Konyaspor vs Alanyaspor: predictions and betting tips on the Turkish Süper Lig match on December 25, 2022
On December 25, Konya Buyuksehir Stadium (Selçuklu) will host the match of the 15th round of the Turkish Süper Lig, in which Konyaspor will compete with Alanyaspor. The battle will start at 14:00 CET.
Konyaspor
The club celebrated the 100th anniversary by repeating the best result in its history. As in 2016, “the Anatolian Eagles” were able to get bronze medals. Although, it goes without saying that people are still prouder of the cup that was won 5 years ago. It is important to mention that after the success, the team, which, however, managed to disgrace itself in the Conference League (how it could possibly be, after having won in the struggle with BATE, to lose the game to Vaduz!?), keeps approximately at the previous level. In this Süper Lig season, Ilhan Palut's wards have got 6 wins and draws, with only a couple of losses. Of course, in October – early November, the fans remember 5 rounds in a row without winning, and even a defeat at home to Gaziantep. But before going on rest, the team did cheer up the mood. Having conceded a goal in the 8th minute in the away match with Kayserispor, the guests managed to snatch the victory with a 2-1 score.
Alanyaspor
The team stopped just a step away from the European competitions last season. By the way, in 2020, “the Orange-Greens” have already started in the Europa League, however, everything ended there with relegation after the game with the very first opponent that was Rosenborg. In 2021/2022, the team scored 64 points – but Istanbul scored 1 point more, and eventually won the struggle for the 4th, “European” place. Those positions could not be held. The team, despite fairly good line-ups, rolled back to the middle of the standings. It seems that in October it has turned out to gain momentum – victories over Antalyaspor and Gaziantep were taken and also there was a draw with Galatasaray. Still, the team had taken only 1 point in the last 2 rounds held by the break.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Konyaspor was able to win only 1 match out of the previous 6 ones. At the same time, Alanyaspor has got 4 wins, including a 5-1 win in February.
Predictions
Bookmakers consider Konyaspor, which plays at home, to be the favourite of the battle. Still, Alanyaspor also needs points – thus, let's stop at a neutral offer “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.83).
