Besiktas main advantage at the derby is that it will be playing at home.
First derby game at this season of the Super League between Besiktas and Galatasaray is promising to be very intense game with both teams coming to the game with great form. Besiktas does have slight advantage at playing at the home but with Galatasaray fans allowed to come this advantage becomes less more important.
Both teams are coming to the game with same form while obtaining 10 points from first 4 weeks and providing pretty impressive performance even through still not best football at their capacity for both of them. Besiktas does have also advantage competing at the Champions League which could be seen as extra games but it does provide extra motivation especially when things goes well at the European prestigious tournament. Taking account that it has drawn with its biggest opponent at the group stage, Benfica, with 1:1 scoreline and also taking account that it will be its 2nd week game against Dinamo Kiev on 28th September provides extra motivation to them. The players are also showing great performance with specific focus given to the Cenk Tosun and Talisca who are showing very attacking football and are starting scoring goals. Those players could become key of the game in similar manner as goalkeepers, as Fernando Muslera does tend show better performance compare to the Tolga Zengin lately.
Besiktas does have strength and would expect to carry on its impressive performance at Vodafone Arena where it manages to win games and score no less than 3 goals each game. With right set of mind Besiktas can provide dissapointment to Galatasaray.
Galatasaray players are showing great performance lately and come motivated to Vodafone Arena.
It does need to be stated meanwhile that Galatasaray is much stronger team compare to last season and does provide much better attacking football with new transfers providing much push and strength at the front for the team.
One of the main advantages regardless of squad is incredible performance of newly-signed player Eren Derdiyok who by the way has scored many goals to Besiktas in previous games while being at the Kasimpasa. If Galatasaray would use him in effective way as their did last week against Rizespor than he would be able to find goals and possibly provide some beautiful goals, so it is important for Besiktas to defend him if it doesnt want to concede and put game into danger. Tolga Cigerci, another newly-signed player, has also started season in very impressive manner and therefore his role at the midfield could be important to stop Besiktas attacks and start his team ones. With goalkeeper its arleady clear advantage, as Akhisar Belediyespor head coach Cihat Arslan has stated that with Fernando Muslera there is unfair competition between Galatasaray and other team. The fact that supporters would come to game, even through might not be cheering as loud as Besiktas ones, mentally would surely provide extra motivation for the players.
Galatasaray does provide an impressive performance at the league lately and as remembered it won arleady against Besiktas at the Super Cup via penalty. Even if Besiktas is an advantage with playing home, Galatasaray is close enough to win game also.
Trabzonspor game against Konyaspor is very crucial for future of the season.
After winning with 6:0 Serhat Arhadanspor at the Turkish Cup 2nd round game but having poor start to the Super League, Trabzonspor would aim to carry on this motivation and confidence boost obtained from Ardahanspor against Konyaspor.
It does need to be stated however that Konyaspor is among tough teams at the Super League and despite of not great start for them their would provide strong opposition to Trabzon. Meanwhile, Trabzonspor does need to carry on its motivation from Ardahan but needs to be aware that it is different game at different platform and it would be played against strong team even through their are aware of that. Trabzonspor is among teams which is capable to go through this bad results and so is Ersun Yanal but worrying part is that this performance is similar to last season. Meanwhile, administration has started blaming unluck for this results and this view could be dangerous as it would not do right thing to improve teams football.
After gaining motivation, its time for Trabzonspor to win and getting good score against opponent like Konyaspor who is performing at the Europa League and surely has good aims for this season at the Super League could be coming at the perfect time and set their focus once more. However, to losing to them could bring big damage also so this game is certainly is crucial for Trabzonspor.
