Konyaspor is set for a trip to Antalya Stadyumu this Monday for a battle against Antalyaspor who is going aiming for the top half finish in the Super Lig. Kickoffs schedules for 20:00 EAT.
Antalyaspor are currently enjoying a fine run of form after avoiding defeat in their last 13 Turkish Super Lig contests. The unbeaten run has seen Monday’s hosts move out of the relegation zone and all the way up to ninth place with 58 points. Since a 2-1 defeat to Caykur Rizespor on January 20, only Fenerbahce have picked up more points than Antalyaspor who have amassed 29 points from their previous 13 league games.
The hosts prepare for this fixture off the back of 2-2 Super Lig stalemate vs Trabzonspor in their last encounter. In that game, Antalyaspor had 60% possession, 12 shots with seven of them on target and goals scored by Alassane Ndao (51′) and Haji Wright (80′). Trabzonspor got nine shots with five of them on target and goals by Andreas Cornelius (3′) and Dorukhan Toköz (62′).
Meanwhile, Konyaspor need to close four-point gap to second-placed Fenerbahce if they wish to qualify for the Champions League. The club has improved considerably on last season’s 11th place finish, while they could finish in top three for the first time since the 2015/2016 season. Although they will be hoping to move into second spot, Konyaspor will be pleased that they are guaranteed to end the campaign in the top four.
Konyaspor and their travelling fans want better results following 1-2 Super Lig loss to Fatih Karagümrük last time out. In that game, Konyaspor had 51% possession, 15 shots with two of them on target and a goal scored by Zymer Bytyqi (23′). Fatih Karagümrük got 11 shots with three of them on target and goals by Samed Onur (81′) and Yann Karamoh (84′).
