Beşiktaş - Konyaspor predictions

With the odds set at 1.40 for a home win, Beşiktaş winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Konyaspor fans are expecting them to triumph at Beşiktaş this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

A lot is expected from Beşiktaş – certainly more than what they showed in the last away game against Gazişehir Gaziantep . An early lead soured for them as their opponents caught up and maintained a draw until the very end. While 1:1 wasn’t a catastrophe by any measure, it still feels like a wasted opportunity.

The away team had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, but their opponents Eyüpspor were still a tough nut to crack. It took them more than half the game to get a leg up, but Konyaspor eventually pulled through for a narrow 2:1 win.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Konyaspor can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

The 3rd spot in the standings Beşiktaş currently hold is promising – though they’re set on moving up further into the Champions League spots, Europa League finish to the season would still be a good prize for the hosts.

If Beşiktaş managed to keep the form they had last season, this match won’t be a big problem for them. They defeated Konyaspor more than once that year, and every instance was a decisive result with a goal difference of over 2.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Ersin Destanoglu, Necip Uysal, Milot Rashica, Almoatasembellah Ali Mohamed are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Beşiktaş’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.90, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
