Konyaspor form and stats

Konyaspor have collected 26 points from their Super Lig home games so far after 6-8-4. The home fans are hungry for more even though Konyaspor have been steadily collecting points here at Konya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu through three straight draws.

Konyaspor are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 184 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Kravets).

The fans are hoping that Konyaspor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Super Lig game against Galatasaray (placed 2nd). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Hatayspor that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Konyaspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Konyaspor as a small favourite), we find nine games. Konyaspor has won one of these, drawn five and lost three.

The Konyaspor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Konyaspor have only conceded 17 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Fatih Karagümrük form and stats

There's been little loot from Fatih Karagümrük's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 18 away games in the Super Lig. Fatih Karagümrük only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 8 draws.

Karagümrük delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Antalyaspor (placed 11th) in their previous match; a Super Lig game. Prior to that match, the Fatih Karagümrük manager D. Sassarini faced defeat when travelling to Trabzonspor and losing 0-2.

It looked so good for Karagümrük vs Antalyaspor, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fatih Karagümrük playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were four Karagümrük wins, eight draws and four defeats.

Karagümrük have scored 19 goals on their travels this season, from 18 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 26 goals have been conceded by Karagümrük in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
