Alanyaspor take on the visitors Konyaspor in the round 34 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 16th at Kırbıyık Holding Stadyumu (Alanya).
Sometimes you can be surprised out of the blue. It would seem that in very logical things, there should be no misunderstandings in Turkish football. However, Alanyaspor, who currently occupy a mid-table position, concedes the most goals in the Turkish league! And with each round, their status as the leakiest team only becomes more solid. After two consecutive wins, fans thought that at least by the end of the championship, the team would manage not to collapse in defense out of nowhere. As a result, they conceded four goals in Adana. Moreover, the opponent made nearly twenty shots on Alanyaspor's goal. They need to change their defensive line; there's no other way to get out of this situation.

Konyaspor, on the other hand, are the antithesis of today's opponent. They try to play very cleanly in defense, which they occasionally succeed in doing. But there's a reason why I've taken an interest in a match involving this team. In their last four encounters, they have consistently conceded goals. Sometimes, the goals they let in become a huge problem. They conceded two goals at home against Kayserispor, who played on the counter-attack. However, even positionally, the team has greatly deteriorated. When playing as the second team, they consistently concede at least one goal. Away matches have become a real problem because there is simply no confidence in the team.
In the first-round match, both teams engaged in a shootout. The over 2.5 total was easily achieved, and both teams scored twice. In general, historically, mid-table teams in the Turkish league have shown good attacking play in head-to-head matches. In recent encounters, Konyaspor has stopped playing solely from a defensive standpoint. Towards the end of the championship, the team has nothing to lose. Away matches are not a reason for the team to cling to their own goal. At the same time, Alanyaspor has the weakest defense in the Super Lig! They can't even hold their defense at home against such a feeble opponent. The only way out here is to take the over total without any hesitation.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
