As Konyaspor and Basaksehir prepare to meet at the Konya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu on 11 October, both teams come into the clash with points to prove and early season ambitions to revive.
The memory of their last encounter will be fresh for Konyaspor, who were outplayed by Basaksehir back in February. In that match, Basaksehir recorded a solid 2-0 victory as Davie Selke struck twice in quick succession early in the second half. The game was fairly balanced on shots, with both teams tallying 11 attempts, but Basaksehir held a slender edge in terms of possession and dangerous attacks, highlighting their more clinical touch in front of goal.
Looking at recent form, Konyaspor have struggled for consistency. From their opening six league outings, they have managed just one win and one draw, losing four times and averaging under a goal scored per match. Their attacking output has been modest, but back-to-back clean sheets against Trabzonspor and Kasimpasa have given Ilhan Palut a more stable base after a difficult start.
Their home record over the last 15 matches is more encouraging, as they have not been defeated in 80% of those matches, a trend that should give them confidence on their own turf. Moreover, against Basaksehir in their last 8 home meetings, Konyaspor have emerged victorious on 4 occasions.
Basaksehir, on the other hand, enter the fixture with reason to believe. Although their last six games include three defeats, they have netted 1.67 goals on average, showing a higher degree of attacking threat. Over the past 38 games in all competitions, they have claimed victory in exactly 50% of matches, while their forward options have again looked capable of changing matches quickly.
Their most recent league outing was a comprehensive 4-0 win over Genclerbirligi, with Andreas Skov Olsen, Davie Selke and Eldor Shomurodov, who scored twice, all on target. Shomurodov has been Basaksehir’s standout early-season attacker, while Selke remains a direct penalty-box option. However, their away form leaves room for concern: they have failed to win in 88% of their last 8 away matches, conceding nearly 2 per game in that stretch.
Konyaspor are expected to set up in a 4-2-3-1 under Ilhan Palut, with Bahadır Güngördü continuing in goal after returning for the recent improvement in results. The back line should again feature Uğurcan Yazğılı, Rayyan Baniya, Adil Demirbağ and Arthur Masuaku, while Marko Jevtovic and Melih İbrahimoğlu are likely to provide the double pivot. Deniz Türüç, Rajmund Tóth and Diogo Gonçalves should support Jackson Muleka.
Konyaspor Probable Lineup: Goalkeeper: Bahadır Güngördü. Defenders: Uğurcan Yazğılı, Rayyan Baniya, Adil Demirbağ, Arthur Masuaku. Midfielders: Marko Jevtovic, Melih İbrahimoğlu, Deniz Türüç, Rajmund Tóth, Diogo Gonçalves. Attacker: Jackson Muleka.
Konyaspor have named the same core attacking unit in successive positive results, with Tóth’s winner against Trabzonspor strengthening his case to remain in the XI. Jean-Luc Dompé, Ebrima Colley, Enis Bardhi and Mostafa Mohamed offer alternatives from the bench.
Basaksehir could retain the 4-4-2 shape that delivered the 4-0 win over Genclerbirligi, although Nuri Şahin also has the option of reverting to his usual 4-2-3-1. Muhammed Şengezer returned in goal for that win, while a reshaped defence of Michal Karbownik, Emin Bayram, Ousseynou Ba and Saba Kharebashvili kept a clean sheet. Skov Olsen and Ivan Brnić should provide width, with Olivier Kemen and Umut Güneş in midfield. Shomurodov and Selke are pushing to start together after both scoring last time out.
Basaksehir Probable Lineup: Goalkeeper: Muhammed Şengezer. Defenders: Michal Karbownik, Emin Bayram, Ousseynou Ba, Saba Kharebashvili. Midfielders: Andreas Skov Olsen, Olivier Kemen, Umut Güneş, Ivan Brnić. Attackers: Eldor Shomurodov, Davie Selke.
Deniz Dilmen, Jerome Opoku, Christopher Operi, Jakub Kaluzinski and Abbosbek Fayzullaev remain strong candidates if Şahin restores the side that started earlier league fixtures, but the emphatic Genclerbirligi response makes continuity more likely.
The algorithm leans toward a narrow 2-1 win for Konyaspor (probability: 41%). This is perhaps informed by their home resilience and Basaksehir’s continued away struggles. For Konyaspor, revitalizing their attack will be essential if they are to reverse the trend of their last meeting with Basaksehir.
It remains to be seen whether Konyaspor's defensive solidity at home or Basaksehir's attacking prowess on the road will prove decisive.
