Batman Petrolspor vs Sivasspor: match statistics

Batman Petrolspor remain unbeaten this season, with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw, while they have collected 11 points and scored as many as 15 goals in their last five matches. At home, the hosts have won 100% of their games, averaging 2 goals per match, have yet to concede and maintain 59% possession. Sivasspor sit 18th, have failed to win any of their three league matches this season and lost their only away fixture so far 0:2, without finding the net. The visitors average 15 shots per match but have failed to convert them into goals, while Petrolspor create higher-quality chances at home: xG 1.49 compared with Sivasspor’s away xG of 1.42. The difference is further reinforced by the hosts’ defence, against which opponents average an xG of 1.19, compared with the 1.59 xG conceded by Sivasspor away from home.

The strongest argument against BTTS - Yes is Sivasspor’s attacking record to date: the visitors have not scored a single goal in the competition and have failed to score in 100% of their matches. Batman Petrolspor have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their games and concede just 1.0 goal on average, further limiting the visitors’ chances of breaking their duck. The hosts should create chances, however, as they average 6.0 shots on target compared with Sivasspor’s 2.0, while their opponents have conceded an average of 2.0 goals per match. The last five appearances provide a counterargument, with Sivasspor’s xG standing at 1.58; nevertheless, their actual average of 0.8 goals scored and BTTS landing in only 40% of those matches still provide greater support for the BTTS - No outcome, meaning that at least one team fails to score.

The strongest signal is Under 3.5 goals, as Sivasspor have yet to score in the season data, while Batman Petrolspor concede an average of just 1.0 goal and have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their matches. The hosts have a clearly superior creative potential: their average xG stands at 1.72 compared with 1.42 for the visitors, while Sivasspor’s opponents allow an average of 1.59 xG. Batman’s recent form has been highly offensive, as they have scored an average of 3.0 goals in their last five matches, with Over 2.5 landing in 80% of those games; however, this does not rule out a limited attacking contribution from the visitors. Sivasspor’s last five matches produced just 0.8 goals scored per game, with 40% of matches finishing above 2.5 goals. The projected total of 2.40 goals leaves room for a home win but gives a clear edge to the scenario of no more than three goals.

Batman Petrolspor have been clearly stronger in their last five matches, averaging 3.0 goals scored and 1.2 conceded, while Sivasspor have managed just 0.8 goals per game. The hosts were leading at the break in 80% of those matches and scored an average of 1.2 goals before half-time, whereas the visitors were behind after 45 minutes in 60% of their appearances, scoring just 0.4 goals during that phase. The advantage is also reflected in the quality of chances: Batman’s average xG stands at 1.78 compared with the opponent’s 1.42, while the hosts allow their opponents an xG of just 0.93. Sivasspor have failed to score in 100% of their away matches so far, conceding an average of 2.0 goals, which further supports the scenario of the home side taking the lead at the break. After half-time, Batman have averaged 1.8 goals in their last five matches, making it most likely that they will maintain or extend their advantage, resulting in the 1/1 HT/FT outcome.
