Basaksehirspor has gained some hope to get to the last 32 but it still tough for them
Even through chances for Basaksehirspor to get to the next stage of Europa League are still totally related to luck, their had got an important win against Ludogorets as their are now 2 points behind Bulgarian side who are in 2nd place at group with one game in hand.
When Ludogorets was coming out to the game, it has without doubt aiming to quarentee its last 32 spot at the group and carry on defeatless record at the group but Basaksehirspor from start of the game has shown that it has other plans for a game. With very impressive attacking performance shown both by Edin Visca and Kerim Frei during first 30 minutes the team has managed to get 2:0 leadership as Frei first assisted to Visca and then vice versa during 2nd goal. Without doubt 5:1 win against Galatasaray has provided an enormous motivation for them as it has managed to win best team at the group at their own ground even through it could been argued Ludogorets were not at their best on this game. Now, Basaksehirspor would aim for a win for current leaders Braga and hope for Hoffenheim to upset Ludogorets.
The situation is tough as Hoffenheim arleady eliminated from a group but Basaksehirspor needs to forget about other game and focus to its battle with Braga.
Konyaspor has lost golden opportunity for 2nd place but still can get to knockout stage if lucky.
Call it however you want it, either bad luck or huge mistake, but Mane own goal at 90+3' minute against Olympique Marseille which turned game into 1:1 scoreline could cost huge opportunity for Konyaspor to get to the last 32 stage.
It needs to be stated that Konyaspor didnt provide a very good performance during game as it had difficulty to control game especially during 1st half but it did show a great performance to not allow their French opponents to control game. In fact, whatever it could be commented about Konyaspor lack of quality, which does exist, it showed good performance so far at the Europa League compare to last season as it gained 5 points against 1 point it had last season. Its more forward-seeking performance at 2nd half did turn out pretty good as their got penalty kick which was converted by Skubic on 82nd minute. However, that mistake by Mane has put Konyaspor into difficult chances even through their win against Vitoria, only team which their won so far at this group stage, and possible loss from Marseille from Salzburg who would aim to end group as leaders could be enough for Konyaspor historically to get to next stage.
Konyaspor player and fans should be satisfied with team performance and look positively for next game as their could make history on 7th December.
Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor is in huge pressure against Alanyaspor.
Galatasaray would be getting back to Super League with 13th week game against Alanyaspor to gain some motivation prior to Besiktas derby game next week and also aim to forget about 5:1 loss to Basaksehirspor last week.
One of the important factors meanwhile is also fact that following game could be decider for future of Igor Tudor and even through Tudor doesnt seem to have big issues with teams like Alanyaspor, as his trouble are big teams, it is certain that he is under big pressure which he would be feeling during whole game or until Galatasaray would get 2 goal difference at any moment of the game. Alanyaspor who needs to state occasionally does get an impresive results in recent weeks could see this situation at Galatasaray to its own advantage but it might turn also against them as it happend with Genclerbirligi during 12th week so their should be focussed to the game and aim for good result but play very carefully at defense. It is crucial how Galatasaray would respond following Basaksehirspor game and especially reaction of Igor Tudor.
Hence, this game is very important for race for league title and even more for Igor Tudor future at Galatasaray and would be viewed by many with such a view.
