Konyaspor
This weekend marks the final round of fixtures in the Turkish Super League, with Fenerbahçe hosting Konyaspor on Sunday at 2:00. For the neutral, this game is unlikely to be a thriller, with there being nothing significant riding on it in the final fixture of the season. Fenerbahçe currently sit second with 81 points, but with the league title already secured by Galatasaray a few weeks ago, they have nothing to play for. Moreover, they are 20 points ahead of third-placed Samsunspor, so slipping down a place will not be a worry.
As for Konyaspor, they are firmly cemented in 10th place and are set for a mid-table finish this season, which marks an improvement from last year when they finished just one point above the relegation spots. They currently have 46 points, nine points clear of relegation, but also eight points behind the European spots, which are currently held by Beşiktaş in fifth. However, a win could see them rise as high as seventh place, depending on other results.
As the match approaches, here is everything you need to know about the clash.
This match is not available to watch anywhere in the UK.
For the second season in a row, Fenerbahçe are set to finish second to their fierce rivals, Galatasaray, as they continue their dominance in Turkish football. However, this year, they are currently 18 points behind where they finished last season. Despite this, they remain in second place, meaning that had they been as consistent as last season, they could have won their first Super League title since 2014. Fenerbahçe come into this match in good form, having lost just once in their last eight fixtures, with that defeat coming last week away to Hatayspor. However, that loss occurred after they had already learned their fate for the season, which may have affected their performance.
Predicted Line Up (3-1-4-2): Çetin; Müldür, Škriniar, Djiku; Amrabat; Aydın, Talisca, Tadić, Kostić; En-Nesyri, Džeko
En-Nesyri has been the standout player for Fenerbahçe this season, contributing an incredible 23 goals and assists in just 21 starts, which suggests that, had he stayed fit throughout the entire season, the team could very well have been celebrating on Sunday. The veteran Dusan Tadić has also had a remarkable season, with 24 goals and assists to his name. However, despite their individual brilliance, it hasn't quite been enough to push Fenerbahçe over the line in the title race.
Konyaspor will be pleased with how this season has gone, especially after a nervy final gameweek last year, where they scraped out of the relegation zone by just one point, and so, they will be looking forward to the challenge this weekend against one of the biggest sides in Turkey. Konyaspor also come into this match on an impressive run of form, having won four of their last six league games, which has propelled them away from the bottom three and into a secure mid-table position, providing a solid foundation for them to build on for the next campaign.
Predicted Line Up (3-4-2-1): Ertaş; Demirbağ, Bazoer, Ćalušić; Ndao, Ibrahimoglu, Bjorlo, Sityá; Pedrinho, Erdoğan; Nayir
Slovakian forward Blaž Kramer has been the standout player for Konyaspor this season, with 12 goals and assists in the league. However, he is currently without a goal in his last five matches and will be eager to break his drought and finish the season strong on Sunday afternoon.
The last five encounters between these two sides have all taken place over the past three years and have provided plenty of drama, with a total of 18 goals scored in that time. In the last four meetings, Fenerbahçe have come out the happier side, winning three times and drawing once. However, almost three years ago, Konyaspor did manage to secure a rare victory over Fenerbahçe, which suggests that we shouldn't count them out on Sunday. With nothing to lose, Konyaspor could make things interesting in this final match of the season.
With all of that said, our team of betting experts recommend that the best tip for this game is BTTS. With the odds currently at 1.55 on Highbet, a £10 stake could see a potential return of up to £15.50.
