What happened in Turkish football today? 27.04.2016


Besiktas and Fenerbahce have equal chances for league title in 4 weeks time.

With only 4 games left at the Super League in this season, there is big title race going on with Besiktas only having one win advantage at its disposal, but with the fact that it has hard fixture compare to Fenerbahce makes chances almost equal.

One thing is certain, is that Besiktas has control of its leadership and it can lose title with its own mistakes. However, taking account that it will play against Kayserispor which are at drop zone, Galatasaray fighting for Europa League spot and so as Osmanlispor and Konyaspor does make their games especially hard. Fenerbahce has a bit easier fixture with only team which can raise issues is Basaksehirspor game at 32nd week. In fact, same week Besiktas will play against Galatasaray and results of those both games at next weekend can decide who would win title since team which would be in leader would have focus and motivation at last two games left at the season after that.

Looking at the fixture it could be said that Fenerbahce is looking favourite to get 4 out of 4 so Besiktas cant afford any mistakes at this 4 game period.

Besiktas cant afford any mistakes at this 4 game period.

Fenerbahce player Caner Erkin is likely to be forgiven by his side after incident with Vitor Pereira.
Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira relationship with its player Caner Erkin after harsh comments made by player towards him prior to Super League game against Galatasaray on 13th April seems to be calmed down.

In fact, Pereira is expected to forgive the player and try to encourage for administrators to do same and also being aware that he needs Caner Erkin for last 4 important games at the league. Pereira is likely to be expecting personal apology from Caner to him and to the teammates, but when Caner apologizes it would be expected both by Pereira and other players to forgive him straight away. If this takes place, Erkin would also very likely have meetings with Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim regarding of the extension of the contract with the team. Caner Erkin in last few seasons has been among key players at the team and keeping him for next season would be big advantage for the side.

Caner Erkin surely wants at least to finish league at the team which would affect to his selection to Turkish National Team for Euro 2016 and hence he would likely provide right moves in upcoming days for him to play at the last games of the season.

Gaziantepspor ends contract with its head coach Mutlu Topcu.

Gaziantepspor has ended contract with its head coach Mutlu Topcu after dissapointing results lately by a team. Gaziantepspor is currently 6 points ahead of drop zone but the team has shown week performance in last 8 weeks.

Since winter break Gaziantepspor has dropped from 10th place to 16th at the league and has only gained 9 points with 2 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses and this statistics surely didnt make administrators happy. It could be argued that team could wait until end of the season but by being only 6 points from drop zone and only gaining 2 points from last 8 games would raise big uncertainty for the future. Its too much risk for a team certainly.

Gaziantepspor doesnt look it would drop up during this last 4 weeks period but surely it would aim to end season at high note with firing head coach Topcu from his post.
