Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Yeni Malatyaspor in 10th and Konyaspor in 13th place.
- Yeni Malatyaspor has the most points from losing position (13) in Super Lig
- Konyaspor have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Yeni Malatyaspor and Konyaspor should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats
Yeni Malatyaspor have played 12 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to Malatya İnönü Stadyumu after being equal after 90 minutes with Antalyaspor (placed 9th) on their last time out; the Super Lig game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Yeni Malatyaspor lost 0-2 at home to Trabzonspor.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Malatyaspor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won six, drawn four and lost two.
Malatyaspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Malatyaspor have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Konyaspor form and stats
There's been little loot from Konyaspor's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the Super Lig. Konyaspor only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Konyaspor, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Konyaspor playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Konyaspor win, five draws and four defeats.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Konyaspor have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
