Fenerbahçe vs Konyaspor prediction, H2H and probable lineups – December 15, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 16th round in the Turkish Super Lig will take place on Monday at Chobani Stadium in Istanbul, where the local side Fenerbahçe hosts Konyaspor. Here’s my pick for this match, which comes with solid chances of success.
Match preview
Since the appointment of Domenico Tedesco, Fenerbahçe have generally been displaying solid football. Under the Italian manager, the team has suffered only one defeat—a Europa League loss to Dinamo Zagreb. However, despite this, the Istanbul giants still have their share of problems, the main one being a high number of draws. For one of Turkey’s top clubs, dropping points so often is unacceptable.
In the Turkish league, Tedesco’s side have nine wins, six draws, and no defeats. Fenerbahçe are currently on a run of two consecutive draws—both matches ended 1-1. First, they shared points with Galatasaray, followed by another Istanbul club, Başakşehir. Recently, Fenerbahçe also played in the Europa League, confidently beating Norwegian side Brann 4-0, though it’s worth noting that the opposition went down to ten men early in the first half.
Konyaspor approach the clash with Fenerbahçe in poor form. The club recently changed their head coach: Çağdaş Atan replaced Recep Uçar at the helm. Under his guidance, Konyaspor have played five matches and managed only one win, which came in the Turkish Cup against Muşsspor (4-1).
At the moment, Konyaspor are winless in five straight games. This disappointing run has dropped them to 12th place in the table, just two points above the relegation zone. In this situation, the team urgently needs to improve results to avoid getting dragged into a survival battle.

- Konyaspor: Güngördü – Andzouana, Yazğılı, Ćalušić, Sityá – Jo, Ibrahimoglu, Bjorlo – Bardhi, Pedrinho, Nayir
Prediction
Fenerbahçe boast a powerful attack, but their defense is far from reliable and often makes unnecessary mistakes. That means both teams will have their chances to score in this clash—and they have the quality to take them. My prediction: both teams to score – yes.
