Sivasspor and Besiktas will battle for three points in a Turkish Super Lig matchday 23 fixture on Sunday.
The home side will be looking to get back to winning ways following their 2-1 defeat away to Antalyaspor in midweek.

Besiktas, meanwhile, were held to a goalless stalemate at home to Adana Demirspor.
The draw left the Siyah Beyazlılar in fourth spot, having garnered 36 points from 22 games. Sivasspor are 13th with 26 points to show for their efforts in 22 games.

Besiktas, for their part, have missed the opportunity to take advantage of Trabzonspor's losses in two consecutive games. They suffered a shock defeat away to Pendikspor and followed it up with a draw at home to Demirspor despite playing most of the second half with a one-man advantage.
There is a difference in styles between the two sides, with Sivasspor's games tending to be more expansive at both ends while Besiktas are defensively resolute. We are backing the visitors to leave with a narrow win.
