Prediction

  • Istanbulspor caused a major upset keeping Adana Demirspor to a 2-2 draw last time out. As usual, they conceded countless chances but at least this time out, they were able to create quite a few of their own. They had caused a few similar upsets before in the season but were unable to build on them.
  • Konyaspor were demolished 7-1 by Fenerbahce last time out. This was an embarrassing performance and Keles was summarily dismissed before he even left the dressing room. With this squad, Konyaspor should not be in the league position they are. There are talks of fan-favorite Kocaman returning to the helm, which would undoubtedly lift Konyaspor up.
  • Although the players will feel despondent after such a humiliating scoreline, they will also have something to prove here. And we have seen often times how teams with enough quality do bounce back. Istanbulspor's frailties give Konyaspor an immense opportunity to get back on their feet.
