What happened in Turkish football today? 09/02/2018


Galatasaray carries on top performance at its home ground.

Galatasaray has managed to get into semi-final stage of the Turkish Cup with providing an attacking game during 2nd half of the game with the game without doubt which Fatih Terim has been seeking for when he has joined team once again.

Even through Galatasaray has won game with 4:1 scoreline, which has led to the 6:3 aggregate scoreline its needs to be admitted that Konyaspor, cup holders, has provided very nervous times for Galatasaray especially during 1st half and entirely at 1st leg. However, as usual Bafetembi Gomis has become main savior as he has found 2 goals which led team to get ahead at the tie and also get an important win. It was important for Galatasaray to get such a win as it has lost to Sivasspor during last week and wanted to get into winning streak. Stating that we are seeing that Galatasaray are showing good performance at its home ground during this season but still has some issues at away games which tend to carry on Fatih Terim to which he needs to find solutions or otherwise it wont be enough for league title.

Galatasaray would now meet with Akhisarspor which even through have lower chances to get to final compare to their top teams, are still highly motivated for the cup and could provide some pressure to Galatasaray.

Besiktas does need to underestimate Karabukspor if it doesnt want to have difficult game.

Besiktas would be starting its difficult period of all 3 competitions with Super League 21st week game against Karabukspor which tends to be the most straightforward tie for Besiktas, to all respect to Karabukspor.

Stating that its need to be admitted that during last game Karabukspor did show some great character showing that their are having big aims to give their difficult fight at staying at the Super League and getting at least draw from Besiktas would be without doubt provide an incredible motivation for a team to achieve that aim. However, Besiktas would also have strong focus into game and would be taking game seriously and would also hope to get an easy win with very crucial games coming up. Therefore, it is expected that Besiktas would come out as strong favourite for a game but their still need to provide full focus if their dont want to have huge surprise outcome at the end of the day. Karabukspor would certainly give their best at game.

Its just important for Besiktas to stay concentrated to the game and give their best performance with underestimating their opponents or their could get unwanted difficult game in hand.

Trabzonspor would aim to end their draw streak at the league. 

Without doubt Trabzonspor main aim during Super League 21st week game against Genclerbirligi is to end their unlucky struck of 4 draws back-to-back and their would be playing against team which are in good form.

Even through Genclerbirligi are in bottom half of the table, their are showing very good performance in recent weeks and even through their have eliminated from Turkish Cup with losing to Besiktas, their still showing good results at the Super League in 2018 including drawing against Fenerbahce during last week. With recent results from Trabzonspor the scoreline which would be more favourable would been drawn without doubt but in other hand Trabzonspor would be providing an attacking game and aim to improve its organisational aspects and be careful with attack. Trabzonspor with being while ago having some chances to be at least an outsider involvement at title race does have now risk of being away from Europa League spot and hence it does need this win.

Trabzonspor would be expected to improve their performance or their might be having some tough times at game but taking strength difference their are still favourites.
