Konyaspor vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
This is not how Galatasaray imagined the start of the new year. The Lions from Istanbul not only left important points in the title race in the most recent home game, but also had to say goodbye to the championship lead. In addition to the black and white city rival, who is currently on pole position, the surprise team from Alanya also passed Gala.
During the week, the Turkish record champions have their next task. In Konya the table runner-up will meet the Anatolian eagles and, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows, is in the favorite role.
Just like the lions from Istanbul, Konyaspor started the new calendar year with a defeat. The away bankruptcy of the newly promoted Hatay was by no means surprising, after all, there are currently some losses among the Anatolian Eagles. The tense personnel situation continues in the home game against the Turkish record champions – a good omen for Gala?
Konyaspor :
Over the current season Konyaspor stayed away from the relegation places, in the meantime the Central Anatolian club was even in a single-digit table position. In the last few weeks the Anatolian Eagles have been downhill again, down to twelfth place in the table. The points cushion on the relegation places is now only four points.
Last weekend, head coach Ismail Kartal’s team suffered their first defeat of the new calendar year. The green-whites just missed a point, after all, the equalizer was canceled by the video referee in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
If you consider the personnel worries the Anatolian Eagles are currently struggling with, winning points in the run-up to the upcoming home game would have been a real motivational boost.
As in the away game at Hatay, Konyaspor will be out of numerous players on Tuesday evening. A total of nine players are missing from the home game against the Turkish record champions due to injuries. Above all, the failures of offensive players such as Miya, Hurtado and Sahiner are serious.
Compared to the latest squad, there are no changes among the green-whites. So far, Konyaspor has a record of 3-2-2 in seven home games of the 2020/21 Süper Lig season. Only the home games against Sivasspor (0: 1) and Basaksehir (1: 2) were lost.
Should the Anatolian Eagles score points despite the personnel situation, Konyaspor vs. Galatasaray paid high odds for a corresponding tip.
Galatasaray :
Almost a week ago the Turkish record champions were still at the top of the table with 29 points, now the Lions from Istanbul are only in third place in the table. In addition to city rivals Besiktas, Alanyaspor also overtook the lions from Istanbul with the better direct comparison.
The draw in the most recent home game against Antalyaspor was always serious, because in addition to the point losses, the options in the squad were also restricted. In addition to Emre Kilinc, who was sent off in the second half, star striker Radamel Falcao was injured and is out for a month for the time being.
In any case, the personnel situation in the run-up to the upcoming away game is not exactly ideal. A total of ten players are not available on Tuesday evening, including six players with starting eleven potential from the attack department.
In a foreign country, Galatasaray has been just a harmless kitten in recent years. The current away record of the Turkish record champions is all the more surprising, after all, after arch rivals Fenerbahce, most away points were taken in the Süper Lig.
So far, Galatasaray only lost the two away games at Kasimpasa and Fatih Karagümrük. Most recently, the Lions from Istanbul even prevailed in the difficult away game on the Black Sea, where a 2-0 win was recorded in the traditional top game against Trabzonspor.
After the weak performance last weekend, Konyaspor vs. Galatasaray nevertheless rather advise against a prognosis on the guests. The Tuesday opponent is one of the best defenders in the Turkish House of Lords. Due to the current personnel concerns, especially on the offensive, it would not be surprising if Gala let down for the second time in a row.
