Match preview

Beşiktaş, led by Sergen Yalçın, currently occupy fourth place in the Süper Lig with 59 points and are no longer realistic title contenders. That makes the Turkish Cup their primary focus. The Black Eagles head into this clash in decent form, winning three of their last five matches, including a recent league success. Playing at Tüpraş Stadium gives them a significant edge, with the home crowd often providing an extra lift in big knockout games.

From a tactical perspective, Beşiktaş emphasize possession and attacking play down the flanks. Hyeon-gyu Oh has been in strong form and represents their main attacking threat. In midfield, Kristjan Asllani and Orkun Kökçü control the rhythm, combining creativity with dangerous long-range efforts — key tools against a compact Konyaspor defense. Yalçın is expected to opt for an aggressive setup, aiming to secure victory within 90 minutes.

Konyaspor, on the other hand, are enjoying a steady campaign and sit ninth in the league with 40 points. For them, reaching the final would be a major milestone and their best chance to qualify for European competition. İlhan Palut’s side has been resilient, recording three wins and a draw in their last five matches, and they have repeatedly shown they can trouble stronger opponents.

Their approach is built on defensive discipline and quick transitions. Enis Bardhi is key in finding space between the lines, while Marko Jevtović poses a serious threat from set pieces. Away at Beşiktaş, Konyaspor are likely to sit deep, slow the tempo, and look to exploit counterattacking opportunities.
