Galatasaray vs Konyaspor Prediction and Betting Tips

Galatasaray and Konyaspor bring round six of the Turkish Super Lig to an end when they lock horns at the Rams Park on Monday. Okan Buruk’s men head into the game as the only side with a 100% record in the new league campaign and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Galatasaray were left battered in their UEFA Champions League opener on Thursday when they fell to a humbling 5-1 defeat away to German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.

Their performance at Deutsche Bank Park was a far cry from what has been an outstanding start to the 2025-26 Super Lig, where Buruk’s side have won each of their five games while scoring 15 goals and conceding just once so far.

Galatasaray, who lead the way at the top of the league table, now take on an opposing side who have failed to win their last six encounters, losing five and claiming one draw since a 2-1 victory in March 2023.

On the other hand, Konyaspor were dealt their first defeat of the season last time out when they were beaten 2-1 by Alanyaspor at the Bahcesehir Okullari Stadium.

Before that, Joao Pereira’s men kicked off the campaign with consecutive victories over Eyupspor and Gaziantep before playing out a 1-1 draw against Goztepe on August 29.

Konyaspor have picked up seven points from the first 12 available to sit ninth in the Super Lig standings but could move into fifth place with all three points on Monday.

Galatasaray vs Konyaspor Prediction
