Fatigue is neutral, with both sides having 8 days of rest and 2 matches in the last 14 days.

The mathematical goal expectancy model projects a home λ of 1.10 and an away λ of 1.70, pointing to a total of roughly 2.80 goals. While the market prices Over 2.5 Goals at 1.65 and Both Teams to Score at 1.57, the implied probabilities (60.6% and 63.7% respectively) offer no mathematical edge over the fair market probabilities of 57.1% and 58.9%. The real value lies in the match result. Konyaspor to win is priced at 3.60, implying a 27.8% chance. Given their 60% away win rate, 50% clean sheet rate, and clear quality advantage over a bottom-table side, the statistical probability of an away victory sits comfortably above 50%. This creates a massive positive expected value scenario.
