Sivasspor vs Fiorentina Prediction and Betting Tips | March 16th 2023

Sivasspor take on Fiorentina at the Yeni 4 Eylül Stadyumu in the second leg of their Conference League last-16 clash on Thursday.

The Turkish outfit suffered a slender 1-0 first-leg defeat last week and will head into the midweek clash looking to turn the tie on its head.

Sivasspor’s hopes of beating the drop in the Super League suffered a fresh blow as they were thrashed 3-0 by fellow relegation strugglers Istanbulspor.

Riza Calimbay’s men have now lost three consecutive matches, including last Thursday’s 1-0 loss against Fiorentina in the first leg of their Conference League last-16 clash.

Sivasspor have picked up 24 points from 15 matches and currently sit 15th in the Super League table, just three points above rock-bottom Umraniyespor.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, continued their rise to the top half of the Serie A table as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Cremonese at the weekend.

Vincenzo Italiano’s men have now won their last five matches across all competitions, stretching back to February’s 1-1 draw with Empoli.

Having finished as runners-up in Group A of the Conference League, Fiorentina claimed a resounding 7-2 aggregate win over Braga in the playoffs before last week’s win over Sivasspor at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
