Basaksehir vs Konyaspor Prediction & Match Preview

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Konyaspor
Turkish Super Lig
Date: 29 January 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET
Venue: Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu (Istanbul).

Istanbul Basaksehir bounced back from the loss at Trabzonspor by beating Konyaspor 1-3 on the road after a second-half comeback last weekend.

The team’s joint-top scorers Danijel Aleksic and Deniz Turuc initiated the comeback as the team generally produced a stellar performance in the second half.

If we count the cup win over Fatih Karagumruk (on penalties), Istanbul Basaksehir have notched five goals in the previous two games in all competitions.

They are eight points behind leaders Galatasaray and the title challenge is still a big longshot from the current perspective.

Nevertheless, the team led by Emre Belozoglu are well on pace to secure another run in the European competitions.

Istanbul Basaksehir will be looking to stay on the positive trajectory on Sunday afternoon when they host top-half rivals Konyaspor in a very exciting Matchday No 21 clash at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu.

Konya will enter this match in a completely opposite rhythm. They lost pace with the teams placed above them in the battle for the European competitions next season.

The visitors dropped to seventh position in the league ladder after back-to-back losses to Besiktas and Ankaragucu in the previous two rounds.

The team led by Aleksandar Stanojevic are yet to record a win this year. They are winless in six successive outings in all competitions namely because of the poor defensive performances in January.

Istanbul Basaksehir will go into this in much higher spirits and we expect them to take advantage of the momentum and pick up the second straight league win.

Since we have by no means been impressed by Konya’s recent defensive displays, you can back Istanbul Basaksehir to win & Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 3.00 odds.
