The upcoming clash at Torku Arena between Konyaspor and Galatasaray on the final matchday of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig season promises a gripping encounter.

With both teams having significant stakes, the hosts are locked in a battle against relegation, while the visitors are within reach of clinching the championship.

Konyaspor's hopes for securing their spot in the top division for the next season took a blow after a frustrating 2-2 draw against ten-man Kayserispor in their recent match.

Despite the disadvantage of Kayserispor's Duckens Nazon being sent off, they managed to seize the lead with a Carlos Mane penalty. However, Konyaspor rallied in the second half, netting goals through Soner Dikmen and Steven N'Zonzi. Nevertheless, Mane's second successful penalty ensured a shared result.

Currently occupying the 15th position in the standings with 41 points from 37 matches, Konyaspor finds themselves on equal footing with Gaziantep, who sit in 14th place. Their situation is precarious, with only a three-point cushion above the relegation zone. Yet, they still have a chance to evade relegation if they secure a victory on Sunday. This would necessitate both Hatayspor and Ankaragucu losing their matches, and Gaziantep failing to secure a win.

After Fahrudin Omerovic was fired as manager, sporting director Ali Camdalli assumed leadership. With a vital victory over Galatasaray, the 40-year-old will be looking to prolong Konyaspor's tenure in the top division. He has managed to gather five points from his first three games in charge.

With two victories in their last four encounters, the Anatolian Eagles have a strong recent record versus Galatasaray. Interestingly, Konyaspor has defeated the Lions five times at home, and they should have the resounding support of their fans on Sunday.

Galatasaray had set their sights on clinching the title and making Turkish football history by becoming the first team to reach 100 points in a season when they faced off against arch-rivals Fenerbahce in their previous match. However, their aspirations were dashed when they suffered a 1-0 loss at home in a tense game that saw 11 yellow cards and one red card issued.

Despite both teams making 11 attempts on goal, only one shot found the back of the net throughout the match – Caglar Soyuncu's goal, which proved to be decisive as Fener successfully prolonged the title race to the final day.

Okan Buruk's squad still has the chance to achieve their remarkable double of retaining the Super Lig title and reaching the 100-point milestone with a favorable outcome against Konyaspor. However, a defeat would hand the title to Fenerbahce, making it perhaps the most gripping title race in Super Lig history.

To realize their objectives, Galatasaray must break free from a three-game losing streak when playing away against Konyaspor. Their last triumph at Torku Arena dates back to 2020.

After failing to produce a single shot on target against Fener, the Lions must rediscover their attacking prowess to emerge triumphant in this high-stakes clash.

Metehan Mert and Yasir Subasi will not be available for Konyaspor because of groin and thigh ailments, respectively.

With 11 goals this season, Sokol Cikalleshi is predicted to start as striker once again, with Ogulcan Ulgun providing backup behind him.

Galatasaray's team is totally fit for Sunday's match; no suspensions or injuries have been recorded.

With 23 goals to his name, Mauro Icardi leads the Golden Boot race by three goals over the next competitor. When he leads the line on Sunday, he will be looking to add more goals.
