Konyaspor and Galatasaray lock horns at the Konya Büyükşehir Arena as round 26 of the Turkish Super Lig gets underway on Friday.
While the hosts will be looking to pick up their first league win of the year, Okan Buruk’s men set out to secure a 15th consecutive victory across all competitions.
Konyasopr were denied their first league win in 2023 as they were held to a goalless draw by Giresunspor last time out.
The Anatolian Eagles have now gone nine consecutive league matches without a win, stretching back to a 2-1 victory over Kayserispor on November 13.
Despite their woeful run, Konyaspor are currently eighth in the Super Lig table, having picked up 31 points from 24 matches so far.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, edged closer to the league title as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Kasimpasa last Saturday.
They have now won 15 consecutive matches across all competitions, stretching back to December’s 2-1 friendly loss to Lazio.
With 60 points from 24 matches, Galatasaray are currently first in the Super Lig table with a nine-point cushion over second-placed Fenerbahce.
