Konyaspor vs Fenerbahce
Turkish Super Lig,
Date: Monday, 24th October, 2016.
Kick-Off at 18:00 UK
Venue: Torku Arena, Konya.
The 8th round of the Turkish Super Lig will be concluded on Monday evening with the game that will be played at the Konya Buyuksehir Torku Arena in Konya between Konyaspor and Fenerbachce. These two teams have met in 22 head – to – head clashes so far and in those 22 matches, Konyaspor has won on 3 occasions while Fenerbahce won on 18 occasions.
Konyaspor is having a solid first part of the season so far. In the first 7 rounds of the Turkish Super Lig, Konyaspor has won 10 points and they are currently in the 8th place in the table. Their next opponent is not having good season at all. They have won only 9 points from 10 games and their last game against Manchester Untied in the UEFA Europa League that they have lost 4 – 1 proved that something is seriously wrong with the team. The one good thing from that game is that Robin van Persie is back and that he is scoring goals once again.
If we look at the last five games of both teams we will be able to see that Konyaspor has won in one game, lost in two and in the remaining two games they won 2 points. On the other hand, Fenerbahce in the same period also played five games in those five games they have won in two games, lost in one and in the remaining two games they have won 2 points.
In regards to our betting recommendation for this game, we believe that it is too hard and too dangerous to pick a final winner of this game. However, what we are recommending as a safe bet is that the fans at this game will not see more than 2.5 goals (4/6).

Konyaspor vs Fenerbahce: Prediction
This is expected to a be an extremely close battle with two teams coming on the back of some good form. But both are yet to excel at the same level as last season. However, the home teams dominance play a vital role in analysing the outcome of this match and as a result Konyaspor are slight favourites. But Fenerbahce have better quality players with experience on their back. And we believe they will hold Konya to a draw here.
The previous three league matches between the two sides at the Torku Arena have seen both teams scoring at least once. As a result, our main pick for this match is both teams to score. The punters who like to take a risk could back the correct full-time score of 1-1, which is at an excellent odd of 5/1.
