Kayserispor vs Konyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
The form crisis at Kayserispor is coming to a head. As in the previous season, the yellow-reds from the Turkish ham town settled in the lower third of the table of the Süper Lig, and the trainer has even changed in the meantime. The desired turnaround has not yet occurred under the new head coach Samet Aybaba.
As tables-18. Kayserispor is currently relegated and is therefore under pressure to win in the English week. In the best possible scenario, Aybaba’s team can move to a non-relegation place at least for the time being. The best bookmakers see the Thursday game Kayserispor vs. Konyaspor the guests according to odds but as easy favorites.
Compared to the crisis club from Kayseri, Konyaspor made a promising start to the 2020/21 season, but fell again in recent weeks. In the last four games there have been three defeats, including against Ankaragücü, who are currently in 19th place in the Süper Lig.
Accordingly, at Kayserispor vs. Konyaspor a prognosis for the home side is by no means wrong.
Kayserispor :
Last season, the relegation of Kayserispor was prevented with the increase in the league at the green table. As the start of the 2020/21 season shows, the relegation to the TFF 1st Lig seems to have only been postponed by a year. After all, the yellow-reds from Kayseri are back on a relegation zone after twelve match days.
In order to compensate for the weak start to the season, the trainer has already been changed. Bayram Bektas had to vacate his place after the defeat at home against Hatayspor on matchday eight, and Samet Aybaba was introduced as his successor a short time later. Under the 65-year-old, Kayserispor remained unbeaten four times in a row and scored points against Galatasaray and Trabzonspor, among others.
It was only on the last day of the match that the yellow-reds suffered their first defeat under Aybaba. At the away game in Antalya the table-18 was defeated. with 0: 2 at the Mediterranean club.
Among other things, the defeat was again due to the weak offensive game of the yellow-reds. With only six goals, Kayserispor is statistically the weakest offensive in the Turkish House of Lords. The Kayseri attack department is by no means badly staffed. Among others, veterans such as Manuel Fernandes and Aaron Lennon are represented in the yellow-red squad.
Compared to the starting line-up last matchday, Samet Aybaba is unlikely to make any major changes. The squad of the yellow-reds remains unchanged. With Uzun, Depe, Subasi and Lung Jr. there are still four players in the hospital.
Konyaspor :
Konyaspor remains a surprise bag this season. The green and whites buckled after a promising start and lost a good starting position in the table. The Anatolian Eagles are currently in 13th place in the table, the lead over the relegation places has shrunk to five points.
Most recently Konyaspor suffered two defeats in a row, including an away defeat at Ankaragücü, the table-19. the Süper Lig. The defeat against the capital city club was always surprising, after all, Konyaspor led 2-1 in the first half. After a poor performance in the second half, the table-13 conceded. conceded three goals and lost the third away game of the season.
In the six away games of the current season Konyaspor currently has a record of 1-2-3, with only the away game at Fenerbahce (2-0) being won. Before the away defeat against Ankaragücü there were only two goals conceded in five away games.
In any case, the defense of the Anatolian Eagles is currently the flagship of the team. In twelve games there were only twelve goals conceded, so Konyaspor is statistically the third best defense in the Turkish upper house. Basaksehir (2) and Ankaragücü (4) have so far been the only two teams that have been able to give Konyaspor’s strong defense more than one goal.
If you consider the offensive problems the Thursday opponent from Kayseri had to struggle with so far, the strong back line of the Anatolian Eagles is actually facing a routine task on Thursday.
Coach Ismail Kartal will have a total of seven failures in Kayseri. Like last weekend, Kartal is expected to start again with a five-man chain in defense. It would therefore be more than surprising if the Thursday game between Kayserispor vs. Konyaspor fulfilled a forecast of over 2.5 goals.
