Football Predictions
Still in with a chance of pipping Fenerbahce to a top-two finish in the final game week of the Turkish Super Lig season, Besiktas host Konyaspor at Vodafone Park on Wednesday evening.
Gunes’s side are guaranteed to finish either second or third by the close of play in midweek – a marked improvement on their sixth-placed ranking from last season – and a spot in the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League will soon await them. Konyaspor’s trajectory has been the opposite to that of Besiktas, though, as the visitors will settle for a low top-half finish after managing to sneak into third place last season, and a failure to convert draws into wins can largely be blamed for such a decline.
H2H/Stats
Senol Gunes’s side produced an attacking masterclass to thump Kasimpasa 5-2 last time out, while their seventh-placed visitors shook hands on a 1-1 draw with Fatih Karagumruk.
Besiktas have a 27-10 advantage against Konyaspor with 14 draws in 51 matches.
Team News
Besiktas will welcome back defender Omar Colley in their fold but Arthur Masuaku collected a milestone yellow card in the thrashing of Kasimpasa and hence will sit out of this tie.
Tayyib Talha Sanuc and Onur Bulut continue their recoveries from knee injuries, and goalkeeper Ersin Destanoglu recently underwent an appendectomy, sidelining him for a while too.
Visitors to Konyaspor will be without Francisco Calvo and Andreas Bouchalakis. Bruno Paz should be recalled to the starting team while Uche Ikpeazu (muscle), Muhammet Demir (foot), and Endri Cekici (foot) remain on the sidelines too.
Probable Line Ups
Besiktas XI: Gunok; Rosier, Colley, Uysal, Meras; Hutchinson, Ucan; Muleka, Fernandes, Tosun; Aboubakar
Konyaspor XI: Sehic; Oguz, Demirbag, Yazgili, Guilherme; Paz, Dikmen; Michalak, Pozuelo, Moreno; Diouf
Verdict
There is no reason why Besiktas shouldn’t walk away with all the points in this game as they want to be in Europe next season. It’s another time to show the home fans what they are capable of and we put our stake on a Besiktas win.
