Gaziantep FK
- Gaziantep FK are unbeaten in 3 matches, in all competitions, after a tough 1-1 draw away to Galatasaray SK.
- Gazisehir Gaziantep FK will be favourites for Sunday’s home game against Konyaspor at around 2.4, with the visitors coming in at 2.8.
- Gaziantep FK (8th) have 24 points from their 18 Super Lig matches.
Konyaspor
Konyaspor are winless in 5 matches (D3, L2), including a 1-1 home draw against Eyupspor in the Super Lig, and a 1-0 friendly defeat to Universitatea Craiova.
Head-to-Head
- Konyaspor have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of the last 5 meetings between these sides.
- The last meeting between these teams was a 3-0 win for Konyaspor at home in the Super Lig.
Gaziantep FK
- Gaziantep FK play a 4-2-3-1 which is heavily based on defending well and being compact.
- Burak Yilmaz has set up his side to play a transition game, where the creative #10 plays the ball wide or makes runs forward, but always has the aim of getting the wide runners forward and getting into the box for the set pieces.
- Mohamed Bayo has been their biggest threat this season with 7 goals in 13 Super Lig appearances.
Konyaspor
- Konyaspor like to set up in a compact midfield with the front two players and #10.
- They press high and aim to force errors by the opposition defence and midfield, and play vertical passes to their front men as often as possible.
- With 8 goals in 18 league appearances, Mehmet Umut Nayir has been their main man up top and is who they look to for goals.
Betting Insights
- I expect a tough, but exciting game, and with the way each side has been playing recently, the Over 2.5 Goals market at 1.8 looks like a good bet.
- Gaziantep FK have scored 12 goals in 9 home league matches, and Konyaspor have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per away game in the league.
Prediction
I think the host’s home form and Konyaspor’s travel woes will see the favourites take the game here.
