Konyaspor take on the visitors Fenerbahce in the round 19 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Monday, January 13th at Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium (Konya).
Konyaspor continues to deliver modest results. The "Anatolian Eagles" once achieved remarkable success, winning the Turkish Cup and securing a bronze finish in the Super Lig in the mid-2010s. They managed to replicate that 3rd-place finish in 2022, but their fortunes have since steadily declined. First, they slipped to 8th, and last season narrowly avoided relegation by finishing 16th. Improvement seemed inevitable, especially after a coaching change in the fall, but progress has been relative at best. Despite moments of promise, Konyaspor remains stuck in mid-table obscurity. Their recent 4-0 win over a weak Çorum side in the cup was unconvincing, given the opponent's lack of quality. In the league, they’ve won only one of their last six matches, a narrow victory over a struggling Adana Demirspor. Their latest outing ended in a 1-2 loss away to Alanyaspor, dropping them to 13th place. Although the coaching change provided a short-term boost, Konyaspor’s lack of consistency continues to undermine their efforts. The team struggles defensively, particularly in away fixtures, which makes them vulnerable against stronger opponents.

Fenerbahçe have not won the Super Lig title since 2014, but the appointment of José Mourinho over the summer raised expectations. The iconic manager’s arrival made Fenerbahçe the clear favorites for the championship. However, the honeymoon phase ended quickly. In August, they were eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers by Lille, conceding a decisive goal in extra time despite the French side being down to 10 men. Domestically, they suffered defeats to rivals Galatasaray and Beşiktaş, the latter still reeling from van Bronckhorst's dismissal at the time. Moreover, Fenerbahçe has failed to defeat any of the Super Lig's top six teams so far. On a positive note, Mourinho retained his position and began 2025 with a solid win over Hatayspor. In the Turkish Cup, they convincingly defeated Kasımpaşa 3-0, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite early setbacks, Mourinho’s tactical adjustments seem to be yielding results, particularly in recent matches. The team’s attacking unit has shown signs of improvement, though defensive lapses remain a concern.
The "Canaries" have won three of the last five head-to-head matches against Konyaspor, suffering just one defeat during this stretch. Mourinho's side is significantly stronger and should confirm their superiority on the pitch. We recommend betting on Fenerbahçe to win with a handicap of "-1 goal."
Prediction for the match: Fenerbahce to win with -1.0 handicap.
