 Galatasaray would seek for confident and early win against Eyupspor.

 

Galatasaray are going to resume Super League after national team break against home game against Eyupspor where it would be aiming to carry on both showing confident performance and carry on its winning run.

 

It also needs to be mentioned that due of Victor Osimhen being currently injured, Baris Alper Yilmaz which had some issues regarding transfer with team would be starting game with whole team and could be expected to show some strong and attacking game. Due of also an away game against Eintracht Frankfurt at Champions League there would be expectations for side to find chances back-to-back and hence to kill game at early moments. Eyupspor on their part didn’t have a good start of the season but due of some good results agains title winners could be coming out with some strong confidence.

 

Galatasaray are being favourites without doubt but Eyupspor could provide some problems to the team at least until it conceeds.

 

Both Besiktas and Basaksehirspor seeing this game as chance to turn around season.

 

Besiktas and Basaksehirspor which does have unstable season so far and did change its head coaches due of that during international team break would be playing against each other with having good new beginning.

 

When looking at quality of team and to some extend to which team game would be more important it could be expected for Besiktas to come out as favourite and also provide some strong and aggrssive game with providing some pressure to Basaksehirspor for most amount of game. Besiktas would also be expected to show more positive game with its head coach Sergen Yalcin with more forward seeking. Basaksehirspor would be aiming to show stronger game compare ot previous ones and might be seen more organised.

 

Besiktas still are favourites and would be able to turn game pressure into positive for 90 minutes for sure.

 

Besiktas loans Jota Silva

 

Besiktas has ended 2025 summer transfer window with an important signing of Nothingham Forest player Jota Silva who would have significant positive impact at attacking midfielding.

 

Besiktas did look for an attacking player during this summer transfer window and it could be mentioned that it did get an important one as Silva tend to be player with forward seeking as he is being loan with transfer option and has all good reasons to show an effective game, Only issue for Besiktas could be that it might him some time to get adapted to new league.

 

Hence, Besiktas did sign an important player who would be expected to show effective attacking game at the field.

Besiktas signs Gokhan Sazdagi for 2+1 years.

 

 

 

Besiktas has signed Kayserispor player Gokhan Sazdagi for 2+1 years as it has been good signing for team as it did get well-experienced player at the Super League despite of playing for first time at big 4 side.

 

 

 

During past 5 years Gokhan Sazdagi has managed to become one of the first names which pop up when mentioning Kayserispor as he did show some confident and strong performance with being one of the names which did help side to get some of the achievements. With such experience and also Sergen Yalcin specifically wanted to see player has been without doubt one of the main reasons for signing player. Only question which could be asked is if Sazdagi will be able to show strong performance at the big 4 as it is being actual risky situation for those teams.

 

 

 

Saying that Gokhan Sazdagi has great potential to have good period at Besiktas as long as he would stay focus at the team task.

 

 

 

Fatih Karagumruk signs Sam Larsson for 1-year.

 

 

 

Fatih Karagumruk without doubt has made an important transfer of Sam Larsson who did show some strong and key performances at last  3 seasons and could help team to get an important role to help to team at least to stay at the league.

 

 

 

Without doubt, Sam Larsson has been one of the leading players at Antalyaspor and did show to be in calibre at mediocre Super League side and hence would be expected to take actually key role at Fatih Karagumruk with bringing attacking game of the team into next level due of his attacking type of the game. He would be expected also to take leading role at the team and he would be able to do so in great manner and as been mentioned push team forward with his performance.

 

 

 

This has been an important transfer for Karagumruk and could lead to some good performance in rest of the season.

 

 

 

Kocaelispor terminates contract with Cihat Cihan Yusuf

 

 

 

Kocaelispor which has been actively mentioned during this summer transfer window has terminated contract with its player Cihat Cihan Yusuf as player moves to Sivasspor.

 

 

 

As been mentioned several times at our blog this summer, Kocaelispor has went through high number and important changes and hence it would need to also reduce its current squad and one of those players has ended being Yusuf with who team didn’t consider to give lots of playing time in lots of season and we saw that he has moved to Sivasspor who has been dropped to 1st league.

 

 

 

 

Kocaelispor might be going through some changes in upcoming 2 days until end of summer transfer window and we would follow all developments.

Trabzonspor has lost its first points of season at Black Sea derby.

 

Samsunspor player Marius goal at the 90^th minute has finished Trabzonspor 100% record as it has lost its first 2 points of the season at the Black Sea which did fulfill its all expectations which were given to game.

