Monday night football in the Süper Lig brings a familiar kind of pressure game for Fenerbahçe: win at home, keep pace, and make sure the “nearly” doesn’t become a habit. After back-to-back draws, the Yellow Canaries are hosting Konyaspor knowing that further dropped points would not look pretty in a title race where Galatasaray are sat top of the table. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.

Hull City are tactically positioned to exploit Blackburn’s specific weaknesses. While Blackburn are strong at controlling territory, they are weak at defending counter-attacks—Hull’s primary offensive strength. The absence of Todd Cantwell significantly reduces Blackburn's creative variety, likely forcing them into a predictable wide-crossing game. Although Hull are missing Oli McBurnie, they possess sufficient individual talent in Joe Gelhardt and Ryan Giles to capitalize on transitions. Playing at the MKM Stadium, Hull’s ability to absorb pressure and strike quickly makes them a solid choice to progress in the cup.
▾
This scoreline reflects a competitive tie where both teams are likely to contribute to the scoreline. Hull average 1.6 goals per game, while Blackburn have consistently found the net but struggle to keep clean sheets against high-possession or counter-attacking sides. Blackburn’s crossing frequency should eventually test Hull’s aerial weakness, leading to a goal for the visitors. However, Hull’s efficiency on the break and Blackburn’s struggles with finishing should allow the Tigers to edge the contest by a single goal, maintaining the trend of Hull’s higher scoring output this season.

Fenerbahce vs Konyaspor Predictions and Best Bets
Fenerbahce vs Konyaspor — BetMGM Market Snapshot
Swipe through key markets with implied probabilities and example BetMGM odds.
The 1X2 line is heavily tilted towards the hosts, with the draw and away win priced at much bigger numbers.
The shortest correct-score prices cluster around home wins to nil or by a single-goal margin.
The goal lines are priced with a strong lean towards at least two total goals, while BTTS sits closer to even.
The shorter “cover” outcomes sit at very low numbers, while the half-time/full-time split shows a bigger jump in risk.
- Unbeaten foundation, real pressure on the chasers: Fenerbahçe have 9 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses in 15, which suggests a high baseline — and it matters because titles are built on avoiding slip-ups.
- Goal profile points to a busier scoreboard: Fenerbahçe matches average 3.07 total goals and Konyaspor’s average 2.93, hinting at games that can swing once the first goal changes the risks.
- Away shutouts have been rare for Konyaspor: their clean-sheet rate is 13% overall and 0% away, which matters because sustained home pressure often turns into goals eventually.
Match Tempo: Average Total Goals per League Game
Both sides have been involved in fairly “busy” games this season, and the total-goals averages hint at how open the 90 minutes could become once the first goal lands.
With 32 scored and 14 conceded across 15 games, their matches have regularly carried attacking momentum and scoreboard pressure.
Conceding 24 in 15 contributes heavily to that total, meaning games can tilt quickly when they’re forced into damage limitation.
Defensive Stability: Clean Sheets This Season
Clean sheets are a blunt measure, but they show how often a team can control game states and protect a lead once pressure starts building.
Allowing 0.93 goals per match overall, they’ve shown they can limit damage even when games are played in the opposition half.
With 1.60 conceded per match, they’ve often needed to chase games — and that tends to open space rather than close it.
Attacking Reliability: How Often They Score
This compares how regularly each side finds the net across league matches — a quick way to sense whether a team’s threat is constant or occasional.
Averaging 2.13 goals per match, they’ve typically generated enough chances to turn possession into actual scoreboard output.
Scoring 20 in 15 shows they’re not toothless — the question is whether they can keep the other end tight enough for it to matter.
Will Fenerbahçe’s home control be enough to break Konyaspor’s resistance on Monday night?
The league context matters here. Fenerbahçe are third with 33 points from 15 matches, scoring 32 and conceding 14. That’s a profile built around dominance and repeatability: 2.20 points per game, 2.13 goals scored per match, and just 0.93 conceded. Konyaspor, meanwhile, are 12th with 16 points from 15 matches, with 20 goals for and 24 against. Their 1.07 points per game and a 1.60 goals conceded per match paints a side that too often ends up defending long stretches and paying for it.
The match itself has a narrative hook too: both sides arrive with clearly different moods. Fenerbahçe’s recent sequence is listed as W-W-W-D-D, while Konyaspor’s reads L-L-D-L-D. That doesn’t decide anything on its own — football’s never that polite — but it does frame the likely game state. At home, Fenerbahçe have won five and drawn two (no defeats), and their home scoring rate sits at 2.14 goals per match. Konyaspor’s away record includes two wins, two draws and three losses, and their away conceded rate is 1.71 per match.
So what does it look like on the pitch? Fenerbahçe’s suggested XI points towards Ederson in goal, a back four of Muldur, Škriniar, Oosterwolde and Brown, with Yüksek and Fred as the central platform. Ahead of them, the attacking trio of Nene, Talisca and Aktürkoğlu sits behind En-Nesyri. Konyaspor’s listed line-up suggests Gungordu, a back four of Andzouana, Yagzili, Subasi and Guilherme, with Jin-ho in front, then Perdinho, Ibrahimoglu, Bjorlo and Bardhi supporting Nayir.
Even without dressing it up, the shapes implied by those names are the classic story: a home 4-2-3-1 built to own territory and create waves, against something closer to a 4-1-4-1 that needs discipline and timing to survive the first storm — and still carry a threat when the ball turns over.

