Konyaspor
- Konyaspor are a much more solid, well-organised outfit under the direction of Cagdas Atan, who took over in November 2025, but they are winless in their last five Super Lig games.
- The latest was a 2-1 defeat to Besiktas JK, and their home form has been steady, if uninspiring, with two draws in a row and no losses in their last two matches.
- Atan will be looking to get this side climbing the table and he is a big believer in playing a possession-based game, building play patiently from the midfield and using the width to create chances.
- Konyaspor are 14th with 19 points from the same number of games.
Goztepe AS Izmir
- Goztepe AS Izmir are unbeaten in their last five Super Lig matches (W4, D1).
- Stanimir Stoilov has done a great job since his appointment at Goztepe AS and, although there were some signs that the team were tiring a few weeks ago, his side are on a roll at the moment.
- Arda Kurtulan has been on a great run of form lately, scoring three times in his last five games for the club, and will offer them some extra firepower at the other end of the field.
- Juan has been their standout performer, however, with six goals and three assists in 19 Super Lig appearances and he is the engine that makes Goztepe AS tick.
Key Players
- Arda Kurtulan has been on a great run of form lately, scoring three times in his last five games for the club, and will offer them some extra firepower at the other end of the field.
- Juan has been their standout performer, however, with six goals and three assists in 19 Super Lig appearances and he is the engine that makes Goztepe AS tick.
- But Konyaspor are a stubborn team and with an Enis Bardhi in midfield, who has three Super Lig goals and can be a spark in attack, they can get a few chances.
Betting Insights
- Konyaspor concede an average of 1.40 goals per game at home in the Super Lig, Goztepe AS average 1.30 goals on their travels.
- Goztepe AS are slight favorites at 2.5 to win the game, although Konyaspor are 2.86 and the draw is 3.15.
- The visitors have won five, drawn three and lost only two of their 10 away Super Lig fixtures, averaging 1.3 goals per match.
Prediction
- Goztepe AS are the team in form and a clash between two very different types of side - one that likes to play in possession and one that prefers to soak up the pressure and counter-attack - should favour the visitors.
- But Konyaspor are a stubborn team and with an Enis Bardhi in midfield, who has three Super Lig goals and can be a spark in attack, they can get a few chances.
- A tight, scrappy game seems likely and the odds-on price for under 2.5 goals looks too short, even though there are usually goals when these sides meet, but Goztepe AS should have the edge and edge out a close contest.
