What happened in Turkish football today? 17/02/2018


Fenerbahce has shown high level performance against Alanyaspor.

Fenerbahce has managed to win an important game against Alanyaspor with 3:0 scoreline and has reached to 44 points which is same points as league leaders Galatasaray with them having one game in hand.

However, most importantly Fenerbahce carries on its leadership fight with their rivals and also get high motivational boost prior to crucial Besiktas derby game next week. Fenerbahce has been shown high level control of the game from beginning and even through Alanyaspor has been side which to create dangerous chances, following that position and especially after Giuliano goal on 19th minute it has shown more control of ball. It could be stated that Fenerbahce starting from last week carries on showing great improvement as it was moving to this game that among motivation which was arleady pleasant at the team it has also got high motivation for upcoming games. It was also important for Giuliano who is been seen as one of the main goalscorer has found two goals which would raise his motivation and without trouble Fenerbahce does show an improvement in recent games.

Alanyaspor even through did show some good signs at start of the game wasnt able to show right reaction to conceding goal and has allowed Fenerbahce to control game without providing much trouble to Carlos Kameni. Absence of Vagner Love at Alanyaspor is very clear at the team and it would have difficult crucial weeks from now on.

Fenerbahce has gained an important win and would now focus entirely to Besiktas game which would take place on 25th February where it would also aim for with also high level performance.

Besiktas needs to improve its away game performance if it wants league title.

Besiktas wasnt able to improve their performance prior to Champions League games and also away performance as team has drawn against struggling but in same time improved opponent Konyaspor with 1:1 scoreline.

Sadly, the game has been remembered mainly with poor performance of referee of the game which has made number of suspicious decisions including not counting Jahovic goal which was clear clean goal. However, he would be mainly remembered to provide yellow cards to Pepe and Anderson Talisca without much clear reasons which means their would be missing Fenerbahce derby next week. Still, Besiktas didnt show great performance against Konyaspor with possibly mentally being at the Bayern Munich where there need to improve a lot if it want to get a score which would provide some hope for 2nd leg. Besiktas is also needs to improve away game performance during this season as those loss points is main reason why their losing chance to get league title by each week.

Compare to Fenerbahce, Besiktas to some extend has even more important game prior to derby as their would meet difficult game against German giants Bayern Munich where Besiktas needs certainly to show their best game  ever for good score.

Galatasaray would aim improve their away games performance against Kasimpasa. 

Galatasaray would aim to regain its point difference leadership from Fenerbahce as it would be playing Super League 22nd week game against Kasimpasa where it would be also aim to improve its away game performance.

Despite of being leaders, one of the main reasons when its not having good point difference with 2nd game has been an away game performance which even through was improved also visible with Fatih Terim as their lost point against Sivasspor and also drawn at Turkish Cup in Konya. One of the main downsides which could provide some affect to Galatasaray has been absence of Youness Belhanda who has been at form in recent weeks but it needs to be admitted that team has players who would be able to fill up their spaces in game tomorrow. Meanwhile, Kasimpasa would also believe their can provide surprising result being aware of form of the Galatasaray which would provide them some motivation for tomorrow.

Galatasaray are favourites of game without doubt but poor away performance during this season doesnt rule out for them to lose points at the game tomorrow unless their show huge performance.
