📋 Team News: Konyaspor

Konyaspor boss Bulent Korkmaz has to choose a team with limited availability. Alper Uludag (Strain) and Volkan Findikli (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) can’t be considered.

We believe Konyaspor might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Ibrahim Sehic, Nejc Skubic, Ugur Demirok, Marin Anicic, Guilherme Haubert, Musa Cagiran, Amir Hadziahmetovic, Samuel Eduok, Deni Milosevic, Levan Shengelia and Erdon Daci.

⚡ Prediction

In our view, Konyaspor could well find it tough to score against this Gençlerbirliği outfit who we reckon will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

Therefore, we predict a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning margin for Gençlerbirliği when the full-time whistle blows.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
