Konyaspor vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
In the quarter-finals of the Türkiye Kupasi Galatasaray has pulled a supposedly light draw, because it goes against league rivals and relegation Konyaspor. But: Konyaspor is none other than the reigning cup winner. However, the club was also much stronger in the preseason. In this season threatens the descent, so the priority is certainly not on the cup competition. On the other hand, it would not be the first time that a success in the cup releases new forces for the league.
Konyaspor :
Four wins, four draws and already eleven defeats. This is the balance sheet of Konyaspor after nineteen games in the Süper Lig this season. This Konyaspor is on the penultimate place, which would mean in the end the transition to the 1st Lig. The 2018 calendar year began auspiciously, with Konyaspor scoring 1-1 at Trabzonspor in the away game of the new year and qualifying after a 1-0 win in the first leg of the Turkish Cup quarter-final. Five days later there was again the duel with Trabzonspor, but this time in the Süper Lig. Against the fifth league Konyaspor saved in the fourth minute of stoppage time still a 2: 2. Normally, such successes are good for morality. But apparently not in Konyaspor.
Because on the weekend led Konyaspor also relegation-threatened Genclerbirligi to break 1-0, but then lost but still with 1: 2, with Konyaspor conceded the second goal even in excess. So it remains that Konyaspor last time on 11.12.2017 could win a league game. That was a 2-0 home win over the defeated tail light Kardemir Karabükspor, which even Konyaspor has seven points ahead of penultimate. It was also the only win in the last nine games in the top division of Turkey. Konyaspor was on the road in the Europa League this season, but the emphasis is on “war”. With only one win, three draws and two defeats, the club dropped out of the group in third place.
Galatasaray:
Galatasaray made a tailor-made debut in the 2018 calendar year. The unbeaten 3-0 win in the second leg of Türkiye Kupasi in the Bucaspor amateurs was followed by two more victorious victories in the Süper Lig. Along with their two pre-winter successes, Galatasaray won last five competitive games all won. After Galatasaray scored exactly three goals in each of the first four of these five wins, it was “only” two goals at the weekend. Galatasaray are in second place thanks to thirteen wins and two draws, one point behind leader Basaksehir. Interesting side note: Of the four Istanbul clubs Basaksehir, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas, who lead the table in the Süper Lig, Galatasaray has the most defeats with four, but also the most wins with Basaksehir. In addition, Galatasaray is the best attack of the Süper Lig with 42 goals in 19 league games.
At home, the club is strong as a bear and comes in the league on nine home wins and a draw. Away, especially between the end of October and mid-December, the shoe squeezed out. During this period, Galatasaray had lost all four away games in the Süper Lig. Galatasaray was only able to finish this negative run on Monday last week, when the club won 3-1 at Kayserispor’s strong home side, who had lost just once before in nine home games.
