Konyaspor

Istanbul Basaksehir

KickoffSunday 11 October 2026, 11:30am

VenueKonya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu

CompetitionTurkish Super Lig

Konyaspor find themselves in a precarious position near the foot of the Turkish Super Lig table, and this weekend’s clash at the Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium feels like one they simply cannot afford to let slip. Four points from six games is a desperately lean return, and while the international break gave everyone a chance to breathe, Ilhan Palut will know his side need to start turning draws and narrow wins into something more consistent. A home fixture against a Basaksehir side that cannot buy a win away from home is about as good as the fixture list is going to offer right now.

For Istanbul Basaksehir, the picture is only slightly more comfortable. Nuri Sahin has watched his team blow hot and cold throughout the early weeks of the campaign, and that brutal 5-0 hiding against Amed SK is not the kind of result you shake off overnight. A thumping win over Genclerbirligi before the break steadied the ship, but their away record this season is genuinely alarming. Three defeats on the road, nine goals conceded, one scored. Coming to Konya and picking up anything would represent a serious improvement on recent travelling form.

Konyaspor vs Istanbul Basaksehir Match Details

This Turkish Super Lig fixture takes place at the Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium in Konya, with Konyaspor hosting in what is a vital early season six pointer for both clubs looking to move away from trouble and find some consistency before the campaign really takes shape.

Team News

Palut has been handed a rare piece of good fortune on the injury front, with Konyaspor reporting no fresh absences heading into this one. That gives him a full squad to pick from and some genuine flexibility in how he sets his side up. Basaksehir are not quite so lucky, with experienced winger Edin Visca still sidelined after picking up an injury back in August. He has not featured since and there is no indication he will be involved here.

• Konyaspor: No reported injury absences
• Istanbul Basaksehir: Edin Visca out (injury, August)

Predicted Lineups

Palut looks set to stick with the same basic shape that ground out results against Trabzonspor and Kasimpasa before the break. Jackson Muleka leads the line and will be desperate to get off the mark for the season, with Deniz Turuc and Diogo Goncalves providing support from wider areas. The midfield pairing of Jevtovic and Ibrahimoglu will be asked to offer solidity as much as anything else, given how exposed Konyaspor have looked at times this season.

Sahin is expected to go with Davie Selke through the middle, with Eldor Shomurodov in behind him after the Uzbek striker’s brace in that thrashing of Genclerbirligi. Andreas Skov Olsen offers genuine quality on the right, and the question is whether Basaksehir can actually string their attacks together on the road the way they have started to at home.

• Konyaspor: Gungordu; Yazgili, Baniya, Demirbag, Masuaku; Jevtovic, Ibrahimoglu; Turuc, Goncalves, Toth; Muleka
• Istanbul Basaksehir: Sengezer; Kharebashvili, Bayram, Opoku, Karbownik; Kemen, Gunes; Skov Olsen, Brnic, Shomurodov; Selke

Recent Form

Konyaspor’s start to the season was about as bad as it gets. Four straight defeats to open the campaign, including losses at home to Caykur Rizespor and Kocaelispor alongside a thrashing at Fenerbahce and a narrow loss at Erzurumspor. The club looked in serious bother. But the last two league outings have shown something more encouraging. Beating Trabzonspor 1-0 at home is no mean feat regardless of where either side sits in the table, and following that up with a point at Kasimpasa suggests there is some defensive backbone forming. The friendly draw against Palestine during the break will not tell us a great deal, but at least the players got minutes in the legs without any fresh injury scares.

Basaksehir opened with a confident 2-0 win over Kocaelispor and looked like they might be genuine top half contenders. Then the wheels came off spectacularly. Defeats to Trabzonspor and Galatasaray were painful but at least understandable given the opposition, but getting hammered 5-0 by Amed SK was a genuinely shocking result that will have rattled confidence throughout the squad. The 1-1 draw with Kasimpasa in that run barely registered as a positive. The Genclerbirligi win was emphatic and badly needed, with Shomurodov grabbing a brace and Selke and Skov Olsen also getting on the scoresheet, but it came at home. Away from Istanbul this season, Basaksehir have been absolutely woeful, and that trend feels significant heading into this one.

