Konyaspor form and stats

When playing at home in the Super Lig, Konyaspor have managed 6 wins, 7 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 17 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Konyaspor are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 3-5 away versus Rizespor. Before that, Konyaspor drew at home versus Kayserispor.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Rizespor) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-5. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

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 eight games. Konyaspor has won one of these, drawn four and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Konyaspor as they are travelling to their away game against Galatasaray in the Super Lig. That match is four days after this one.

Konyaspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Konyaspor's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. 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.

Hatayspor form and stats

Hatayspor go into this game after a win, the home game against Antalyaspor that ended 3-2. A 1-1 draw at Trabzonspor's stadium before that.

Hatayspor goalie Munir was high and low in the Antalyaspor game, contributing seven saves towards the victory.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Hatayspor in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Hatayspor, six draws and four defeats.

After this away game Hatayspor return home for a Super Lig game against Gençlerbirliği. That game is only three sleeps after this.
