Our prediction for Konyaspor vs Galatasaray
The club from Konya fought a very difficult relegation battle last season. In the end, they managed to earn 41 points, narrowly edging out both Ankaragücü and Fatih Karagümrük, finishing in the last safe spot, sixteenth place. The Istanbul giant had a much more honorable race for the title, which they won, finishing three points ahead of Fenerbahçe.
This season, nothing has changed in that respect: Okan Buruk’s team’s main rival is, once again, their neighbor. So far, they are keeping them at bay, having beaten Bodrum 2-0 in the previous round. However, Galatasaray stumbled in the Champions League by failing to get through the qualifiers, and in the Europa League were knocked out by AZ in February. Recep Uçar’s players have improved, especially recently, consolidating their place in mid-table. Last round, they also managed to win—against Hatayspor, 3-2.
The home side started their cup campaign back in October. And the only side they didn’t beat was... Galatasaray, with whom they drew 0-0 in the group stage. But in the play-offs, they defeated Erzin Belediye. In the group stage, the champions also drew with Istanbul, but thrashed Boluspor to reach the quarterfinals, where an Osimhen double saw them past Fenerbahçe 2-1.
