Fenerbahce might be riding high in the Turkish Superlig, but Tobias Gourlay believes their depleted attack will struggle to break down Sivasspor
"Sivasspor are 15th in the table, but have the Superlig's eighth-best defence, leaking just 21 times in their 16 games so far"

Fenerbahce v Sivasspor
Monday 18:00
Zulte Waregem 1 Oostende 0 in Belgium last night. Oostende is where Marvin Gaye wrote Sexual Healing. Hopefully a week off will perk Kev up a bit too.
Our shift begins in Turkey, where Superlig title-chasing Fenerbahce host relegation-threatened Sivasspor this evening.
The home side could close to within one point of league-leading Besiktas with a win tonight, despite scoring just 25 times in the first 16 rounds of the season. To give you some context, Besiktas have struck 41 goals and third-placed Galatasaray have notched 38.
At Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, Fenerbahce have not scored more than twice in a single match all season. Each of their last four outings have finished with Under 2.5 Goals in total.
For this game, the Yellow Canaries must do without their joint top-scorers: winger Nani and striker Fernandao. Can Robin Van Persie lead them to Over 2.5 Goals on his own? We doubt it.
Sivasspor are 15th in the table, but have the Superlig's eighth-best defence, leaking just 21 times in their 16 games so far. Since Okan Buruk took charge, 4/4 away games have ended with Under 2.5 Goals.
