Amed vs Konyaspor - Süper Lig

All eyes turn to the home ground on October 17, 2026 as Amed welcome Konyaspor in a Süper Lig encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. Chelsea take on Serie A giants Juventus in Hong Kong this morning in the latest fixture on their pre-season tour of Asia.

Amed head into the contest positioned 3rd in the Süper Lig standings, while Konyaspor arrive sitting 16th. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — DWWDW across their last five with a win rate of 57.14% — and they will want to push on from here. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, DDDWL in their last five and a win rate of 32.35% reflecting their unpredictability. The contrast in attacking output — 2.43 versus 1.41 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Amed and Konyaspor have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. Chelsea have been encouraged to consider a surprise move for Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, with former Red Devils midfielder Quinton Fortune believing the Cameroon international could suit their style of football.

When Mohamed Salah is on the pitch — 7 goals to his name this term — moments of magic are never far away, and the Süper Lig's top scorer will be central to how this one unfolds. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Now at Elversberg, the Texas-born forward marked his full Bundesliga debut with a goal in a 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Backed by home advantage and superior form, Amed ought to prevail — a 2-1 victory looks the logical call. With positions in the Süper Lig table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