 

It needs to be mentioned that  Trabzonspor compare to 3 weeks games did actually provide more effective game as Samsunspor would been first team to actual test side capacity to fight for title, and as  game has went through it could be stated that Trabzonspor did become tired and went too much defensive towards end of the game which has led them to lose 2 points but when looking overall it could be mentioned that Trabzonspor did show some positive game with looking for number of the chances with Onuachu getting an important header and to some extend that loss of points did come after he was substituted. Taking account that Samsunspor is being at good form and being dangerous side it could be understood why team went defensive towards end but it could be more productive at attacks.

 

Samsunspor did show in the start of the season did show that it is being team which didn’t lose much from previous season at least and coould be showing some good performance in whole season as it did get that 1 point due of fighting spirit.

 

Despite of losing Trabzonspor losing its first points, it did actually improve compare to previous 3 weeks but it would need to work on to keep focus and providing strong and condident performance an area which is likely would focus in national team break.

 

Besiktas shows similar performance on field despite of change of coach.

 

Besiktas did come to some extend with new blood as it has appointed Sergen Yalcin in place of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the team has carried on showing similar ineffective performance once again especially during 1^st half.

 

Besiktas did have some serious issues with getting into game as in similar manner as before Besiktas did show ineffective controllable game and has been slowly at the team which also let them for opponnent to get penalty. Following unsuccessful poor performance during 1^st half, it actually did provide more effective performance in 2^nd half with providing preessure to Alanyaspor goal with getting back-to-back chances but it couldn’t convert and with opponent successful counterattacks has managed to win game with 2:0 scoreline. Besiktas hence carries on having issues with creative aspect at the opponent goal and also converting its important chances which would be main issue for Sergen Yalcin during national team break.

 

Alanyaspor which did win its first league season, has managed to do with provoding patient game with aiming to show organised defensive game and also seeking for chances with counter-attacks and doing that it didi get without doubt an important for them.

 

Besiktas might be changing coach but it does look like performance-wise team continues to have similar issues and hence Sergen Yalcin would mainly focus to find solution to this in national team break.

 

Fenerbahce has showed great bounce back following sacking of Mourinho

 

Fenerbahce has got confident win against Genclerbirligi at away game with 3:1 scoreline at the 1^st game after Jose Mourinho has been sacked as opponent didn’t provide much resistance to Istanbul giants especially during 1^st half.

 

It has been among one of the most anticipated games following Jose Mourinho leaving team and after side has been relegated from Champions League after losing to Benfica at play-off round. It needs to be mentioned that with Zeki Murat Gole taking caretaking role at the position, Fenerbahce did come out with some drastic changes at 1^st half with introducing also new players including Nene who did show some positive performance especially during 1^st half where he provided strong pressure to opponent goal with creating some chances and also some good passes. Fenerbahce hence did get ahead with 3:0 scoreline without much issues and did reduce tempo in 2^nd half during which it has conceded also goal. Stating that, it is hard specifically to state that Fenerbahce has shown specifically strong performance as Genclerbirligi didn’t provide much pressure and has made lots of simple mistakes at defence.

 

As been noted, Genclerbirligi has been pretty passive performance without being too much into game making lots of simple mistakes at defence during 1^st half and does provide some worrying view as it yet to get point during this season.

 

Fenerbahce hence has regained confidence following being relegated from Champions League and also provided some good performance after Jose Mourinho being sacked from his position and does show that it could have reflex strongly after such period and also would enter to national team break with strong confidence.

Galatasaray carries on 100% record even through Rizespor did provide some pressure to team.

 

Galatasaray carries on its 100% record at the Super League after it has beaten Rizespor with 3:1 scoreline even through it could be mentioned that compare to games until now it has been most struggling game for them.

 

It needs to be stated that Galatasaray has started game at good form with getting tempo which it needed and has provided strong pressure towards Rizespor goal with looking for opportunities which led them to find relatively an early goal with Davison Sanchez on 40^th minute which afterwards has led some relaxation from team as Rizespor did create chances back-to-back and did find 2 goals with both correctly being disallowed due of offside but Galatasaray did find another goal on 2^nd half but did make some tasks harder after game has went 2:0 and Rizespor regaining some confidence and did get some good chances but Mauro Icardi on last minute game has killed game. Galatasaray it needs to be mentioned did had some drop from performance compare to 3 games but even taken this account it has shown strong control of the game and in all honesty did look like it would win game without  much issues.

 

Rizespor which didn’t have very good start of the season needs to be praised with an effort which it gave to title holders with providing some issues and despite of result this game could have positive impact to upcoming weeks.

 

Galatasaray hence would be entering to national team break with 4 out of 4 and strong confidence and motivation with making clear to all followers in Turkish football that is being main title contenders.

 

Black Sea derby would be between 2 sides which are at great form.