The contrast between Konyaspor’s improving home record and Basaksehir’s terrible away form is the defining dynamic of this preview. Palut’s side have now gone two games without losing and will carry real belief into this fixture having beaten a Trabzonspor side of genuine quality earlier in the month.

Head-to-Head Record

The recent head to head between these two sides tells an interesting story. In their last four meetings, each side has won twice, but the crucial detail is where those wins have come. Konyaspor have won their last two home fixtures against Basaksehir, suggesting that when the Anatolian Eagles get to play in front of their own crowd against this opponent, they tend to make it count. That is a genuine psychological edge for the hosts here.

Basaksehir will need to find a way to break that recent home trend if they are going to take anything from this trip. Given their away form across all competitions this season, that is a big ask, even accounting for the attacking quality they carry through Shomurodov and Selke.

Key Stats

• Konyaspor have scored just four goals in six Super Lig games this season, averaging fewer than a goal per game at a worrying rate
• Basaksehir have conceded nine goals and scored just once across their last three away games in all competitions, a staggering defensive collapse on the road
• Konyaspor have won their last two home fixtures against Basaksehir, giving the hosts a clear advantage in recent head to head meetings at this venue

Konyaspor vs Istanbul Basaksehir Betting Tips

This is a tight one to call on the result market, but the underlying numbers point in some clear directions. Basaksehir’s away form is genuinely dreadful, and while they have the quality to nick something, I would not be backing them to win here. Konyaspor’s home record against this opponent and their recent defensive improvement make them worth backing to avoid defeat at minimum, and the goals markets look particularly interesting given both sides’ tendency to be involved in low scoring affairs recently.

Cards Prediction

A relegation threatened home side against a visiting team that has conceded goals for fun on the road feels like a recipe for some heated moments. Konyaspor will be aggressive and combative, and Basaksehir’s players may well show their frustration if things go against them. Back over three cards in this one as a reasonable shout.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

This is close to a coin flip, but I am leaning towards no. Konyaspor have only scored four times in six league games and their attack has been misfiring badly. Basaksehir have the firepower, but have scored just once across three away games. A tight, low scoring affair feels more likely than an open game where both keepers get beaten.

Correct Score Prediction

A 1-1 draw feels like the most natural landing point here. Basaksehir have enough quality to find a goal even away from home, and Konyaspor have shown they can score at home, but neither attack looks convincing enough to pull away and win comfortably. Points shared, with one goal each the most probable scenario.

Corners Prediction

With both sides likely to be cautious and the game expected to be tight and cagey, corner volumes could be moderate rather than high. Konyaspor will push forward at home and Basaksehir may look to hit on the break rather than bombard the box. Under ten corners for the match feels like the safer side of the market to be on here.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Eldor Shomurodov is the standout pick despite the away context. The Uzbek forward has six Super Lig goals already this season and grabbed a brace against Genclerbirligi just before the break. He is in form, he is confident, and he will fancy his chances against a Konyaspor back line that has been beaten in four of their six league games. He looks the value option for first scorer.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Under 2.5 goals is the call. Konyaspor have been involved in low scoring matches throughout this campaign, and Basaksehir’s away games have been similarly sparse when it comes to goals in their favour. The form of both defences, particularly when the road team is Basaksehir, points towards a game that stays tight and does not produce a cricket score.

Bet Builder Tip

A draw at under 2.5 goals with Shomurodov getting his name on the scoresheet first ties together the tight, cagey nature of this fixture with the one player most likely to make the difference on the day.

Final Match Prediction

Konyaspor at home against a Basaksehir side that cannot defend on their travels is a genuinely interesting proposition. Palut’s side have momentum, home advantage, and a head to head record at this ground that will give the whole squad confidence. The win over Trabzonspor proved they can mix it with decent opposition when they need to, and they will be fired up here knowing that a win could lift them comfortably clear of the bottom three.

That said, Basaksehir have too much individual quality to be completely written off. Shomurodov in particular looks dangerous, and Skov Olsen can cause problems for any back four in the league. I think the points will be shared in the end, with neither side quite finding a way to clinch it. Konyaspor 1-1 Istanbul Basaksehir is the call, and honestly, both managers might take that before kickoff given where their respective seasons are right now.
