An analysis of Konyaspor's expected goals (xG) performance in the 2026/2027 Süper Lig season was reported this week by www.google.com. The data reveals which attackers are converting their chances most effectively.
The team currently sits 17th in the league, with 0 points from 2 games (0 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses). Konyaspor has lost its last two matches and has a -3 goal difference, having scored 2 and conceded 5. They trail league leaders Gençlerbirliği S.K. by 6 points. This difficult start underscores the importance of attacking efficiency.
Which players are outperforming their xG?
The numbers show Deniz Türüç and Ebrima Colley have been the team's most efficient forwards. Playmaker Deniz Türüç scored 1 goal from an xG of 10.9, indicating he is finishing his chances at a reasonable rate. The season's current top scorer, Ebrima Colley, posted an even more impressive performance. Colley scored 1 goal from an xG of 20.6, outperforming his expected output. These two players are responsible for both of the team's goals so far.
Other forwards and midfielders have struggled to convert opportunities. Blaz Kramer has failed to score despite an xG of 30.6. Emir Bars (40.2 xG), Adil Demirbag (50.1 xG), and Diogo Gonçalves (60.1 xG) are in a similar situation. Their collective xG totals suggest the team is creating chances in the final third but not finishing them consistently.
Who else is yet to find the net?
A number of key players in the squad have registered zero goals from their expected goals in the first two weeks. Enis Destan (70.1 xG), Jackson Muleka (80.1 xG), and Rajmund Tóth (90.1 xG) are among those yet to score. Defenders and deeper midfielders naturally have lower xG figures. Chidozie Awaziem, Enis Bardhi, Marko Jevtovic, Ugurcan Yazgili, and Yhoan Andzouana all have xG values between 100.0 and 140.0 and zero goals. This indicates the primary goalscoring burden falls on the forward line and attacking midfielders.
How do these stats relate to the team's league position?
Konyaspor's tally of 2 goals in two matches partially aligns with the xG data. However, conceding 5 goals is a clear sign of issues in defence and team balance. Simply improving attacking efficiency may not be enough for a rapid climb up the standings. The team needs to tighten its defensive organisation while converting a higher percentage of the chances created. More detailed team and player metrics can be followed on our stats page.
What needs to happen next?
The technical staff will likely review the form and decision-making of players with high xG but no goals. The team's next fixture is an away match against 14th-placed Göztepe on 13 December 2026. This game presents a crucial opportunity to climb the table and for the forwards to regain confidence. The analysis shows Konyaspor is capable of creating quality chances on the pitch but has yet to find the consistent finishing touch and defensive discipline required for better results.
