Round 19 of the Turkish Super Lig comes to an end when Konyaspor and Fenerbahce square off at the Konya Buyuksehir Arena on Monday. Both sides head into the game off the back of securing victories in the Turkiye Kupasi and will be looking to keep the ball rolling.
Konyaspor kicked off the 2024-25 Turkiye Kupasi campaign on a high as they picked up a 1-0 home victory over 1.Liga outfit Corum at the Corum Sehir Stadyumu last Thursday.
This followed a 2-1 league defeat at the hands of Alanyaspor in their first outing of the year on January 3, a result which saw their six-game unbeaten run come to an end.
Konyaspor have picked up 20 points from their 17 Super Lig games to sit 13th in the standings but could move into ninth place with a win on Monday.
Fenerbahce, on the other hand, cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Kasimpasa at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium in their Turkiye Kupasi opener on January 9.
Jose Mourinho’s men return to action in the Super Lig, where they are unbeaten in their last three games, claiming two wins and one draw since a 1-0 loss against rivals Besiktas on December 7.
With 39 points from 17 matches, Fenerbahce are currently second in the league standings, eight points adrift of league leaders Galatasaray.
Buoyed by their hard-fought win over Corum, Konyaspor will head into Monday’s clash with renewed confidence as they look to move into the top half of the table.
However, Mourinho’s men boast the firepower needed to get the job done and we are backing them to secure all three points at the Konya Buyuksehir Arena.
