Kayserispor v Konyaspor: survival fight meets mid-table push | OneFootball

Kayserispor host Konyaspor in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 17 May 2026, in Kayseri, with the home side battling the drop and the visitors aiming to consolidate a top half finish.

The reverse fixture ended 1-1 in December, and Kayserispor come into this round 17th, while Konyaspor sit ninth.

Form points to contrasting momentum. Kayserispor have one win in their last five league games. Konyaspor have three wins from their last five in all competitions, including victories over Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş, either side of defeats to Fenerbahçe.

Team news could shape the contest. Kayserispor are without Majid Hosseini and Emre Çeltik through injury, while Ramazan Civelek is suspended. Top scorer German Onugha (eight league goals) is also injured. Konyaspor travel without suspended midfielder Marko Jevtovic, with Ufuk Akyol and Tunahan Taşçı sidelined.

On season trends, Kayserispor have struggled for goals, scoring 25 and conceding 61, so set pieces and delivery may be a route, backed by seven headed goals and a high crossing volume with 20.07% accuracy. Konyaspor have 42 league goals and a perfect record from five penalties, while Kayserispor have conceded nine spot kicks, so runs into the box and dead ball pressure could pay off for the visitors.

In terms of what's at stake, a Kayserispor win would lift them to 30 points and could move them out of the relegation places. Konyaspor, on 40 points, would reach 43 with a victory and could climb into the top eight, strengthening their top half bid.
