What happened in Turkish football today? 24/02/2018


Trabzonspor has won its 1st game for 2018. 

Trabzonspor has finally won its 1st game of 2018, beating Alanyaspor even through it was losing for most part of the game but has managed to show great character and comeback and surely has gained motivation which it was lacking.

As, Alanyaspor player Emre Akbaba has found an early goal against Trabzonspor it was worried that Trabzonspor would carry on its poor performance as Riza Calimbay has stated several times that it would be seeking for a win and aiming to solve its lack of goals. Prior to 69th minute goal from Burak Yilmaz even through he did find number of good chances it wasnt able to able to get control of the game and as he found goal it was visible that team does have some issues with other players being involved. Certainly winning goal from Abdulkadir Omur would make Calimbay satisfied as he has gained motivation especially when that goal costed them a win. Still, this performance does raise some questions regarding of Trabzonspor but it was important to win to get motivation especially prior to Besiktas game.

Alanyaspor being aware that Trabzonspor does have some issues as team right now tried to use its opportunity and has provided pretty attacking game for the game probably most forward seeking since Vagner Love has left team. It needs to be stated Alanyaspor attitude to game has been good and it needs to carry on like that.

Trabzonspor has won an important game for them for the aims for this season and also regain confidence and motivation after not being able to win games. Now it would look forward for Besiktas game which would have 2 games against Fenerbahce this week and would feel tired for sure.

Galatasaray has shown dominating game against Bursaspor

Galatasaray has managed to confident win against Bursaspor with 5:0 scoreline during Super League 23rd week game in such important win with Bafetembi Gomis playing most important role as he provided hattrick.

Even through it was expected for Bursaspor to get a comfortable win with taking account that their didnt win single game during this calendar year it was still expected for Galatasaray to have some problems due of pressure coming from last week game. However, it happened total opposite as Galatasaray has dominated from start to an end. Meanwhile, hat-trick of Gomis has shown once again that he is in good condition following an incident with his health which took place last week. Another factor was that their made great understanding with Garry Rodrigues who among scoring goals has provided great assists during game and are dominated game and played most important role for such a win.

With following win Galatasaray has chance to end this week as leaders as would be waiting for results from Fenerbahce and Besiktas games, but as team their are would now focus to Turkish Cup semi-final game against Akhisarspor.

Both Besiktas and Fenerbahce would only aim for win. 

Super League 23rd week derby game between Besiktas and Fenerbahce outcome would not having impact to both teams but also direct factor for title race with both teams fighting for league title with Besiktas needing to win game.

This is being among games which is specifically difficult to state favourite game not only its being derby but also some factors. However, when judging both sides strengths and weaknesses in current position Fenerbahce are coming out with better chance. This is been seen from statistically as recent results especially during 2018 has put team at 1st position and also its taken 1st place in table with away games. Coming to Besiktas it is dominating at home ground and its strong supporters could provide pressure to Fenerbahce players. With Besiktas also losing to Bayern Munich with 5:0 scoreline during Champions League last 16 1st leg game it would also be seen how game would affect to the motivation and focus where it would either be morally affected or provide more fighting spirit. Without doubt absence of Talisca and Pepe would affect them, while Fenerbahce would be closer to come out to the game with ideal squad.

One thing is certain the game is likely to be played in exciting and nervous position. There is chance that it might now be game with high number of dangerous chances but both teams would give their best to get 3 points at such crucial game for both of them.
