Konyaspor vs Trabzonspor Prediction & Betting tips
The first half of the season could hardly have gone worse for Konyaspor. The Anatolian eagles buckled after a strong start to the season. In the meantime, Konyaspor is already 15th in the table and has been without a win since the seventh matchday in the Süper Lig. On Monday evening, the home game against Trabzonspor is now under floodlight.
Since Antalyaspor and Ankaragücü only played draws in the direct cellar duel, Konyaspor got off lightly in the event of a possible loss to the Black Sea club. However, if the negative series continues, it will only be a matter of time before Konyaspor slips to a relegation zone. It is therefore all the more important to score three times in the last home game of the first half of the season.
Bookies see Konyaspor vs. Trabzonspor as a light underdog according to odds. However, last year’s runner-up Basaksehir felt that the green-whites should not be underestimated. Konyaspor won a well-deserved point in Istanbul.
Konyaspor wants to take advantage of the home advantage against Trabzonspor so that a small liberation in the relegation battle succeeds before the winter break. Despite the shape crisis of the Anatolian eagles, we would venture a forecast on the home side at Konyaspor against Trabzonspor.
Konyaspor:
Aykut Kocaman is the figurehead of Konyaspor. With the Turkish Cup 2016/17, Konyaspor won a title for the first time in club history. This made the coach a living legend at the Anatolian club. Almost two years ago, he moved back to Fenerbahce, but had to leave the traditional club after not being successful.
Kocaman has been back at his old place of work since last season. Konyaspor got off to a strong start this season. The Anatolian Eagles suffered only one defeat until matchday seven. Since then it has not been going smoothly for the green-whites from Konya.
Konyaspor is now eight matches in a row without a win and has even been eliminated from the Turkish Cup against an amateur club. Last matchday there was a surprising point win at last year’s runner-up Basaksehir, which at least radiated some optimism.
However, confidence in the current head coach continues to decline. Among other things, the lack of stability on the defensive is criticized. In order for the team to find their way back to success, newcomers to the winter transfer window are probably essential. With 14 goals, Konyaspor is currently the third weakest offensive team in the Süper Lig.
On Monday evening, only two players will be missing from the Anatolian Eagle squad. Marin Anicic (suspended) and Savas Polat (injured) have to pause.
Trabzonspor:
The Black Sea club also missed points on a weekend when the entire title competition failed. A loss of points by Trabzonspor in the home game against Denizlispor was hardly foreseeable.
The Black Seaers kicked off strongly with a furious first half and could even have expanded their lead in the meantime. The team from Ünal Karaman did not pick up on the good first round and was penalized with two goals by the promoted team from Denizli.
This means that little has changed in the table constellation. Monday night is the away game in Konya, where Trabzonspor wants to record their third away win in a row.
With twelve points from seven away games, Trabzonspor is the strongest away team in the league behind Basaksehir. Abroad, the Bordeaux Blues have only lost the game with the leaders from Sivas. Statistically, Trabzonspor, with 28 goals, is the fourth strongest offensive in the league, but undoubtedly has the best attack of the Süper Lig.
So far, the Black Sea club has managed to convince with attractive offensive football. It harmonizes perfectly between players such as Sturridge, Nwakaeme and Sörloth. Only the long-term injured Abdülkadir Ömür is missing from Ünal Karaman’s current game system. To what extent the offensive jewel will be operational in the second half remains to be seen.
In Konya, there will be no new outages at Trabzonspor. In addition to the long-term injured Ömür, Ahmet Canbaz is still missing. Changes compared to the youngest starting eleven are not expected.
