Konyaspor vs Trabzonspor

Konyaspor host Trabzonspor at the Konya Büyükşehir Stadyumu on September 12, and the fixture already carries plenty of weight. Konyaspor are winless through three rounds and sit bottom of the Süper Lig table, while Trabzonspor occupy 11th place after a stumbling start well below their usual standards. Konyaspor's form has been grim: a 0-1 loss to Çaykur Rizespor, a 2-4 defeat to Fenerbahçe, and most recently a 1-2 loss at Kocaelispor, where Zoukrou put through his own net and Bardhi was sent off. Trabzonspor's own dip continued with a 2-1 away loss at Amedspor, even though marquee summer signing Mohamed Salah put them ahead early, assisted by Muçi. Historically Trabzonspor hold the edge in this rivalry, though the last two meetings between the sides split evenly. With Konyaspor desperate for a breakthrough at home and Trabzonspor needing to steady themselves around their new superstar, expect a tense, cagey affair rather than fireworks. Our prediction: 1-1.
