Konyaspor did not start the new year on a high, suffering their first league defeat against Alanyaspor, losing 2-1 away from home. However, the team did manage to redeem themselves in the Turkish Cup, securing a narrow 1-0 away win against second-tier Corum FK on Thursday. 

Coming into this clash, the Anatolian Eagles have been in poor form in the league and will need to halt a three-match winless run (D2, L1). It's also worth mentioning that they've won just one of their last six matches, including three draws and two losses.

Formation: 4-1-4-1

On the other hand, Fenerbahce also tasted success in the Turkish Cup, beating counterparts Kasimpasa 3-0 away from home. The game was already decided in the first half thanks to goals from Youssef En-Nesyri, Yusuf Akçiçek, and Bartuğ Elmaz.

Unlike their opponents in this impending encounter, the Yellow Canaries started the new year on a positive note, cruising to a 2-1 home league victory against relegation-threatened Hatayspor. This result was consolation for their disappointing 1-1 away draw to Eyupspor beforehand. 

Formation: 3-4-1-2

• Konyaspor is currently on a two-match winless run when playing at home in the league.
• Fenerbahce has lost one of their last nine away league matches.
• Konyaspor is winless in their last three fixtures against Fenerbahce.
• Five of the last seven meetings between Konyaspor and Fenerbahce have ended with over 2.5 goals.

In the last 39 meetings, Konyaspor has won 9 times, Fenerbahce has won 26 times, and there have been 4 draws, with the goals difference being 92-41 in favor of Fenerbahce. 

Fenerbahce can't afford to drop any more points if they are to keep their title hopes alive. Despite being favorites in this matchup, I expect them to be cautious with their approach, especially considering they have failed to win their last three away matches in this fixture (D1, L2).

But the question is, will a floundering Konyaspor be able to snatch three points? Well, the answer to that will depend on their performance on this particular day. For now, I just have to side with the visitors, whom I believe will dominate from start to finish, which is why I'm backing them up in the full-time market combined with over 1.5 goals.
