Galatasaray will welcome Sivasspor to the Nef Stadium for a matchday 35 fixture in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 away win over Altay. Kerem Akturoglu's early strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Sivasspor also claimed maximum points on home turf against Alanyaspor via the same scoreline. Faycal Fajr scored a 52nd-minute penalty to inspire his side to the win.
The victory pushed Yiğidolar to 13th spot, having garnered 45 points from 34 matches. Galatasaray sit right above them and are two points better off.

Galatasaray vs Sivasspor Prediction
The two sides have little left to play for in the league this season, although they will each try to focus on securing a top-half finish. Sivasspor also have a Turkish Cup semifinal tie against Alanyaspor to look forward to.
There is little to separate the two teams, as evidenced by their close standing on the table, and we are backing them to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Galatasaray 1-1 Sivasspor
