Fenerbahce has got an important win against Goztepe despite of not showing dominating during whole game.
Despite of having poor performance for most of the parts by Fenerbahce and being far from its expected performance, it has managed to win very important game against Goztepe with help of an own goal from Kosanovic with unlucky touch in last minutes, as their have won game with 2:1 scoreline.
Fenerbahce however did start game in very good way with high tempo as Giuliano has found very good chance and has hit into upper post at the 15th second of the game. Fenerbahce has carried on similar performance as game has developed showing an attacking football proving that it was aiming for a win. However, as it has found goal during 14th minute from Fernandao it has reduced tempo during the game which has affected for a team to lose its domination and allowed Goztepe to get into game and raise its motivation and belief. It needs to be stated that even through conceded goal from Andre Poko with simple mistake it needs to be stated that it didnt make much mistakes at the defence but its main issue wasnt mistakes but not dominating game. After conceding Fenerbahce slowly did get an control of the game and with providing pressure did get an important win at the end of the day.
Goztepe didnt manage to start well not expecting such an attacking game from Fenerbahce but as game progressed it went into more brave game and has shown some organising football but it wasnt strong enough to get game into their hand. With this performance Goztepe can end at top 5 but league title would be tough in all honesty.
Fenerbahce has got leadership at the title race at least for 19 hours and would recieve an important motivation as team didnt lose its habit of the game and would now look forward for Trabzonspor game during 19th week.
Besiktas would need to pass closed defence to win against Antalyaspor.
Besiktas which without doubt has high aims for the 2nd half of the season would be resuming its attempt to defend its league title with game against Antalyaspor where it would be having just focus to win game against struggling opponent.
Besiktas would be come out against the opponent which was seeking to make this season among teams to fight for high spots but wasnt able to get. Therefore, it is expected that Besiktas would be coming as favourite but it would need to solve out its problems of not solving finding position of closed sides as it had those issues during most part of 1st half of the season. With Antalyaspor being aware of quality differences between sides and also knowing this weakness of Besiktas would be aiming to provide this kind of football. One of the notes of the game would be also for Besiktas that Domagoj Vida who has recieved his licence from team yesterday would be expected to be playing tomorrow and hence would be able to make his 1st mark to the team at the league.
Besiktas are expected to be favourite side for the game as it would be highly motivated to the game and are aware that are aiming for league title.
Trabzonspor are expected to seek revenge for being relegated from Turkish Cup to Konyaspor.
Trabzonspor would be aiming to get revenge from Konyaspor following being eliminated from
Turkish Cup last 16 stage with 2:1 scoreline and would be seeking way to provide higher performance.
Trabzonspor has been expected to provide much better an attacking game during that game but Konyaspor has played a smart game with being cup holders and hence this performance has affected them, however Super League would be having different aims as Konyaspor are having poor season right now and would be providing much better focus to Turkish Cup. With taking that in-side and with Trabzonspor expected to provide better focus to game it could be providing more organised and attacking game. Stating that it would be reasonably to expect for Konyaspor to gain high level of motivation from Turkish Cup tie and hence would be coming against Trabzonspor believing that it can beat them as their didnt lose to them in last 2 games in Turkish Cup.
This game would be expected for Trabzonspor to get revenge from Turkish Cup while Konyaspor would be coming out with motivation that it eliminated them. With this taking into account game expects to be pretty exciting without doubt.
