Match overview: Bodrumspor’s fortress against a struggling Sivasspor
Bodrumspor welcome Sivasspor to Bodrum İlçe Stadı on 19 January 2026 in a clash that looks tilted toward the hosts on paper. The home side sit comfortably in sixth with 33 points from 20 matches and have been particularly impressive at their own ground — 25 goals scored and only 3 conceded at home this season. That defensive solidity at Bodrum’s compact 5,000-capacity stadium, coupled with solid overall attacking numbers (38 goals in 20 league games), gives them a clear edge.
Sivasspor arrive rooted near the foot of the table in 17th with just 23 points. Their season numbers expose problems on the road: only 6 goals scored away and 14 conceded, a record that will be tested against a home team that converts chances reasonably often. Sivasspor’s recent league form has been patchy, and a 0-2 home loss to BB Erzurumspor on 11 January underlines their inconsistency. Head-to-head earlier in the season produced a 1-1 draw, but that doesn’t negate the wider trend — Bodrum at home is a tougher prospect.
Form and trends that matter
Bodrumspor’s last ten results include a mix of draws and defeats, but the team’s ability to keep clean sheets at home stands out: eight clean sheets overall and an extraordinary just-three-goals-conceded home tally. Sivasspor’s road struggles – both in scoring and preventing goals – are glaring. Their attack has been struggling to produce on the road, and Bodrum’s defensive profile suggests this game could be dictated by the hosts’ control rather than an open shootout.
Both-teams-to-score and over/under markets give a mixed picture: Bodrum’s home BTTS percentage is relatively low, while Sivasspor have seen a fair share of matches with goals. Still, combining the statistical backdrop and the venue factor points toward a controlled home victory rather than a high-scoring thriller.

Betting suggestion: 1X2 market — Back Bodrumspor to win. Rationale: dominant home defensive record (only 3 goals conceded at home), superior goalscoring figures overall, and Sivasspor’s poor away output (6 goals scored on the road) combine to make a Bodrum victory the most likely outcome. Consider a conservative stake given recent mixed form and cup involvement; a single-match stake or small unit on Bodrumspor to win is the sensible play.