 

Without doubt, one of the most exciting and anticipated games of 4^th week would be against two in form sides Trabzonspor and Samsunspor as both sides had a great start at the game which would be also Black Sea derby game.

 

It needs to be mentioned that even through Trabzonspor might not be showing a great performance , until 3^rd week it has been among Galatasaray side which had 100% record which means that it has gained confidence and motivational boost prior to this game while Samsunspor among showing good performance at only 1 game at the league so far has also showed strong and confident performance at the Europa League against Olympiakos. It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor meanwhile would play its first game against tough opponent at the league and hence it would be possibly its 1^st test to show if it is capable to fight for title in this season. It would be expected to be tactical game with both sides showing strong organising game and could be with some good tension.

 

Game would be expected to be played as derby as both sides would be able to show if there are in condition to fight for higher spots at this season.

 

Besiktas would open new chapter with game against Alanyaspor…

 

 

Besiktas would come at the Super League game against Alanyaspor with its new coach Sergen Yalcin as he would be opening another chapter afrer team has sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after poor performance of the team during Conference League qualifiers. With Sergen Yalcin would not be having lots of time to tactically prepare, team would be coming out purely at emotionally but new appointed coaches had tend to have positive impact to the teams and it would be expected to be case at the following game and hence Besiktas would be seen as favourites as it would be showing some good performance. Without doubt, poor start of the season for Alanyaspor would make task easier for Besiktas as it would be expected mainly to show defensive game with looking chances with counter-attacks.

 

Besiktas hence would be favourite and it would be interesting to see how Yalcin would impact to the team in such crucial game.

Fenerbahce has got an important win with confident performance against Kocaelispor.

 

Fenerbahce has got its first win during this season at home ground with 3:1  scoreline with providing some positive performance as team has been focussed towards game and did look for chances especially during 2^nd half.

 

Even through there is big difference at quality factor between sides, Fenerbahce did come out as much stronger team but it does need to be remembered that no game has been won without playing and also opponent did provide some good performance despite of not getting any chances. It need to be stated that Caglar Soyuncu possibly has been one of the main highlights of the game as he did provided his best game since joining team as among finding an opener he generally did show some positive game with looking for chances. It could be mentioned that for rest of the 2^nd half, team did reduce dominant game at the field but eventually it did raise tempo with also supporters providing some attacking gae and has found 2 more goals with also creating some chances and team has shown good confident an attacking game and did get well-deserved win.

 

Kocaelispor it needs to be mentioned did try to provide some response and resistance towards Fenerbahce and has managed to do so in 1^st half but quality factor has been played a role and despite of still not winning game it would be expected to show some good performance and get some results in upcoming weeks.

 

Fenerbahce as been mentioned team did win with providing strong attacking game and did regain confidence boost for Champions League 2^nd leg game against Benfica.

 

Baris Alper Yilmaz could have some impact to Galatasaray performance against Kayserispor.

 

Galatasaray are going to meet with Kayserispor at away game as it would be seeking to carry on its 100% record as it would be also played game as team does hae crises with Baris Alper Yilmaz who has been so far best player of the game.

 

Taking account that Baris Alper Yilmaz so far has been best player and also providing most effort during first 2 weeks, his absence could be felt mainly tactically rather than mentally as team would need to play differently. Stating that, Galatasaray would come out as favourites especially taking account that it would be having in its disposal its star players Victor Osimhen and Mario Icardi who would be as always hungry for goal at the field. Coming to Kayserispor, it would be likely to provide organising defensive game and being aware of its strength and quality factor would be focussed more into defence rather than providing an attacking game.

 

Galatasaray are favourites but absence of Baris Alper Yilmaz would likely had an impact how team would be performing.

 

Trabzonspor would get its 1^st serious test against Antalyaspor

 

Trabzonspor would not only be seeking to get a win against Antalyaspor but most importantly to show strong and organised performance with showing more attacking game as opponent also has made 2 out of 2 so far during this season.

 

Both Trabzonspor and Antalyaspor has shown 100% record after 2 games, but it could be stated that Antalyaspor has been provided much better performance as Trabzonspor in all fairness didn’t get very convincing wins and to some extend has been lucky and has used quality factors. Hence, Trabzonspor would be first time meeting with tream which does show stronger and positive performance and hence this could be good test to see how Trabzonspor level and also would be seeking to show very strong performance on the field. Antalyaspor are aware that Trabzonspor performance wie and hence it would be expected them to see brave, positive and attacking game.

 

Antalyaspor could be believing that it could be showing confident performance and would be seeking to show effective and attacking game without doubt while Trabzonspor would need to show more creating and effective game compare to games in this season so far.

