Umraniyespor vs Konyaspor
Turkish Super Lig
Date: 2 April 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 11:30 UK / 12:30 CET
Venue: Umraniye Hekimbasi Sehir Stadyumu (Istanbul).
Umraniyespor will continue their relegation battle on Sunday morning when they host Konyaspor in the 27th round of Super Lig.
The hosts are flying high after a run of two wins and two draws in the previous four league outings.
They are still at the bottom of the standings but now only three points shy of the safe zone positions.
Umraniyespor shared spoils with direct relegation rivals Kasimpasa in a 1-1 stalemate on the road in the previous round played two weeks ago.
They got lucky to have avoided a defeat there as their counterparts were the better team on the pitch throughout most of the affair.
Umraniyespor will face a tough challenge this weekend as they are up against a top-half Konya who will enter the tie in the highest of spirits after a 2-1 comeback win over sovereign leaders Galatasaray.
Bruno Paz offered a fantastic second-half display, registering two assists in Konya’s huge victory on the occasion.
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Konyaspor are winless in four successive away outings in all competitions. The run includes a painful 4-0 defeat at the hands of Fenerbahce.
The team led by Serbian manager Aleksandar Stranojevic occupy the 8th place in the league table at the moment. They are far away from either European positions or relegation scrap.
This match has a much bigger importance for the hosts who are looking to prolong their four-game unbeaten thread here. Motivation will play a big role on Sunday and we see merit in backing Umraniyespor to win at the 2.90 odds.
The value is also great with the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 2.05 odds knowing that neither team have been thriving in the final third recently.
