Kayserispor vs Konyaspor – News and Probable Lineups

On Sunday afternoon, Kayserispor will take on Konyaspor in the Super Lig at the RHG Enerturk Enerji Stadyumu, marking the final match of the season.

The home side is aware that their outcome is already determined as they have officially confirmed their relegation, whereas Konyaspor finds itself comfortably placed in mid-table with no risk of relegation nor aspirations for European competition.

Match overview

Last weekend, Kayserispor suffered relegation following a 3-1 loss to Alanyaspor, leaving them at the bottom of the Super Lig standings.

This defeat leaves them four points adrift from safety, and as this is the last game of the season, they will not be able to preserve their place in the top division for the next season.

The supporters will be hoping for a lively display from their team in this match, as they have registered four out of five league victories at home this season.

Kayserispor has recently found success against Konyaspor, remaining unbeaten in the last four Super Lig encounters between the teams.

Konyaspor approaches this match in ninth place, assured that they will remain in this division for at least another season.

A defeat could see them slide to 10th place, but earning a point could potentially elevate them to eighth based on other results in the league.

Konyaspor faced a 3-0 defeat to Fenerbahce in their most recent league match at Medas Konya Buyuksehir Stadyumu, and they will be looking for a stronger performance in this last fixture of the league season.

A win in this match would serve as a morale boost ahead of their Turkish Cup final against Trabzonspor.

If the visitors take all three points, it would mark their first league victory over Kayserispor since December 2023.

Kayserispor will be missing Majid Hosseini and Kayra Cihan due to injury, and Ramazan Civelek is unavailable because of suspension.

Meanwhile, Konyaspor has a considerable number of players unavailable for this match, with injuries keeping Guilherme, Blaz Kramer, Tunahan Tasci, Josip Calusic, and Ufuk Akyol out.