Samsunspor did show good performance despite of loss.

 

Samsunspor has played its first game at European football after 27 years as it has lost with 2:1 scoreline to experience Greek side Panathiniakos but did provide some positive performance and does have some hope for 2^nd leg.

 

Despite  of losing to Panathiniakos, it needs to be mentioned that Samsunspor did show some strong and effective performance at the team especially during 1^st half of the game where it has and also part of 2^nd half as in start of that half it has found a great goal and did went ahead. However, mainly due of experience and also playing an away game has led them to lose concentration and control of the game to which Panathiniakos did get behind and ended game with 2:1 scoreline.

 

Saying that Samsunspor did provide some hope for 2^nd leg both with scoreline and also performance which it has shown and certainly it would give its best and fighting during 2^nd leg without doubt.

 

Besiktas defence has provided poor game against Lausanne.

 

Besiktas has once again had an issues with defensive game this time with Lausanne and hence has made both game and whole tie into difficulty as as it didn’t provide very effective performance on the field.

 

In fact, it has been interesting to see that Besiktas which didn’t provide very good 1^st half perforance did actually get ahead in the end of the half and did improve during 2^nd half but that’s half which led for game to be ended with draw. Defence of the game did make high number of simple mistakes it needs to be mentioned and actually Lausanne did convert many chances which they got and better side would be able to get much more confident result. Besiktas did lose mainly of defensive game and this is being an area for sure which it would need to work for improvement without doubt.

 

Besiktas needs to wrk on improving its defence for sure if it wants to get to Conference League league stage as Lausanne might be more effective at attacks.

 

Basaksehirspor didn’t show as dominat game as did Craioa

 

Basaksehirspor did get certainly unexpected result at home ground as it lost to Romanian leaders Univ Craioa as Istanbul side did lack dominant game and did lack concentration compare to opponents.

 

Basaksehirspor, to all respect to Romanian side,is being much more quality side but Craiova did want to win game and hence has provided much more organising game and did create some number of crucial chances with Galatasaray ex-player Cicaldau being one of the scorers at the game. Basaksehirspor did find goal towards end which could provide some hope for 2^nd leg.

 

Basaksehirspor chances to get to league stage of Conference League but it needs to show much more aggressive game in Romania without doubt.

Besiktas couldn’t respond for organised attacking game of opponent.

 

First official game of the season for Besiktas didn’t go at the manner which it was hoping for as it has lost to Ukrainain side Shakhtar Donetsk with 4:2 scoreline as it didn’t provide strong attacking game and also has made simple defensive mistake.

 

With Besiktas making some transfers during this summer so far has provided some hope for game against Shakhtar Donetsk but side didn’t provide performance which would been expected from them as it didn’t provide confident attacking game but even more worrying Besiktas did concede 4 very simple goals as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did have an issue with getting full control of the game. Therefore, Besiktas did look to be one of the serious issue is defensive part as it provided too simple mistakes while Shakhtar Donetsk has shown strong concentration and organising game. Positive note of the game has been with some good attacking game with Tammy Abraham scoring his 1^st goal which would provide him confidence and also good support given by fans,

 

It needs to be mentioned that Arda Turan who is enjoying his 3^rd game at Ukrainian side did have shown that he has made good and organised game which would develop even more and with this scoreline are being favourites at this tie.

 

Besiktas did provide some worrying performance at defence and shows that it needs to improve on this area both for 2^nd leg game and also for upcoming Super League season.

 

Basaksehirspor got small advantage over Cherno  More at Conference League

 

 Basaksehirspor has got an advantage result during Conference League game against Cherno More with 1:0 scoreline thanks to the Ali Sahiner goal as it has shown strong performance despite of getting minumum scoreline.

 

It needs to be mentioned that Basaksehirspor has been shown strong and dominant performance with creating back-to-back chances but did have some issues with finalising chances as it had lacked final touches and in some moments has been managed to overpass Cherno More opponent. Despite of not getting goals, Basaksehirspor has managed to stayed at the focus of the game and despite of not converting did create some more chances and in overall did control game and get as been noted advantage scoreline for 2nd leg. After getting ahead Basaksehirspor carried on controlling game and did provide without doubt optimistic view for 2nd leg game.

 

Cherno More did come out as underdogs and game has been developing in such manner as it been mainly providing defensive game and still managing to keep scoreline at 1:0 does keep chances alive for 2nd leg game.

 

 Basaksehirspor hence did get a small advantage but it would need to find an early goal on 2nd leg to make this tie in more confident manner for sure.

 

 

Genclerbirligi signs Pedro Pereiro for 2+1 years.
