Trabzonspor has got an important motivation to end year with best results.
Thanks to the hat-trick of the Trabzonspor player Hugo Rodallega against Erzurum Buyuksehir Belediyespor, Trabzonspor has managed to win Turkish Cup 5th round 1st leg with 4:0 scoreline and is very close to get to the last 16 stage.
In fact, all of the top 4 teams at the Turkey didnt have much trouble against lower division sides as Besiktas has managed to win Manisaspor with 9 goals, Galatasaray winning 5:1 against Sivas Belediyespor and Fenerbahce winning with 6:0 goals against Adana Demirspor. In other words, if nothing would happen during 2nd leg all of the big 4 would be at last 16 as expected. It was incredible important for Trabzonspor to get such a comfortbale win as its not doing too well at the Super League where it doesnt show good performance even through its recent results are pretty good. Meanwhile, Hugo Rodallega is showing a good performance at the Turkish Cup finding also number of goals during previous stage against Corlu Belediyespor despite of getting needless red card.
Surely, this performance at Turkish Cup would positively affect to the Super League where it aims to end season with best results it can get possibly with 100% record.
Besiktas has high confidence against Galatasaray due of factor that their opponents doesnt win big teams with Tudor
With Turkish Cup 5th round 1st leg games right now full focus is given to the Super League especially without doubt towards derby game between Besiktas and Galatasaray which would be also last derby game of 2017.
Besiktas which plays at home and has great results at the Vodafone Arena without losing any games would still be aiming to find its 1st win at the derby game as all prior games has ended with a draw. With being 6 points behind league leaders without doubt it would be aiming to reduce point difference against their leaders and get closer to the title race prior to enter to the mid-season break. Besiktas does have advantage as it didnt play Champions League and has been focussed entirely to Galatasaray game as their substitutes has played at the Turkish Cup. It needs to be stated that Besiktas would have this advantage as their fans which did move forward their team at Champions League would certainly do same during Galatasaray game. Also that aware that Igor Tudor didnt win against big 4 until now would provide motivation to them.
Therefore, Besiktas have some advantage but it needs to remember that it can have trouble with current form of their opponent despite of having trouble against big clubs.
Galatasaray needs to brave football against Besiktas if it wants to win game.
In other hand, Galatasaray are coming out to the game with 6 point advantage over Besiktas and hence it provides less pressure compare to opponents at table wise towards them which without doubt does provide lots of advantage in derby games.
It also needed to be stated that Galatasaray and Igor Tudor are determined to win game with getting better position towards mid-season break which is getting close and also manage to win their 1st game against "big clubs". As been stated still at the Besiktas section it will not be an easy game as their opponents has strong advantage at playing home ground with strong support from their fans. However, its important for them to take this issue out of sight and focus to dominate game and playing proud football factor which been biggest issue against other big teams during this season. Therefore, this derby game is very difficult to predict even through some things does make Besiktas slightly more advantegous.
What is important here is for Galatasaray to play proud football or otherwise it wont be able to get their 1st derby win with Tudor and dissapoint Besiktas and their supporters at their home ground.
