaten across their previous five encounters across all competitions, dating back to December 2021, we predict that Sivasspor's one-sided head-to-head tenure will finally conclude on Tuesday, with Alanyaspor taking home all three points.
