Match outlook: Konyaspor keen to steady the ship at home
Konyaspor return to the Konya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu on 24 November full of urgency. The hosts sit 9th in the Super Lig table after twelve rounds with 14 points, a mixed ledger of four wins, two draws and six defeats. Recent results underline a team capable of flashes of attacking punch — 18 goals scored so far — but also vulnerable at the back with 20 conceded. The last month has been inconsistent: a 2-0 loss at Fatih Karagümrük and setbacks against Samsunspor and Beşiktaş sandwich a couple of encouraging wins, including a 4-2 home success over 12 Bingölspor. That patchwork form shows Konyaspor playing with ambition but without defensive stability; their home goal split (9 scored, 11 conceded) suggests entertaining matches for the traveling fan and the neutrals.
Antalyaspor arrive wounded but willing to fight
Antalyaspor, placed 13th with 13 points from the same number of games, have also struggled for consistency. They have matched Konyaspor’s win total but fewer draws and more defeats, and a particularly leaky home defensive record contrasts with slightly steadier efforts away. Antalyaspor’s recent swing includes solid wins over Eyüpspor and Bursaspor, yet they were well beaten by İstanbul Başakşehir and edged out by Gaziantep F.K. in earlier fixtures. Their goals for tally (13) and a goals against figure of 23 paint them as a team that can be dangerous going forward but susceptible to pressure. A May meeting earlier this year saw Antalyaspor shade Konyaspor 1-0, adding a small layer of revenge narrative to this clash.
Key stats and what they mean for the betting markets
Shot and chance metrics favour Konyaspor. The hosts average nearly 98 attacks per game and boast a higher total shot count and shots inside the box than Antalyaspor, who record a lower shots average and fewer dangerous attacks. Both sides have produced about three wins in their last ten domestic outings, and neither boasts a sterling defensive record — clean sheets are rare. The bookmakers have reflected those trends: the match odds give Konyaspor clear favouritism with a 1.74 price and a quoted probability near 57.5%. The draw sits at 3.60 while an away win is priced at 4.80, suggesting the market expects a home victory is the likeliest outcome.
For bettors focused on goals, there is value in studying timing and momentum — a useful primer can be found on The right time to place bets on goal markets — while mental management of stakes is crucial, see How to have emotional control when placing bets? for guidance.
Betting suggestion: Back Konyaspor to win (1X2 market). The home side’s superior attacking metrics, home venue advantage and the market’s backing make Konyaspor the most probable result.
