Konyaspor vs Başakşehir: Visitors Seek First Away Win
Published
Konyaspor face Başakşehir in the Süper Lig on Sunday 11 October 2026 at Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium in Konya. The home side enter Matchweek 7 having kept back-to-back clean sheets, while Başakşehir are searching for their first away points of the campaign.
Başakşehir seek their first away points
Başakşehir sit 12th in the Süper Lig table with seven points from six matches, scoring 10 goals and conceding 11. Their travel record provides a stark contrast to their home form: they have lost both away fixtures this season, scoring once and conceding seven times. That sequence includes a 2-1 defeat at Trabzonspor on 23 August 2026 and a 5-0 loss away at Amed on 13 September 2026.
The visitors responded to that heavy defeat with a 4-0 home victory over Gençlerbirliği S.K. on 19 September 2026. Top scorer Eldor Shomurodov has recorded six goals across all competitions this season, providing their primary attacking output. However, winger Edin Višća is doubtful for the trip due to an injury.
Konyaspor tighten up after slow start
Konyaspor occupy 15th position with four points from six games, having scored four goals and conceded eight. Their campaign opened with three consecutive defeats: 4-2 away at Fenerbahçe on 22 August, 1-2 at home to Kocaelispor on 29 Aug, and 1-0 away at Erzurumspor FK on 5 September.
Since then, defensive adjustments have yielded four points from two matches without conceding. Konyaspor defeated Trabzonspor 1-0 at home on 12 September 2026 and followed with a 0-0 draw away at Kasımpaşa on 18 September 2026. Over their three home matches in the competition, they have recorded one win and two losses. Forward Enis Destan remains ruled out through injury. Across their last five fixtures with chance data, Konyaspor have created an average of 1.15 expected goals while allowing 1.13.
Our model leans narrowly towards a Başakşehir win
Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards a Başakşehir win. Başakşehir have generated 1.53 expected goals per game over their last five matches with data, and they secured a 2-0 home victory in the most recent head-to-head meeting on 27 February 2026. However, their defensive record on the road—yielding 1.97 expected goals against per game overall and seven goals in two away matches—leaves little room for error against a Konyaspor defence that has gone 180 minutes without conceding.
