Fiorentina - Sivasspor: Form Analysis
Fiorentina have a case that they should certainly be ranked higher in the Serie A as they currently sit 12th with a points total of 31. The underlying numbers this season have been quite good, especially at home where they have posted an expected goals total of 2.29 while only allowing 1.16. La Viola showed what they are capable of with a 2-1 home victory over the defending champions AC Milan in their last outing. Vincenzo Italiano’s side is on a strong run of form with four wins and a draw over its last five matches across all competitions, including three consecutive victories. Fiorentina was extremely impressive in the previous round against Braga, romping to a 4-0 away win in the first leg which was followed up by a 3-2 home win in the return leg.
Sivasspor comes into this match off the back of a 4-3 away defeat to Fatih Karagumruk in the Turkish Super Lig, putting an end to a two match winning streak and dealing the club its 11 league loss of the season. It’s been a difficult season for the Braves but they have been in a solid run of form in recent weeks. Sivasspor has managed four wins in the previous six matches, three of which came in the league to lift the club to 14th in the Super Lig standings. They are still in danger of relegation however, as they currently sit only two points above the drop zone. The performance in the Conference League has been the lone bright spot for Sivasspor this season after topping Group G with a record of three wins, two draws and one defeat while recording a goal differential of +4

Fiorentina & Sivasspor Squad Analysis
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano has mostly a full squad of players to choose from as the only injury concern at the moment is left-back Aleksa Terzic who missed the previous match against Milan. We are likely to see former Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic lead the line for the hosts here as the 25-year-old tops the Conference League scoring charts with six goals. Jovic came off the bench in Fiorentina’s 2-1 win over Milan to net the second goal and assure his team of the three points.
On the other side, Sivasspor manager Rıza Çalımbay has a few injury problems as he will be without striker Mustapha Yatabare, defender Cenar Osmanpasa and midfielder/defender Robin Yalcin. Yatabare may prove to be a particularly tough absence to cope with as the 37-year-old leads Sivasspor’s Conference League scoring charts with three goals.Most goals and assists

Our Fiorentina vs Sivasspor Prediction
Fiorentina has been on a goal scoring roll lately and has looked dynamic in attack every time they have taken to the pitch in the past three or so weeks. Their confidence should be sky-high after steamrolling a Braga side that is having a good season in the first knockout round of the competition. Add to that a rather convincing 2-1 home win over a tough AC Milan side on the weekend and there are a lot of reasons to be bullish about Vincenzo Italiano’s mens’ chances in this tie. Sivasspor have been better in recent weeks but it’s looking like they are going to catch this La Viola side at the worst possible time.
