Pereira and Portuguese players knowledge of Braga should use its advantage against them.
Fenerbahce will restart its journey at the Europa League game against Portuguese club Braga at the last 16 1st leg stage tomorrow. Even through Braga was seen as one of the easiest options from the draw, it will not be as simple as it sounds.
Braga didnt lose its last 15 games including winning one of the main teams at Portugal - Porto - with 3:1 scoreline at this weekend which means that among Fenerbahce both teams would play with a big motivation and winning attitude. Both teams will come up with great record recently and would use its strenghts against each other. One of the main advantages for Fenerbahce is that head coach Vitor Pereira and players Luis Nani, Bruno Alves and Meireles are Portuguese and might have some familiarity with its opponents, especially head coach Pereira. While for sure Braga is pretty unaware of most parts of its opponents, apart of named players and Pereira style of coaching. Vitor Pereira needs to make this factor as strong advantage for a game tomorrow.
The game does look equal but factor of Portuguese players and coach at Fenerbahce and also playing at home with strong support of its fans does make Fenerbahce more favourite at least for the 1st leg.
Trabzonspor needs to start winning urgently.
Trabzonspor as the team is going through very difficult period with lacking positive results, having injuries and banned players and being only 7 points away from relegation zone even through it does have 1 game in hand against Besiktas to be played next week.
It is hard to criticise Trabzonspor strongly as the team had went through many events, some been created by themselves and some by behaviour of referees like at the game against Galatasaray, but the team just needs to find solutions to this issue sooner or later or its long term aim to become champions in 2-3 years time will be delayed at least for a year. Trabzonspor should only have one aim at upcoming 11 games, and its too keep themselves at the Super League. Trabzonspor could in fact aim to win against Besiktas or at least provide positive performance to raise its motivation very highly which it needs to do very soon.
Trabzonspor needs motivation boost and this will come with point/s in upcoming games, but later its start getting them the more stressful ending of the season it will have.
Hakan Kutlu needs to raise self-belief of Kayserispor players.
Kayserispor has appointed Hakan Kutlu as club head coach who would try his best to solve all of the issues at the club. According to Kutlu, condition of the players is pretty good but there is lack of motivation at the team.
When the team is at the bottom of the league are recieving negative results than its natural for players to be in bad mood. It is job of technical staff to raise mood and once again bring fighting spirit to the team. Hakan Kutlu has difficult job at achieving that, and when he does, he might improve performance of a team but in same time as Trabzonspor it needs to be done as soon as possible as we getting into 10 last weeks at the league. Hakan Kutlu as coach, regarding of his quality, would always be fighting for best at the middle of the league but those coaches are used to stressful situations and he could raise needed attitude of his players.
Kayserispor just doesnt need to give up and believe itself and maybe it would be able to keep itself at the top league.
