Galatasaray vs Konyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
Galatasaray receives in the quarter-final second leg of Türkiye Kupasi the club Atiker Konyaspor in Türk Telekom Stadyumu at home in Istanbul. The first leg in Konya ended in a 2-2 draw after a game with many high-profile chances for both teams, with Galatasaray scoring a very unlucky own goal in the first half, leaving them behind for a long time. Within five minutes Galatasaray turned the backlog into a lead in the second half. In added time scored only by Göztepe new signing Adis Jahovic by a header the surprising 2: 2, which Konyaspor secured a much better starting position for the second leg and Galatasary should have missed a corresponding psychological damper. After all, Galatasaray has scored two goals away from Konyaspor and thus the mathematical advantage for the second encounter on their own side.
Galatasaray :
Galatasaray have an impressive record of 13 wins and two draws from 15 competitive games in their own stadium – scoring 41 with just ten goals scored. Galatasaray won the knockout round of the cup with two clear 3-0 victories over Bucaspor. In the last game against Sivaspor, the league tables of the Süper Lig, they lost 2-1 away. The team from Istanbul were even behind in the 79 minutes, a 2-0 deficit. Obviously, after the high wins from the trophy, they were too negligent in the game. Also against Konyaspor they got in the first leg initially in arrears and only after the halftime break back a little concentrated back on the court. After the many clear victories, they probably went a bit too negligent in the last two games and was promptly punished by supposedly weaker teams and brought back to the bottom of the facts. Nonetheless, Galatasaray is sure to be able to bring in a squad that can beat any opponent, especially at home in Istanbul. After the recent setbacks, they are warned that playing at home against Konyaspor will not be a self-perp. Fatih Terim will hire the team accordingly.
Konyaspor :
In 2018, Atiker Konyaspor could not win a game. With the commitment of the Macedonian top striker Adis Jahovic from league rivals Göztepe secured a strong center forward, who has already scored 14 goals in the Süper Lig in 18 games. Until then, Konyaspor’s top scorer was a right-back defender in the current season – Slovenian Nejc Skubic, who scored six goals in twenty games. With Jahovic Konyaspor should be a whole scoreline more dangerous, which he already demonstrated in the first leg against Galatasaray. Konyaspor had several chances in the own stadium to decide the game for themselves and held over long distances with Galatasaray. The team has the will and the energy and now maybe with Jahovic’s offensive power to finally make the first victory of the new year. The will of the team was also in the last game in the Süper Lig against the league leaders Medipol Basaksehir, in which you could still achieve the draw in added time and thus could get an important point in front of home crowd. This shows that Konyaspor has to wait until the last minute and the team will not give up to finally make the first success this year. A cup win against Galatasaray would certainly more than pay for the current sporting dry spell.
