Besiktas has got an important win despite of not providing its best football.
With the win against Rizespor during Super League 23rd week with 1:0 scoreline, Besiktas has become even closer to the league title at the end of the season with showing an upper hand against their opponents.
It needs to be stated that even through statistically Besiktas has shown dominance at the game, it wasnt able to show a quality football which we as followers of the Turkish football became used to see from them. Especially during 2nd half it was playing a kind of football which was mainly focussed to find a goal and even through this led to control of game it has shown lack of the last touch which has provided panic football as it was willing to find goal rather than get an organised football. Even through this factor was seen during today's game it still needs to state that it still managed even with this to show much more good football compare to its opponents. But still this game has provided lots of hope and confidence to the Rizespor as their almost equalised and almost led 2 points loss to the Besiktas. This low performance by Besiktas, comparing to their own standards, could also been related to the upcoming Europa League last 16 game against Olympiakos, as players mind was at that game.
Rizespor has shown a good football against Besiktas with almost getting a point against one of the most form teams at the Super League, but it needs to be stated that Rizespor has given too much respect to its opponent. However, Kweuke chance at the last minutes of the game has led them lose 2 points to the Besiktas. Rizespor needs to provide more fighting spirit if it wants to stay at the league.
Besiktas has got an important win against Rizespor without able to provide top football compare to previous last weeks games. Now it would focus at the Europa League last 16 game against Olympiakos.
Trabzonspor focusses to get to top 4 at the end of the season.
Trabzonspor has won game once again after 2 weeks break against Karabukspor during Super League 23rd week with 1:0 scoreline and carries on its fight for the Europa League at the table and more importantly has regained confidence for rest of the 12 games of this season.
Following win against Karabukspor, Trabzonspor is currently 3 points behind from its direct rivals of the Fenerbahce with their opponents have a game in hand for the 4th and Europa League place fight. Okay Yokuslu goal at the 55th minute has certainly provided an important goal as the outcome of the game could lead an direct impact to their aims for this season and also identify aims for the next season. One of the important aspects for the Trabzonspor right now which should not be ignored its that players are fully focussed for their aim of getting wins and are in right set of mind which is been lacking at the team for last 2 seasons. Yusuf Yazici has also shown an great performance so far at this season and has led with another assists which led him to be direct impact to the 13 goals during this season.
It is pretty clear that Trabzonspor has set an aim for the rest of the season is to get as much points as possible, possibly get to the Europa League spot and get into the good and hopeful mood for summer period and with good summer transfer window start new season as one candidates for league title.
It would become clear how win against Kayserispor has affected Fenerbahce at game against Osmanlispor.
Following win against Kayserispor at the Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg with 3:0 win, Fenerbahce has certainly has regained an important confidence prior to Super League 23rd week game against Osmanlispor.
Stating that it is still unclear if such a performance was due of Turkish Cup was only chance for a team to end season with a title or it would also provide a possitive impact to the Super League. To some extend playing against Osmanlispor, who are among teams at the Super League which shows an organised game with tactical aspects, it would easier to get an answer to this game with Osmanlispor having good chance to get at least point against Fenerbahce. After last week game against Gaziantepspor, Fenerbahce players has stated that this poor performance and lack of confidence has been due of team not winning games and hence a win against Kayserispor should turn around performance and fighting spirit of the Fenerbahce and answer for that will become clear tomorrow.
Fenerbahce normally would come out as favourite but Osmanlispor is capable of providing great surprises as it has shown at Super League and also Europa League so it promises to be an exciting game even through it will not be necessarily be game of lots of chances.