Team news first: what the line-ups suggest
Start with the obvious: Fenerbahçe’s suggested XI is stacked for control. Yüksek and Fred as a double pivot gives them two natural ways to manage risk. One can anchor the base while the other steps forward to keep attacks alive, which is a big deal when you’re trying to pen a team in without being picked off on the break.
In front of that, Talisca operating as the central creator (as the line-up order suggests) is a direct invitation to play through the middle, especially with wide support from Nene and Aktürkoğlu. En-Nesyri is the point of reference: he’s Fenerbahçe’s top scorer with seven goals, so the whole structure is geared towards supplying a striker who is already converting chances at volume. The full-backs matter too. With Brown and Muldur listed either side of Škriniar and Oosterwolde, there’s a clear platform for width and overlaps — the type of pressure that forces a low block to keep sliding until it snaps.
Konyaspor’s listed shape reads like a team preparing for exactly that. Jin-ho sits as the screen, with Bardhi and Bjorlo likely asked to do a lot of the “second ball” work: dropping in to help, then trying to connect play forward when the moment opens up. Nayir is a serious outlet — he has seven league goals — and that changes how Fenerbahçe can defend transitions. You can’t casually leave big spaces behind the ball if you’re facing a striker who is already producing numbers.
The key tension, tactically, is whether Konyaspor can keep their distances short enough to protect the centre, while still offering enough on the counter to stop Fenerbahçe turning it into a training-ground siege. If they get pinned too deep, the game becomes about waves of possession and repeated entries. If they step out too aggressively, Fenerbahçe’s attacking line can find pockets between midfield and defence.
How the match could be played
Expect the first phase to be about territory. Fenerbahçe average 60% possession across the season (62% at home), which is a useful shorthand for how often they can dictate the rhythm. Possession isn’t “good” by itself, but it tells you something about where the match tends to live — and where the defending team has to do its work.
From there, the likely route is simple: circulate the ball, pull the Konyaspor midfield line side-to-side, and use Talisca’s central positioning to receive between lines when the screen gets dragged out of shape. Aktürkoğlu and Nene give width and angles for quick combinations; En-Nesyri offers the target when the ball goes into the box early or when the move reaches the byline.
Konyaspor’s best path is to make Fenerbahçe impatient. That means slowing the tempo, forcing shots from less comfortable areas, and timing their moments to jump: one press after a backwards pass, one aggressive step when the ball goes into a full-back, one trap near the touchline. If they can steal turnovers, Bardhi’s role becomes crucial — he has three goals and is one of their key outputs — because those transition moments are where an underdog can create “big” chances without building sustained possession.
And there’s another factor: both teams’ matches have leaned towards eventfulness. Fenerbahçe’s games average 3.07 total goals, while Konyaspor’s average 2.93. Again, that doesn’t force a script, but it’s consistent with a match where chances can come in clusters once the first goal changes the risk appetite.
Best Bet for Fenerbahçe vs Konyaspor
[bt4y_article_veil]
Fenerbahçe to win
Rationale
This selection leans on the match-up logic first, then the season outputs that support it.
Tactically, the suggested structures favour the home side. Fenerbahçe’s double pivot of Yüksek and Fred gives them a stable base to keep attacks rolling without turning the game into a coin flip. That stability matters because Konyaspor’s clearest threat comes when they can turn defence into attack quickly — using Bardhi’s link play and Nayir’s finishing. If Fenerbahçe can control the rest-defence (the shape they hold while attacking), they can press high and sustain pressure without constantly being dragged into recovery sprints.
The second layer is how reliably Fenerbahçe turn that kind of control into goals. They are scoring 2.13 per match overall and 2.14 at home. That statistic measures goals scored per game, and in this match it suggests Fenerbahçe don’t need a perfect performance to hit the scoreboard — they tend to create enough volume to score at least once, and often more. That matters because it changes what Konyaspor have to do: sitting in and hoping is rarely enough when the opponent is averaging over two goals a game.
Konyaspor’s defensive numbers reinforce the same picture. Conceding 1.60 per match overall — and 1.71 away — is a measure of how often they allow opponents to find the net. In this specific match-up, it suggests that even a well-organised Konyaspor block can still be breached, particularly if Fenerbahçe keep recycling attacks and forcing repeated defensive actions. The clean-sheet percentage pushes in the same direction: Konyaspor are on 13% overall and 0% away. That doesn’t guarantee they concede here, but it does underline how difficult they’ve found it to shut the door away from home.
There’s also the broader results profile. Fenerbahçe have nine wins and six draws from 15, with zero defeats. That measures their ability to avoid the “bad day” entirely, and it matters for a straight win pick because it suggests their baseline level has been high enough to collect points even when they’re not sparkling. At home, they’re unbeaten too (five wins, two draws). Konyaspor, by contrast, have seven losses in 15, and their recent sequence is listed as L-L-D-L-D. That’s not a moral judgement — it’s simply consistent with a side that has struggled to turn matches in their favour when the margins tighten.
Finally, the striker match-up is real. En-Nesyri and Nayir both have seven league goals. In a game where Fenerbahçe are likely to have more of the ball and more entries into the final third, the home side having a top scorer already delivering is a meaningful edge. It suggests that if the supply line functions — and the line-up points towards a strong supply line — the finishing is there.
What could go wrong
Two big risks sit in plain sight. First, Fenerbahçe have just drawn twice in a row, and their most common full-time scoreline this season is 1–1 (three times). If they dominate without turning pressure into an early goal, the game can drift into that “one moment” territory where a single transition, set-piece, or deflection flips the night. Second, Konyaspor’s BTTS rate is 73% and they score in 80% of matches, which suggests they’re capable of finding a goal even when they’re not controlling the game. If Konyaspor score first, this becomes a different emotional and tactical test.
Correct score lean
Fenerbahçe 2–1 feels the most consistent with the scoring indicators. Fenerbahçe are averaging 2.13 goals per match, while Konyaspor’s BTTS rate (73%) and away scoring rate (1.43 goals per match) point towards an away goal being a live possibility if the game opens up.
