Sivasspor vs Beşiktaş prediction and betting tips on January 7, 2025
Game Prediction
In the first round of the Turkish Cup group stage on January 7, 2025, Sivasspor will face Beşiktaş. Both clubs are struggling in the league and may view this tournament as an opportunity to redeem themselves in front of their fans.
Our prediction for the Sivasspor vs Beşiktaş match
The "Red Lightning" were recently competing in Turkey's third division. However, in 2023, they finally returned to the Süper Lig, finishing in 13th place. For the "Eagles," last season was disappointing—they only managed to secure 6th place. However, they capped off the season by winning the Turkish Cup once again.
During the summer, Giovanni van Bronckhorst took charge in Istanbul, starting his tenure with a Super Cup victory. However, by winter, he was dismissed following a string of poor results. Since his departure, Beşiktaş has managed only a derby win against Fenerbahçe, suffering defeats like the one against Adana Demirspor and drawing with Alanyaspor and Rizespor. Meanwhile, Ömer Erdoğan’s Sivasspor ended 2024 on a somewhat positive note with a goalless draw against Samsunspor.
The home side averages nearly 1.2 goals per match but concedes almost 1.6. Beşiktaş, led by Immobile and company, boasts a nearly inverse ratio, with an average of 1.53 goals scored and 1.12 conceded per game.
