Konyaspor vs Karabukspor: Preview and Predictions
Konyaspor vs Karabukspor
Turkish Super Lig
Date: Monday, 11th December 2017
Kick off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET
Venue: Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium (Konya).
It is a six-pointer in the Turkish Super Lig when Konyaspor welcome Kardemir Karabuk on Monday night.
It is a surprise that Konyaspor are among the relegation candidates this season considering they were playing in the Europa League last season. Also, despite an inconsistent 2016/17 season, they finished things strong by clinching the league cup.
This time, things haven’t taken off for the Anatolian Eagles as they managed to win just 3 games in the league so far. Combined this with poor away results, they are currently sitting in the relegation zone wanting a win to move to safety.
On the other hand, the situation with Karabuk is even worse as they sit at the foot of the table and might need a couple of wins to steer towards safety. They have only 2 wins from their 14 matches so far, both at home and are yet to win in 7 away games.
Besides, Karabuk are coming on the back of a 6 match losing steak, much worse that Konya’s win-less streak of 4 games with 1 draw and 3 losses. The other stat that put Konya ahead is their home form, 3 wins and a draw from 7 games as against Karabuk’s 7 match win-less streak on the road, 2 draws and 5 losses.
Konyaspor vs Karabukspor: Head-to-head
Konyaspor got the better of Karabukspor in recent h2h meetings and are unbeaten in the last five with 3 wins and 2 draws.
Also, they won the last two home fixtures with clean sheets.
Konyaspor vs Karabukspor: Predictions
Having avoided defeats in half or their home games, Konyaspor stand a good chance of clinching this six pointer.
Dany Nounkeu has been the pick of the players in Karabukspor’s camp and his absence through injury will wide open the visitor’s back-line.
Moreover, Konya are unbeaten in the last 5 Super Lig fixtures against Karabuk. They should extend the streak to six games by Monday.
