Konyaspor v Göztepe: European push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Konyaspor host Göztepe in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 8 February 2026 in Konya, with the visitors defending a top-four place and the hosts looking to put daylight between themselves and the relegation battle.

The reverse fixture in August finished 1-1. Göztepe arrive in fourth, while Konyaspor sit 14th after 20 games, framing a meeting of contrasting seasons.

Form points to momentum with the visitors. Göztepe are unbeaten in four league matches, winning three of those. Konyaspor have drawn two of their last three league outings before losing at Beşiktaş, though they did enjoy emphatic cup wins either side of that run.

Team news could shape the balance. Konyaspor are without suspended forward Deniz Turuc, trimming Ilhan Palut's attacking options. Göztepe list midfielder Alexis Antunes as injured, a blow to Stanimir Stoilov's rotation in the middle.

Styles contrast sharply. Konyaspor have averaged 53% possession with 82.26% passing accuracy and no league goals from set pieces, so open-play creation and service from Yhoan Andzouana and Alassane Ndao (three league assists each) may be key. Göztepe's defence has been outstanding, conceding just 12 goals with 11 clean sheets, backed by 600 clearances and 74 blocks. With only 37% average possession, the visitors could sit compact and strike through Juan, who has six league goals, while Amin Cherni (four assists) and Janderson (seven combined goals and assists) provide supply and thrust.

A home win would lift Konyaspor to 22 points and could pull them further clear of the bottom three. Victory for Göztepe would move them to 42 points, level with third-placed Trabzonspor, and strengthen their grip on European qualification. A draw would keep both trajectories broadly unchanged, though it would still nudge the visitors' top-four bid along.
