I saw Sivasspor away against Gaziantep recently – ridiculously bad. You rarely see such a poor performance from a team in a top league. Lots of misplaced passes, a plethora of individual mistakes. Despite the match not being played at any particularly high tempo. They managed twelve shots, seven from open play, but they were mostly just harmless long-range efforts, either blocked along the way or ending up far into the stands. Noticeable absences, including Tolga Cigerci and the suspended Uros Radakovic, in positions where they don’t have adequate replacements. Istanbul Basaksehir looks to have a good chance. Shall we say that Krzysztof Piatek will be the deciding factor? A bit too good for this league, really.
