As the Trendyol Süper Lig heats up, Fenerbahçe is on the hunt for crucial points in their away match against Sivasspor on April 13, 2025. This encounter marks the 31st week of the league, and Fenerbahçe, currently second in the standings, is looking to solidify their position as they head to BG Grup 4 Eyll Stadium for a showdown against the home team.
The match kicks off at 19:00 local time, and fans can catch all the action live on beIN Sports 1. However, due to a ban on away supporters, Fenerbahçe fans will not be able to cheer for their team from the stands, a restriction that has also been in place during their previous away game against Bodrum FK.
Both teams have released their starting lineups ahead of this highly anticipated clash. Sivasspor will field a team featuring Ali Şaşal in goal, supported by a backline of Murat, Radakovic, Camara, and Uğur. The midfield includes Tolga, Samuel, Charisis, and Efkan, while Bekir and Manaj will lead the attack.
On the other side, Fenerbahçe will rely on goalkeeper Livakovic, with a defense comprising Osayi, Çağlar, Skriniar, and Mert Müldür. The midfield will see Fred, Szymanski, and Tadic orchestrating play, while Maximin, Talisca, and Dzeko will spearhead the offensive efforts.
Fenerbahçe has been hit with several absences due to injuries and illness. Key players Sofyan Amrabat and Mert Hakan Yandaş are sidelined, while İrfan Can Eğribayat is out with a flu infection. Additionally, Diego Carlos has been excluded from the squad due to a technical decision. Sivasspor is also facing challenges, with Emrah Başsan, Fode Koita, and goalkeeper Djordje Nikolic unavailable due to injuries.
As both teams prepare for the match, there is added tension regarding player suspensions. Fenerbahçe has four players—Filip Kostic, Allan Saint-Maximin, Çağlar Söyüncü, and İrfan Can Kahveci—who are at risk of suspension if they receive yellow cards during the match.
The historical context of this rivalry adds another layer of intrigue. Fenerbahçe and Sivasspor have met 37 times in the Süper Lig, with Fenerbahçe emerging victorious in 21 of those encounters. Sivasspor has claimed victory in 7 matches, while 9 have ended in a draw. In their most recent meeting earlier this season, Fenerbahçe triumphed with a commanding 4-0 win.
Fenerbahçe's dominance is further highlighted by their record in away matches against Sivasspor, having won 7 out of the 18 matches played in Sivas, while Sivasspor has managed to win 4. The last league match played in Sivas ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, showcasing the competitive nature of these clashes.
Fenerbahçe's most significant victory over Sivasspor came during the 2009-2010 season when they secured a stunning 5-1 win. This season, they have already proven their strength with the aforementioned 4-0 victory in the first half of the league.
As the match approaches, the stakes are high for both teams. Fenerbahçe aims to maintain their momentum and secure vital points in the title race, while Sivasspor is eager to capitalize on their home advantage and claim a crucial win to boost their standing in the league.
Fans are eagerly searching for ways to watch the match, with many turning to illegal streaming sites such as Justin TV, Selçuk Sports, and Taraftarium24. However, these platforms do not have legal broadcasting rights in Turkey, and accessing pirated broadcasts can pose significant risks, including potential legal repercussions for copyright infringement. It is recommended that fans utilize legitimate channels to support their teams and enjoy the match safely.
With the excitement building as kickoff approaches, all eyes will be on BG Grup 4 Eyll Stadium to see if Fenerbahçe can continue their winning ways or if Sivasspor will rise to the occasion and secure a much-needed victory.
