Konyaspor vs Eyüpspor: Match preview
Konyaspor sit 13th in the table and are currently involved in the fight for survival in the Super Lig. The team have 17 points after 17 rounds, with only a two-point gap to the relegation zone, so the battle to stay in the top flight is still fully ahead. In their previous match, Konyaspor beat their opponent 2–1 in the Turkish Cup. However, in the Super Lig they have gone seven matches without a win, drawing three times and losing four.
Eyüpspor are even lower in the standings, and their fight for survival in the Super Lig will not be easy either. After 17 league matches, the team have collected 13 points and sit in 17th place, which is within the relegation zone. The gap to 15th place is just two points, so nothing is lost yet. They are currently on a three-match winless run in the Super Lig, meaning they need to turn things around, just like Konyaspor.
Probable line-ups
- Konyaspor: Güngördü, Sitya, Subaşı, Yazgılı, Bjørlo, Jo, Andzouana, Bardhi, Nayir, Pedrinho, Muleka

Prediction
At home, I believe Konyaspor will be able to beat Eyüpspor. They have generally performed well on their own ground, so I am suggesting a bet on a Konyaspor victory in this match.
