With a tight race in the Turkish Super Lig, Konyaspor looks to extend their winning streak this week when they face off against struggling Yeni Malatyaspor. The match is scheduled for Tuesday at the Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadyumu, kickoff at 8 pm.
Konyaspor is pretty much in a different situation as Yeni Malatyaspor. They have won only three points so far and are sitting at the league’s bottom.
Konyaspor, on the other hand, has won five of their last six games in all competitions, and we have to see them as clear favorites against Yeni Malatyaspor, who have been struggling badly to score goals of late.
Heading into Matchday 15 of the Turkish Super Lig, bottom-half strugglers Yeni Malatyaspor will be aiming to get out of the red and start moving up the table when they host Konyaspor on Tuesday afternoon.
There is no point in crying over spilled milk, but the loss last weekend had to be a major disappointment for both the manager and the players.
Gaziantep FK is one of the weakest teams in the entire division, and they haven’t won a single league game so far. No wonder Palut’s men let that one slip through their fingers.
Malatyaspor is in poor form right now but is still missing some key players. They will hope to get back on track with a home win.
