Besiktas and Konyaspor return to action in the Turkish Super Lig when they square off at Tupras Stadium on Sunday. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men have won their last three games against the visitors and will head into the weekend looking to extend this impressive streak.
Besiktas were left red-faced in their last outing before the international break as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Gaziantep after conceding a 95th-minute equalizer at the Gaziantep Stadium.
Despite that somewhat disappointing result, Van Bronckhorst’s side remain one of three unbeaten teams in the new Super Lig campaign, picking up five wins and two draws from their seven matches.
With 17 points from the first 21 available, Besiktas are currently third in the league standings, five points adrift of rivals Galatasaray at the top of the table.
Elsewhere, Konyaspor returned to winning ways just before the international break as they picked up a 2-1 victory over Eyüpspor at the Torku Arena.
This followed a narrow 3-2 loss against Trabzonspor at Papara Park on September 29 which saw their three-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end.
Ali Camdali’s men have won three of their eight Super Lig games so far while losing three and claiming two draws to collect 11 points and sit eighth in the standings.
Besiktas vs Konyaspor Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With 18 wins from the last 41 meetings between the sides, Besiktas boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.
- Konyaspor have picked up 13 wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 10 occasions.

Besiktas vs Konyaspor Prediction
While Konyaspor will look to continue from where they left off before the international break, they have their work cut out against a rock-solid Besiktas side who are unbeaten in the league this season.
Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two teams, we are backing Van Bronckhorst’s men to come away with all three points in front of their home supporters.
