Galatasaray is only team with 100% record so far this season.
Galatasaray carries on its perfect start of the 2017-18 season as it has become only team to make 3 out of 3 wins as it has won game with 3:0 scoreline at the game where Tolga Cigerci has become star player.
As it would been remembered Tolga Cigerci has been among most criticised players at the Galatasaray during past season but being hardworking player and also surrounding with higher quality players has led him to improve as player and hence use his chances during the games in more effective way. It could been argued that Galatasaray didnt provide same style of football during 45th minutes compare to previous two weeks but even taken this into account it has been always been visible that it would be able to improve and raise its tempo. Galatasaray has come out to the game once again with strong will at wanting to win the game which has been responded at how it has performed especially during 2nd half, and Tolga Cigerci especially showed how he wanted to be a key player with his two goals finding during today. Meanwhile, it does look both Tolga Cigerci and Bafetembi Gomis could become most goal scorers at the team this season.
Sivasspor meanwhile has provided pretty good football today and had tried its best to create high number of the chances especially during 1st half but this forward-seeking football style of Galatasaray has led them to lose game where it didnt provide a bad game.
Galatasaray without doubt is the team with the best form right now and it has shown that with a win today against Sivasspor and only team to make 3 out of 3 before national team break and would be going to break at great mood.
Aykut Kocaman Fenerbahce is worser than Advocaat and Pereira for today.
Fenerbahce has provided one of the big dissapointment at the history of Turkish clubbing football at its performance at the European tournaments. What makes even more dissapointing that it didnt lose game due of accident but mainly due of incapability to show top football.
Following the game, Vardar head coach has stated at the press conference that even through Fenerbahce are not strong opponents it was playing a very predictable football at which it has focussed on during whole game. As been stated at yesterday blog, this blog does not aim to state that Vardar is bad team and didnt deserve to win, their played smart football and got what their wanted. However, with taking account quality of squad, experience at Europe and also other points Fenerbahce needed to win without doubt and get to the group stage. Many fans at the team has looked with coming of Aykut Kocaman to the team as new beginning and new victories however and unfortunately to them their performing much worser than with Dick Advocaat and Viktor Pereira. Fenerbahce still has long time to save its season and even win the title but it would be very hard task to achieve it.
It is quite natural for fans to be unhappy with a team and maybe this team needs as much revision as does Galatasaray but the difference is Galatasaray did smart transfers, Fenerbahce has failed to do so.
Besiktas looks to be favourite against Bursaspor but it would be tough game.
Besiktas would be meeting with Bursaspor at the week prior to the national team break at the Super League 3rd week game which could be seen as one of the most interesting games of this week. This rivarly even through would not be referred as derby and having direct importance to league title, is still very big and exciting.
It needs to be stated that Besiktas didnt start season in high mode and does lack a speed which was seen in previous two seasons but in same time Besiktas didnt start a season well last season and also has lost points in last 2 seasons during 2nd week. This of course doesnt mean that Besiktas would compete with league title this season but it does mean that there is not much worry about it as long as Besiktas would improve as team get adapted more to new transfers. Bursaspor did start this season as most teams in mix form however it is known that it is preparing with different motivation and also a win tomorrow would provide an extra motivation for rest of the season or at least for upcoming weeks of the season. Besiktas are coming out as favourites but with Besiktas being far from its best performance it would not be easy one and it might have similar issues as it did with Kasimpasa.
Stating that Besiktas would play at home with its supporters for 1st time this season and it is likely their would provide extra motivation to the team at the game tomorrow.
