Second-placed Konyaspor dropped points for the second time in a row last Friday. This was rather disappointing though as they were leading 2-1 against Kasimpasa, only for them to end the game with a 4-4 scoreline. They take a trip to the Basaksehir Fateh Tarim Stadium on Tuesday night as they take on the fallen giants Basaksehir away from home in the Super Lig. An away win at Rizespor with a clean sheet too, meant that Basaksehir is on a 3-game winning run now, and there is a big chance we might see Konyaspor dropping points again this week, leading to a clear pathway for Trabzonspor who are already 14 points leading at the top of the table.

4 clean sheets in their 4 wins recently mean that Basaksehir is running riot in the Super Lig with their recent form. This great defensive record has also led to 7 of their 8 games ending in under 2.5 goals being scored. But the past meetings with Konyaspor tend to differ. With both teams scoring in the last 5 meetings each, there have usually been over 2.5 goals whenever this fixture is played at any venue whatsoever. On top of it, we have Konyaspor who are the last hope of the Super Lig if Trabzonspor is to be caught in the title chase. The away side has dropped points in their last 3 games now with no win and consistent conceding to add to the misery.

We have no doubt that Konyaspor practically loses the title tonight as they will drop points again, owing to Basaksehir’s fantastic form off-late. This, in addition to the fact that now Basaksehir is in contention for Konyaspor’s second-placed position too, means that we can see Basaksehir winning this one. So, we are going to go for a Basaksehir Win in this game with a scoreline prediction of 2-1 to the home side.
