Besiktas slowly moves to achieve high accomplishments at Champions League.
Besiktas has marked an important history by winning against German club RB Leipzig at the Champions League Group G 2nd week game with 2:0 scoreline and hence becoming 1st team among Turkish clubs to win first two games at the tournament.
With such a good performance by Besiktas it does show itself to be team at the European level which it proved not only against RB Leipzig but also against Porto on 1st week, which by the way has won away game against Monaco with 3:0 scoreline. Even through with being still early days at the group competition it does need to be stated that Besiktas has very good advantage for getting to the next stage as it has 5 points difference against 3rd placed team and can even fight for top spot. Meanwhile, during the game the role of Besiktas has played once again an important role which could be observed by Timo Werner even becoming deaf during game. The story was that he asked for ear puds do not hear supporters but it has brough him dizziness instead. With such fans Besiktas is expected to get great results at home and even more importantly now what it would do at away games. The team without doubt has set a high aims for this season and its slowly but effectively moving to achieve that.
What is important here that Besiktas is not only winning games but winning in high level performance which is always hard task to do at tough tournament like Champions League regardless who is opponent. If it wont make mistakes it can achieve a lot in this season.
Basaksehirspor inexperience factor might once again play role against Braga.
Turkish clubs at Europa League would have small battle with Portuguese clubs as Basaksehirspor would be meeting with Braga and Konyaspor with Vitoria Guiraes. As was the case, at 1st week Basaksehirspor would meet with team which has high experience at Europa League during past seasons.
But even more crucial Braga did meet both with Besiktas and Fenerbahce during last 2 seasons in Europe and did gain pretty good results so good news for them, and bad news for Basaksehirspor is that it would be tough game for them. Basaksehirspor without doubt is team which is capable to get to the play-off round, but as was obvious at last game against Ludogorets experience does plan an important role. However, it is expected that Basaksehirspor did get a valuable lesson from actually good performance at last week game and even through Braga is stronger opponent for them, it should be expected to raise its level with its performance. Still Basaksehirspor needs to focus at the defensive aspects of the game if it wants to get good result.
Looking at the game neutrally and taking account factor of experience Braga does come out slightly favourable but it wont be certainly big surprise if Basaksehirspor would win game tomorow.
Konyaspor needs to play more brave football at Europa League.
Unfortunately as this blog has stated lots of times in last 2 years, Konyaspor are not in the level of the Europa League and hence even through it would meet with one of the easiest opponents at the tournament, it does need to provide extra effort to win the game.
Main advantage for Konyaspor that it would be playing at home which in same time would be their first game where it would be meeting with its own fans due of TFF supporters ban. Therefore and taking account importance of the game it is expected that Konyaspor fans would be filling up the stadium and hence provide an important motivation for their side in such crucial game. Konyaspor meanwhile needs to provide much more brave football if it wants to win game without forgetting about its defence, the task is not specifically easy for them but their capable to achieve that. Konyaspor crucial aspect is to provide more brave football and see what would that bring as playing too cautious wont bring much to them in Europa League.
Konyaspor needs to stop seeing this as good experience and chance to get valuable lesson at this tournament and start fighting for wins if it wants to show successful performance.
