What happened in Turkish football today? 04/12/2017


Trabzonspor has raised its winning streak at the league to 3 games. 

Trabzonspor carries on its on-form performance as it has won pretty comfortably against Antalyaspor during Super League 14th week game and has managed to win its 3rd game back-to-back with the help of Burak Yilmaz who has scored 2 goals.

Even through Trabzonspor start playing its top football pretty late at the season with today's win it has got 8 points behind of league leaders Basaksehirspor and to some extend also found themselves at the title race even through its situation is pretty hard that among point difference with leaders there are teams above them. However, its important note that club's new head coach Riza Calimbay so far has only lost one game in 4 league games and that only loss game has been in the week when he joined team. To some extend Antalyaspor has also used factor that Antalyaspor are not at good form to its advantage and hence has got such an important result. It does need to be mentioned also that Trabzonspor start playing pretty good collective football and becomes team to beat at the Super League in upcoming weeks. Only negative part is for Jan Kurica to get injured during today's game.

Antalyaspor in other hand is in very poor condition without able to get its maximum performance taking account of level of squad which team has. It needs to get things better and improve its performance if it doesnt want to get into relegation zone.

Trabzonspor is currently is at the great form as been mentioned and with Burak Yilmaz keep on carrying on scoring goals would be able to push his team forward and get closer to the top part of the standings at the Super League.

Fenerbahce are getting into mood of fighting for league title both mentally and physically.

Fenerbahce carries on its improving performance at the league as it has won this time against Kasimpasa during Super League 14th week game with 4:2 scoreline and right now are 4 points behind league leaders Basaksehirspor.

Among winning 3rd game back-to-back it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce has shown one of its best performances not only during this season but also for recent years as it has controlled game from start to end with also Giuliano without doubt becoming one of the key players with finding 2 goals. It needs to be stated that with high level performance by Fenerbahce and also loss of points of their opponents above their team put them into motivation for league title race even more and as team their start playing football which was missed by high number of their supporters without doubt. It was also important to find 4 goals at the game where their had lack of attackers for different reasons. Only negative things about yesterday performance which could be seen from the team and supporters is to concede once again two simple goals and even through it did seemed to solve those issue in last 2 games, it was visible it was an issue in game yesterday.

Fenerbahce is also getting into good habit at finding goals as their become most goalscoring team with 30 goals so far and now would look forward to continue this performance against Bursaspor 8th December.

Basaksehirspor has become league leaders after 14th week.

With Galatasaray losing to Besiktas with 3:0 scoreline during Super League 14th week game and Basaksehirspor winning Osmanlispor it has managed to be league leaders becoming 2nd team to take top position during this season.

One of the main question during this season has been if Basaksehirspor would be able to carry on its title race in similar manner as it didlast season with taking account that it would be at Europa League. So far, Basaksehirspor has managed to show this performance which it needed and with winning Galatasaray 5:1 and in overall not losing any games against big teams has proven that its a team which is capable to fight and even become champions. Saying that this season seems to be specificaly hard to win as high number of teams seems to be able to fight for that place especially after Galatasaray start losing points. Basaksehirspor in same time however does seem to struggle as their win against Osmanlispor and also draw against Kayserispor last week so it is big question if it would be able to carry on this performance with high pressure of being leader but it is expected that it gained an important experience from last season.

Basaksehirspor would be expected to be at race for leadership at least until mid-season break and are expected to carry on this performance during 2nd half of the season for sure.
