Konyaspor v Trabzonspor: resurgent hosts face Europa-chasing visitors in the Süper Lig | OneFootball

Konyaspor host Trabzonspor in the Süper Lig on Monday, 27 April 2026 in Konya, with the visitors looking to firm up third place and European qualification while the hosts aim to cement a top half finish.

Trabzonspor have had the better of this fixture historically, with 11 wins to Konyaspor's four and eight draws across past meetings. The visitors also arrive higher in the table, sitting third, while the home side are ninth.

Form points both ways. Konyaspor have won four of their last five matches, including a 1-0 cup victory over Fenerbahçe, and drew the other. Trabzonspor are unbeaten in five, winning three and drawing two across league and cup.

Team news shapes selection. Konyaspor are without suspended defender Riechedly Bazoer and suspended midfielder Morten Bjørlo, while Ufuk Akyol and forward Tunahan Taşçı are injured. Trabzonspor travel without injured trio Edin Visca, Okay Yokuslu and Arsenii Batagov.

Routes to goal could hinge on wide supply and aerial power. Trabzonspor have scored 57 league goals with 19 headed efforts and a 26.44% open play cross accuracy, and league top scorer Paul Onuachu leads the line with 22 goals (per the latest rankings). Konyaspor have 38 scored and 41 conceded, but they deliver plenty from wide areas with 443 open play crosses at 20.32% accuracy, which could test the visitors' back line.

Trabzonspor, third and in the Europa League qualification band, could tighten their grip on the podium with a win. Konyaspor, ninth, may consolidate their top half position and keep upward momentum with a positive result.
