Konyaspor take on the visitors Istanbulspor AS in the round 22 match of Super Lig. The match will be played on Thursday, February 2nd at Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium (Konya).
Konyaspor seriously lost their positions this season. The Eagles of Anatolia repeated their maximum result in 2021/2022 (in the championship - of course, the Turkish Cup and Super Cup in 2017 were also a significant achievement), taking bronze medals. But, the impression is that they were knocked down by a sensational defeat in the qualification to Vaduz, representing the dwarf country, Liechtenstein. Since the end of the summer, however, there was a successful period, with 5 victories in 6 rounds, but then it turned out to win only against Kayserispor. And in January there was a departure from the cup with the defeat of Besiktas and Ankaragucu. Expectedly, after that, they also lost to Basaksehir.

Istanbulspor returned to the Super League after a pause of 17 years. The "Yellow Bulls" were once one of the first national champions. And in the 90s, for the last time, more or less seriously, reminding of myself with the last entry into European competitions. But since 2005, they had to hang out in the First League of the country. And then from 4th place, through the playoffs. The experts did not believe in the prospects of the team at a new, higher level, and in the end they turned out to be right. True, recently the newcomer has started to win, at least occasionally: 2-1 with Kasimpasa back in December, 2-0 with Umraniyespor on January 15th. But in the last round at home they lost to Kayserispor 2-4.
During the first meeting since 2005, in August, the bronze winner won 4-0 on the rookie field. Konyaspor have enough problems of its own. But Istanbulspor is a newcomer and outsider of the season, and the hosting side has to take the maximum result with them. We recommend betting that the hosts will be able to win with a handicap of "-1 goal scored".
Prediction for the match: Konyaspor to win with -1.0 handicap.
