Preview: Antalyaspor vs. Konyaspor - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Monday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Antalyaspor and Konyaspor, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Antalyaspor will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 14 league matches when they welcome Konyaspor to the Antalya Stadium.

The visitors, meanwhile, enter the contest in third place, and they will be hoping to return to winning ways after losing last time out.


Match preview

Antalyaspor are currently enjoying a fine run of form after avoiding defeat in their last 13 Super Lig contests.

Since a 2-1 defeat to Caykur Rizespor on January 20, only Fenerbahce have picked up more points than Antalyaspor who have amassed 29 points from their previous 13 league games.

The unbeaten run has seen Monday's hosts move out of the relegation zone and all the way up to ninth place, with Nuri Sahin's side looking to clinch a top-half finish.

They fought back on two occasions to take a point off of Trabzonspor last weekend, with goals from Alassane Ndao and Haji Wright helping Antalyaspor secure a 2-2 draw.

Sahin's charges are also in impressive home form, and they have the chance to extend their unbeaten home league run to 12 games against Konyaspor.

The visitors, on the other hand, need to close four-point gap to second-placed Fenerbahce if they wish to qualify for the Champions League.

Although they will be hoping to move into second spot, Konyaspor will be pleased that they are guaranteed to end the campaign in the top four.

They have also improved considerably on last season's 11th-placed finish, while they could finish in top three for the first time since the 2015-16 season.

Despite enjoying a successful campaign, Konyaspor head into Monday's contest off the back of a home defeat to Fatih Karagumruk, with goals from Samed Onur and Yann Karamoh helping the visitors to a 2-1 victory after Zymer Bytyqi had given Ilhan Palut's side a first-half lead.

With a win ideally needed to keep the visitors in the hunt for second position, four defeats in their last seven away league games will concern Palut ahead of Monday's encounter.

Team News

Hakan Ozmert missed Antalyaspor's last match due to a muscle injury, and he remains a doubt for Monday's contest, while the hosts are also unable to call upon the services of Harun Alpsoy, Ufuk Akyol and Admir Mehmedi.

Sahin could make at least one change to the side, with Sheral Floranus expected to return to the back four.

Wright will continue to lead the line and the 24-year-old will be looking to score in a sixth consecutive game for the hosts.

As for the visitors, they have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Monday's contest, although they are still without the services of Amar Rahmanovic who will serve the final game of a four-match suspension.

Adil Demirbag will return to the backline after missing the Fatih Karagumruk contest through suspension.

Palut will have to make a decision about whether Sokol Cikalleshi or Koka leads the line, with the latter expected to get the nod.

Antalyaspor possible starting lineup:
Boffin; Floranus, Sari, Naldo, Vural; Fredy, Fernando; Ndao, Adriano, Sinik; Wright

Konyaspor possible starting lineup:
Sehic; Skubic, Demirbag, Bardakci, Guilherme; Dikmen, Hadziahmetovic; Michalak, Cekici, Bytyqi; Koka


SM words green background

We say: Antalyaspor 1-1 Konyaspor

The reverse fixture may have resulted in a Konyaspor victory, but the four meetings prior to that contest all ended in draws, and we think with Antalyaspor enjoying a positive run of form that the hosts will take a point off Konyaspor on Monday.
