Kayserispor were relegated last weekend following their 3-1 defeat to Alanyaspor, as they sit rock bottom of the Super Lig.

This loss sees them four points off safety, with this being the final game of the season, so they cannot maintain their top flight status for the next campaign.

Fans of the hosts will be expecting a spirited performance for this fixture, as of their five victories this campaign in the league, they have won four of these at home.

Konyaspor enter this match sat comfortably in the division in ninth, safe in the knowledge they will be playing at this level for at least the next campaign.

A loss could see them drop to 10th, while if they secure at least a point, they could climb to eighth depending on other results in the league.

Konyaspor slumped 3-0 against Fenerbahce at Medas Konya Buyuksehir Stadyumu in their last league match, so they will be hoping for a better result in their final game of the league season.

Victory in this fixture would be a confidence booster ahead of their Turkish Cup final against Trabzonspor.

A win for the visitors would be their first against Kayseri in the league since December 2023.
