Besiktas is currently team to beat at the Super League.
Besiktas carries on its performance at the Super League with confident way as it has managed to get confident win against tough opponents Konyaspor during Super League 19th week game with 5:1 scoreline and regain its top position.
It needs to be noted that even through Besiktas was coming out as favourite due of the form of the both sides but it was expected for Konyaspor to provide some tough times at the game. However, organised football by the Besiktas with players knowing what their were doing and having strong focus towards the game has led for Besiktas to get an important win which would certainly push them with confidence in coming games. Meanwhile, Besiktas player Cenk Tosun hat-trick helps him to carry on good performance and raising his total number of goals this season to 15 goals he is becoming main favourite to become goal scorer of this season. Besiktas start showing combative and organised football which does want to score goals a charecteristics it was showing at last season when it got title. It is certain that with this performance it would be team to beat at least for upcoming few games. Only downside is own goal by Dusco Tosic who scored at own goal few times this season arleady, and needs to be careful in defence.
Konyaspor has shown unexpected pretty poor performance at the game today and was pretty far fetched from organised performance it often shows at the league. However, it needs to be noted that Besiktas fast game with finding too early goals has affected to motivation and confidence for rest of the game. It needs to improve this performance for rest of season but it is capable to do so with such squad.
Besiktas has recieved an important win and as was stated that it would be team to beat as it plays in confident manner in next few games. It would come out as favourite against Fenerbahce at the Turkish Cup last 16 game, but with it being derby game anything can happen on the night.
Fenerbahce wasnt able to show fighting spirit against Kayserispor.
Unexpected loss from Kayserispor which are currently at the relegation zone during Super League 19th week game, has led for Fenerbahce to get even further from league title race and it needs to solve its issues of losing crucial points against bottom side teams.
Fenerbahce one of the main problems during this season and especially against big team is to be too reliable towards Jeremain Lens as team tries to start all its attacks by passing to him and hoping he would be able to assist. In fact, after the game Kayserispor head coach Sergen Yalcin has stated that main priority of the team was to stop him during the game and not give him freedom. With this tactic being worked among Lens not being on his best day yesterday has led to 4:1 scoreline. Fenerbahce in addition seemed to be failing to be concentrated especially and surprisingly when scoreline turned to 2:1 and wasnt able to show a right reaction. As Fenerbahce head coach Dick Advocaat has stated after the game the team needs to find solutions to this issue.
Fenerbahce would meet against Besiktas during Turkish Cup last 16 game on the 5th February and the win and at least good football could push motivation and confidence for upcoming games. However, same was said after Basaksehirspor win last week so even that is not certain.
Trabzonspor could make 2017 their year.
Trabzonspor, even through is certain is very far away from league title race, are showing total different football for 2017 years playing much better football at the league and would certainly aim to carry on winning games as it did Gaziantepspor with 4:0 scoreline yesterday.
As it tends to be, for clubs moving to the new stadium has always been seen as the new beginning for the side and it would always aim to win high number of games that new field would also bring great victories and titles, and first games always gives motivation. Trabzonspor has started its first game at Medical Park Stadium pretty well playing best football of this season and quite possibly best football for around 3 years now. This blog has up to now, has criticised team for not being able to fulfill its promise for having transition season however if their able to perform like that at the end of the season their would get at winning situation possibly even ending at the Europa League place. But it is important for them to keep carrying on improving this football.
With Trabzonspor not competing at the last 16 stage of the Turkish Cup, it would have two weeks to prepare for next game at the league against Osmanlispor and lead new transfers and current squad to be more adapted to each other and game style.
