Match preview

Adana Demirspor have made a brilliant start to proceedings in the 2022-23 campaign, sitting first in the Super Lig with 10 matches played under Vincenzo Montella.

The league leaders have been ruthless in front of goal scoring 21 times, giving them the second most effective attacking record in the division behind Fenerbache.

In all competitions, Adana Demirspor are unbeaten in their last eight fixtures, keeping four clean sheets along the way, which has illustrated a defensive solidity previously lacking in their 2021-22 Super Lig campaign.

In their most recent outing, they progressed to the fourth round of the Turkish Cup with a 5-0 win at home against Adiyaman 1954 Spor courtesy of a hat-trick from Erhun Oztumer and strikes from Yusuf Sari and Gokhan Tore.

Manager Montella will be eyeing another strong performance this weekend as Adana Demirspor look to claim another three points in the league.

On the other hand, Konyaspor travel to Adana having also made a strong start to the 2022-23 campaign in their own right with Ilhan Palut at the helm.

They find themselves fifth in the Super Lig table after 10 matches played, amassing 18 points in total, and could go level on points with Adana Demirspor with a win on Sunday.

Konyaspor have been in excellent form defensively, conceding four goals in the league. This has given Konyaspor the second most sturdy rearguard in the division behind Istanbul Basaksehir, who have let in just three.

Striker Muhammet Demir has been critical to their success, netting nearly half of their 10 goals in total this season with four efforts to his name.
