Our prediction for the Galatasaray vs Konyaspor match
The Istanbul club looks excellent under Okan Buruk. Last season, with impressive statistics, they managed to defend their championship title, securing a tough victory over their neighbors, Fenerbahçe. Konyaspor, on the other hand, earned 41 points, narrowly surpassing both Ankaragücü and Fatih Karagümrük, and secured a "borderline" but crucial 16th place.
Currently, Victor Osimhen and his new teammates lead the league with even more confidence. In the last round, they faced their main rival, Fenerbahçe, in a crucial match. They decided to settle for a "bird in the hand" and ended the game in a 0-0 draw. At the same time, they advanced to the knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League, but were severely beaten by AZ Alkmaar. At home, they couldn’t even manage to go out with a bang and finished with another draw. The visitors haven’t been able to improve much. Moreover, in February, they lost to both Kayserispor and Samsunspor, with only a draw against Sivasspor.
In the Cup, the best team in the country started with a 2-2 draw against their neighbors, Istanbul. However, they then crushed Boluspor 4-1 away. Their opponent, Konyaspor, boasts a perfect record so far. They won all three of their qualification matches, and in the group stage, they secured a 1-0 victory at Çorum and a 3-1 win at home against Eyüpspor.
