Galatasaray hosts Konyaspor in round 38 of the Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 28th at Türk Telekom Stadyumu (Istanbul)
Galatasaray is trying to overtake Besiktas, which practically does not make mistakes. But the Yellow-Reds lack luck in many matches. If we look at the relatively recent results, Galatasaray lost to Rizespor and conceded a fatal goal at the very end of the match. And it happened because the Lions were left in the minority 10 minutes before the end of the game. Before the red card, there were all chances to end the game in their favor. The draw with Karagumruk was similar. The red card largely deprived Galatasaray of victory. There was also a defeat to Hatayspor, but this team represents the top ten and played at home. Well, perhaps that's all. Galatasaray did not give out more points to average teams. In general, the Lions are doing well in the games against the representatives of the second half of the standings. They beat Antalyaspor, Goztepe, Kayserispor, and so on. Those matches were played not so long ago, and Galatasaray won away. But the team looks much better at the native stadium – only two defeats this year.

Konyaspor is going through hard times now. The team gained only two victories in the last 11 games. Recently, the Anatolian Eagles mostly met with the middle peasants. Therefore, there were not many defeats. However, Konyaspor often had problems in matches against the leaders of this season. They lost to Fenerbahce with an indecent score and suffered two defeats from Besiktas. Therefore, the match versus Galatasaray is unlikely to bear any fruit. Moreover, Konyaspor is many times worse away. The Eagles can still show their mettle and compete on an equal footing at home, but their game becomes too weak at foreign stadiums. This year Konyaspor beat only Yeni Malatyaspor and Erzurum away. The first ones are very close to the relegation zone, and the second ones are already in it. In the recent games, Konyaspor limply lost to the seventh Sivasspor and Rizespor, which is even lower. That is, the Eagles experience great difficulties in matches versus middle peasants. It will be even more difficult to compete for points with one of the leaders.
The over-motivated Galatasaray will take the field to win exclusively, as Besiktas is still within reach. Therefore, the Lions must earn three points in matches against the middle peasants if they want to keep the chances of winning the championship. And the advantage in head-to-head meetings will only help Galatasaray. Konyaspor has never beaten the Yellow-Reds at Turk Telekom. I think that this visit will not please the Eagles with anything positive either. Galatasaray is obliged to defeat the middle peasant.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win
