Konyaspor face a trip to Kasımpaşa in matchday six of the Süper Lig. The team, fresh from a 1-0 home win over Trabzonspor, will aim to build momentum but must do so without the injured Mücahit İbrahimoğlu.
Sitting 16th in the table with just three points from five matches, Konyaspor are in need of points on the road. Their recent form reads one win and four losses from the last five league outings, making this fixture a key opportunity to stop the slide.
INJURY CONCERN
Midfielder Mücahit İbrahimoğlu is ruled out with a muscle injury and is not expected back until 30 September. His absence will force a reshuffle in the midfield department for the manager.
The starting lineup from the Trabzonspor victory featured Bahadır Han Güngördü in goal behind a back four of Uğurcan Yazğılı, Rayyan Baniya, Adil Demirbağ and Arthur Masuaku. Marko Jevtović and Melih İbrahimoğlu anchored the midfield, with Deniz Türüç, Rajmund Tóth and Diogo Gonçalves supporting striker Jackson Muleka in a 4-2-3-1 shape. This eleven could serve as the blueprint for the trip to Istanbul.
Konyaspor's next league assignment is a home match against seventh-placed Gaziantep FK on 5 December.
