What happened in Turkish football today? 29.04.2016


Galatasaray has made it chances for Europa League qualification through league route much slimmer. 

With Galatasaray performing better at the last few games it was expected that it could provide good performance at the game against Bursaspor during 31st week Super League game and despite of showing signs of attacking football the game had ended with 1:1 scoreline. This score was not one which Galatasaray was seeking for at all.

Bursaspor to some extend had provided much more active football with more dangerous attacks which it could not have converted. However, Galatasaray did try to give some effort to the game which was observed compare to previous games and tried to win game which could lead chances to get Europa League spot from league route but today's draw did make them chances more slim. In fact, the draw for Galatasaray has come at the 50th minute by Olcan Adin which did provide chances to bring win for rest of 2nd half and despite of attacking football at the last 20 minutes wasnt enough to find winning goal. Right now, Galatasaray would focus into Turkish Cup semi-final 2nd leg game and would likely to provide attacking football regarding of winning 1st leg with 4:1 scoreline.

Afterwards, it would play game against Besiktas which result can have direct impact to the league title and even through this game would be great chance to get apology from its fans this season, the strong favourite will be Besiktas with its performance and motivation.

Bursaspor meanwhile has also lost chances to qualify to the Europa League and right now it will play last 3 games at the league for formality. Surely, it would also allow them to check its current players for next season.

Besiktas cant afford to lose games including against Kayserispor

Despite of being leaders Besiktas needs to win all its games including against Kayserispor.
Besiktas would play very important game against Kayserispor during Super League 31st week as Besiktas needs to win all its games if it wants to get league title. The following game however would be tough one as Kayserispor will also aim for win to secure its stay at the Super League for next season.

Kayserispor meanwhile has also performed great performance lately with its head coach Hakan Kutlu and might provide big fight even through it wont be easy for them at the Vodafone Arena. Besiktas would surely try to use its fans factor and field in maximum manner as it cant afford to make any mistakes in last 4 games and would surely not to repeat its performance which it had against Akhisar Belediyespor last week. This week according to fixture will not be deciding one as been stated earlier but poor results from game today could cost them league title as with same points Fenerbahce gets to advantegous position. Besiktas which does show sign of worry by players at last games needs to provide its best performance tomorrow.

Kayserispor will try its best to  get at least draw tomorrow and hence lots of work would also be given towards Besiktas defence and so would be to attacks. Besiktas is favourite but its not easy for them as it looks from first view.

Eskisehirspor needs a win against Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor whose last 4 games has turned into formality would play against team which is trying to get out from relegation zone during Super League 31st week game. For Eskisehirspor is surely is more crucial game and the team woud do its best to get best result it can.
Its been stated several times at this blog that Trabzonspor has recieved great results from teams at relegation area despite of its poor performance overall. However, Eskisehirspor is now playing very important game tomorrow while Trabzonspor is aimless and this factor does make Eskisehirspor to be slightly favourite. It would be expecting for Eskisehirspor to provide more risking and attacking football and being aware of issues of Trabzonspor it is unluckily it would be scared of them.

Trabzonspor as it is known is going through period of revision where it had taken away from squad with 6 players and hence sending strong message to the other players. This factor could provide motivation to rest players as it could be last chance for them to prove them to club since bad performance against Eskisehirspor, could cost them place for next season.

It is hard to call favourite at this game, but situation of teams show that Eskisehirspor is more favourite as it does need points urgently right now. This factor could dominate game from start to end.
