Erzurumspor are still settling back into life in the Turkish top flight and will view this home game as a genuine opportunity to kickstart their season.
Team News and Injury Latest
Erzurumspor FK have not reported any fresh injury concerns ahead of the clash. Manager Özbalta put his players through a programme of warm-ups, fitness drills, and tactical routines on Thursday, with the full squad expected to be available.

Erzurumspor FK Form Guide
Erzurumspor had to wait until Matchday 3 to collect their first point of the 2026-27 Süper Lig season. Back-to-back defeats against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler and reigning champions Galatasaray left them empty-handed from their opening two outings. The drought ended with a 1-1 draw away at Gençlerbirliği last week, a result that also ended Gençlerbirliği’s perfect start to the campaign. That performance, secured at the Eryaman Stadium, handed Özbalta’s side a much-needed foothold in the division, but the search for a first win now shifts to home soil.
Konyaspor Season So Far
Konyaspor travel east looking to build on what has been a steady, if unspectacular, opening to their Süper Lig campaign. While the visitors have not yet set the league alight, their early-season form leaves them within touching distance of the top half. A positive result in Erzurum would maintain their upward trajectory before the schedule intensifies.
