What happened in Turkish football today? 23.04.2016


Galatasaray chances to get league title are almost null.

With the loss against Osmanlispor at the Super League, Galatasaray chances of getting league title at the end of the season are almost to none as it has lost game with 3:2 scoreline. One of the most surprising factors is that Galatasaray did not even try to fight for a win after scoreline has turned into 3:2.

Galatasaray as overall did not actually fight in the way it should be taking account that it was aiming to get to the league title race as it had hard task of winning the games back-to-back until end of the season. Even through this task was very difficult one it was playing against Osmanlispor, it would be expected for Galatasaray to win the game but there were moments especially towards the end of the game where club showed that it did not want to achieve that aim.  Osmanlispor by finding 3 goals at the game has showed that it was mainly focussed into the win with using advantage of weather conditions at the game and using mistakes which which were created by Galatasaray. Osmanlispor as a team had played more active productive football today.

In case if Fenerbahce wins the game tomorrow point difference with Galatasaray will be 13 points and Besiktas win would make it 11 points with game in hand. With only 16 games to be played this point difference should be very hard to fix and it could be smart enough to say that Galatasaray has thrown white flag regardless how much it think it did not. Now main focus of the team would be in Europa League and Turkish Cup, as chances to get title in Super League is almost to null.

Meanwhile, Osmanlispor has won its first game after 5 game period and with highly strong and motivated Galatasaray and this win would change lots of things for the team in upcoming weeks.

It is hard to call Besiktas as favourite against Trabzonspor. 

One of the key games of the 19th week of Super League is undoubedly would be between
Trabzonspor and Besiktas, assuming that it will not be postponed due of heavy snow to take place in Trabzon. Both teams will take game in a serious manner as Besiktas will be playing for league title while Trabzonspor tries to return its performance with its new head coach Hami Mandirali.

Due of positions of the standings, following game for Besiktas is more crucial as the loss could led them to lose the leadership if Fenerbahce manages to win early against Rizespor. Taking away postponed game against Mersin IdmanYurdu, Besiktas doesnt had a good football for the 2016 despite the fact that two games were played at the Turkish League. As been mentioned, the morale and focus of the team could be hard to question with Turkish Cup as it has different morale and motivation. However, recieving the poor results at those competitions could affect negatively to the team and could provide slight advantage to Trabzonspor who with new head coach has also got good results at the Turkish Cup in past two games.

Since it is hard to now exact condition of the Besiktas, and only judging it with motivation for leadership and league title race it is hard to state which side is more advantage. Taking away loss against Trabzonspor and with having more games it could be seen that Trabzonspor have some advantages at game tomorrow and surely would fight for the win with also reminder of fact that it has win against them in August.

Fenerbahce is coming out as strong favourite against Rizespor.

Fenerbahce will carry on its winning momentum both at the Super League and Turkish Cup with league game against Rizespor as it has higher chance now to bring point difference with Galatasaray and possibly take away their chances for league title totally after win tomorrow.

Despite of poor game against Tuzlaspor, Fenerbahce is going to the game against Rizespor with high motivation and coming out as big favourite at the game, taking account that it plays at home. Also the last minute goal against Tuzlaspor by Lazar Markovic surely would provide extra motivation to him and quite possibly he would try his best to score tomorrow or create goal positions during the game. With the finding out about result of Galatasaray, its main arch-rivals surely will also provide extra motivation to the team. Fenerbahce as a team improves by each game and is expected to do so in tomorrow game, as the team it has high targets both in domestic and European fronts.

Coming to Rizespor, only way to get anything from game is to play agressive football and believing in itself or otherwise it would have very hard time against Fenerbahce who in latest game controls game especially when it comes to defence area.
