Konyaspor vs Kocaelispor: Konyaspor draw no bet
Konyaspor and Kocaelispor enter a low‑scoring Süper Lig clash with identical expected goals of 1.35. The model rates a draw‑no‑bet on Konyaspor as the clearest edge.
Both sides have struggled to find the net recently – Konyaspor have lost their last four league matches, and Kocaelispor have recorded four defeats and a single draw in their previous five outings. With neither team firing on all cylinders, the fixture promises to be a tight affair.
Lars's Verdict
The model’s 37.1% win probability plus a 25.8% draw chance gives Konyaspor a 62.9% chance to avoid defeat, making the draw‑no‑bet the most favorable option.
Show the maths
With Konyaspor averaging 1.35 expected goals and Kocaelispor averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Konyaspor 1.35 + Kocaelispor 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Konyaspor at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Kocaelispor at 37.1% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Konyaspor
Konyaspor’s recent form shows four straight defeats: 0‑3 to Fenerbahçe at home, 1‑2 loss at Kayserispor, 0‑1 to Rizespor at home, and a 2‑4 loss at Fenerbahçe away. Scoring only once in two of those matches indicates limited attacking threat, which supports a cautious draw‑no‑bet approach.
Kocaelispor
Kocaelispor have suffered four losses and a draw in their last five games, including a 0‑1 defeat at Gençlerbirliği, a 1‑1 draw at Kasımpaşa, and successive 0‑1 defeats to Fatih Karagümrük, Antalyaspor, and a 0‑2 loss at Başakşehir. Their inability to score in four of those games underlines the low‑scoring nature of the encounter.
Head-to-Head
The head‑to‑head record is split: Konyaspor won 2‑1 in March 2026, while Kocaelispor triumphed 3‑2 in October 2025. The even split mirrors the model’s equal win probabilities and reinforces the expectation of a close match.
