Besiktas has drawn formality game against Kayserispor.
Besiktas has completed its Turkish Cup group stage performance at this season without recieving any loss as it has ended formality game against Kayserispor with 1:1 result and with having very good performance at the group stage, it has been awarded with last 16 game against Fenerbahce.
Taking account that game was played purely for formality, as Kayserispor has quarenteed its last 16 spot as runners-up of the group, it has led for game to be played at slow pace in the winter and snowy condition with Besiktas playing with youth players. Taking account that Besiktas has also arrived few minutes before kick-off it was normal for game not to provide any excitement. However, as always been case you cant be angry for both sides due of matter of the game and both sides playing safe thinking about crucial games at this weekend at the Super League. As been mentioned yesterday, only bad news from the game is an injury recieved by Besiktas player Omer Sismanoglu.
Besiktas has been drawn with runners-up of the Group C Fenerbahce at the game which could be qualified as early final and would certainly be a game of high quality between two rivals.
Trabzonspor has said goodbye to Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium with win.
Trabzonspor with having disastrous performance at the Turkish Cup, did manage to win its last game of the group stage against Konyaspor with having an extra motivation of playing its last game at the Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium.
Konyaspor who has quarenteed as leaders of the group and also with playing game with team for whom its historical game it would be seen quite natural for Konyaspor to play its not best game without providing too much effort and to some extend allow Trabzonspor to win game, which has came from Dame N'Doye goal at the 39th minute. Trabzonspor needless to say has provided very poor Turkish Cup performance at this season and needs to take some lessons from this performance as it was expected for them to do pretty well due of poor performance at the league.
For rest of the season, Trabzonspor would now focus to the Super League as it would be opening its new chapter on 29th January against Gaziantepspor, as it would be play its first game at its new Senol Gunes Complex, as it has closed another chapter yesterday, and aim to get good results at their new stadium for rest of the season.
Galatasaray needs to win against Akhisar Belediyespor to stay strong for title race.
Following poor performance and result during Super League 18th week game against Karabukspor, Galatasaray would certainly aim for much better results against Akhisar Belediyespor during 19th week game of the season.
This game is pretty important for Galatasaray in sense to get back more closer to the title race of this season and also regain its motivation and confidence as their had provided pretty poor performance during last 2 weeks of the league. 6:2 win against 24 Erzincanspor at the Turkish Cup has certainly provided big motivation to the team prior to game and is very certainly would lead for Lukas Podolski to start at starting 11 where he would also to carry on his top performance. Akhisar Belediyespor as the team does go through tough season but their still team with good and strong team and Galatasaray needs to perform well as performance against Karabukspor could not be enough and once again it might not be lucky enough to find points at the game.
This game is also important for Galatasaray head coach Jan Olde Riekerink as any result apart of win could raise even more question mark over his head coaching skills.
