Konyaspor have won 27 points performing as the team playing at home. Giresunspor have 21 points playing the role of visitors. Could we look at anything else than a home win?

Insights:
  • Konyaspor is in the worst form (0-1-5)
  • Giresunspor have the fewest scored goals in the first half (5) in Super Lig

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Konyaspor form and stats

Konyaspor have played 11 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Konyaspor haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 449 minutes ago. Günok (own goal) scored that one.

Konyaspor faced defeat in their previous match, away at Fenerbahce (0-4). As you see from the result above, Konyaspor suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Dikmen got a match rating of 7.13 in that game, the max score being 10. Dikmen had 26 successful passes (of 31 total).

Before that game, the 5-0 home victory against Afjet Afyonspor.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Konyaspor matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats (from 8 games).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Konyaspor here at Konya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 11 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Konyaspor have conceded only 10 goals.

Giresunspor form and stats

Giresunspor have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Super Lig, after 2-5-5 (12 played). Recent form does not give Giresunspor much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Konyaspor will be a tough nut to crack.

Giresunspor might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Kayserispor proved too strong as Giresunspor slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Giresun Atatürk Stadyumu. Midfield player Savićević was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.63/10. Savićević hit the woodwork once and hit four key passes.

A 1-5 defeat away at Kasimpasa before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Giresunspor playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 3 home wins.

Observe that 9 of this side's 12 latest league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Giresunspor as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

Konyaspor have avoided a loss in the last 4 matches (3-1-0) facing Giresunspor.

Giresunspor - Konyaspor 0-1 was the result in these squads' latest head to head game, played this season.
