There are so many teams in the thick of the Super Lig title race that every weekend presents at least one mouth-watering fixture. Take this Sunday for example. Sivasspor, third in the table, take on fourth-placed Galatasaray, both teams level on points, a measly one point away from leaders Istanbul Basaksehir. Sivasspor held the lead for much of the season - there is of course still time to get back to the top - before a shaky run of form allowed their rivals to catch up. A run of four matches without a win was finally put to an end midway through last month and now Sivasspor have back-to-back victories under their belt. They need to have momentum on their side to take on a Galatasaray side on an eight-game winning streak. The most high-profile Galatasaray victory in that sequence was their 3-1 triumph at Fenerbahce, one of several defeats that appears to have knocked Fener out of title contention. 

Travelling to The Ülker Stadium is a daunting prospect, yet Galatasaray overturned a deficit in winning there. Of late, they have a talent for winning on the road, picking up victories on their last three Super Lig trips. Doing the same thing at Sivasspor will be tricky as their unbeaten home record will tell anyone. Galatasaray have lost this fixture in each of the last two seasons so traditionally don't tend to fare well on this visit. They did beat Sivasspor earlier in the campaign in a 3-2 thriller, one of many games between Super Lig title contenders to feature goals for both teams. Sivasspor have scored 36 percent of their goals after the 75th minute. Galatasaray have conceded 44 percent of the goals scored against them after the 75th minute. We think this is set up for a dramatic ending. Back a goal to be scored after the 74th minute.
