Projected at 25 points from 25 matches, their last home win—a 2-1 victory over Hatayspor (Feb 15, 2025)—offers hope at the Konya Metropolitan Stadium. At home, they’ve averaged 1.33 goals scored and 1.25 conceded per game, reflecting a gritty but defensively frail side that could exploit Trabzonspor’s inconsistent away form with a strong performance.

• Jakub Słowik (GK): 5 clean sheets; key to any defensive stand.

Trabzonspor

• Simon Banza (FWD): 10 goals in 2024/25; Trabzonspor’s leading scorer and physical presence.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Konyaspor’s 4-2-3-1 (1.20 goals per game) relies on Erdoğan’s finishing and Prijović’s vision to test Trabzonspor’s defense (1.44 goals conceded per game), which has been leaky on the road. Trabzonspor’s 4-3-3 (1.48 goals per game) thrives on Banza’s power and Višća’s creativity, exploiting Konyaspor’s backline (1.48 goals conceded per game). Konyaspor’s Alassane Ndao (doubtful, knock) and Trabzonspor’s Enis Destan (out, injury) could affect lineups, with Gaziantep Stadyumu’s 33,000 fans pushing for a home upset against a faltering Trabzonspor away side.
