Akhisarspor Prediction
Akhisarspor sit just one league position above the relegation zone with just one point separating them from third from bottom club Erzurumspor as they prepare for the visit of Konyaspor at their Spor Toto Akhisar Belediye Stad? on Monday night.
The hosts have produced mixed results in recent weeks as they’ve recorded wins against Antalyaspor and Fenerbahce but have also suffered defeats to Bursaspor and Kayserispor, the latter being away from home last time out but they return to home turf for this important clash.
Akhisarspor’s home record stands at 3-3-2 13/10 and again, results have been mixed but recent wins over Goztepe and Fenerbahce should give them confidence for this encounter as well as having the likes of forwards Manu (4 goals) and Seleznyov (3 goals) up front for the hosts.
Konyaspor Prediction
By comparison, Konyaspor sit in the relative heights of 8th place in the Turkish Super Lig and are just two points adrift of 4th placed Trabzonspor who occupy the last Europa League qualifying spot, but although the visitors have notched up six wins so far this season, most of them have been at home.
Four of Konyaspor’s six league wins have been registered at their Konya Büyük?ehir Belediye Stadyumu in Konya with wins over Erzurumspor, Ankaragucu, Alanyaspor and Kasimpa, but only two wins have been achieved so far this season by the visitors on their travels.
Konyaspor possess an away record of 2-4-2 10/11 which at first glance doesn’t appear to be too bad, but delve a little deeper and you’ll find that the visitors are without a win from their last five on the road with defeats at Goztepe and Trabzonspor in recent times.
Betting Tips Verdict
Akhisarspor’s home advantage together with Konyaspor’s recent run of away matches without a win makes the handicap option on the hosts a fairly reasonable pick here.
