Fenerbahce need to win game but with being ahead against derby rivarly at home in recent pasts puts them into favour.
Super League 26th week game between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray has taken even more important matter with position of both sides and also factor that Galatasaray didnt win in Kadikoy for 19 years. However, with Fenerbahce only needed win the pressure would be felt mainly to them.
Prior to this derby game, Fenerbahce is located at 4th place and are 6 points behind Galatasaray and 3 from Besiktas and Basaksehirspor which means that loss of 3 points for Fenerbahce could mean that their would be out of title race almost for certain as it would be tough to close 9 point difference during 8 game period. With having dominance at their home ground however Fenerbahce does have high confidence and motivation for game being aware that their are dominating at this ground and this factor would move them forward to win once again with support of fans. Fenerbahce main task of the game is to show great game and stop Bafetembi Gomis to get high number of the chances. Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman would be hoping to win game and hence would be aiming to provide score-focussed performance which could be good tactically against Galatasaray and if done rightly can get a win.
Fenerbahce is only coming to win game and it does have advantages for this with Galatasaray form at Kadikoy and this season form at away games.
Galatasaray would be relaxed as it doesnt need to win game as draw is enough.
With not winning at Fenerbahce stadium for 19 years and also poor away form during this season, does put some worrying aspects towards Galatasaray despite of them being leaders of the league and being 6 points ahead of Fenerbahce.
Galatasaray does have an advantage in that draw taking account that its derby game would not be seen as best result and it might even play in this manner without rushing game and using opportunities in effective manner during game. Even through win would put Galatasaray into step closer to get league title this season their away form this season and also Kadikoy factor might them not to risk much as been stated. Still with Galatasaray recent attackers showing great performance and Fenerbahce keep having an issue of conceding goals from simple mistakes could raise chances for Bafetembi Gomis to find goal during the game even through Fenerbahce defence would be expected to be specifically careful and focussed during tomorrow's game at defence as it can lose this game. Therefore, with standing position Galatasaray is not at risk to specifically win game and also expected to be careful at the game.
Galatasaray draw result would reduce psychological factor of not winning games for 19 years prior to game.
Two Istanbulspor players are called for Turkish National Team squad.
Turkish Football Federation has announced today Turkish National Team squad for international friendly games against Republic of Ireland on 23rd March and also for Montenegro for 27th March.
One of the surprising factors is for calling two Istanbulspor players, goalkeeper Okan Kocuk and defender Mehmet Zeki Celik which would be seen as huge surprise but it does look like Turkish National Team head coach Mircea Lucescu during following teams at league below has found those two young players satisfactorily and does see some future of them at the team with other names didnt provide much surprise even through there was absence of Burak Yilmaz and Arda Turan only calling Cenk Tosun and Enes Unal. Without doubt Mircea Lucescu wants to use this opportunity to check capabilities of midfielders as it has most names at the called squad and would be focussed onto how to improve this team. Those friendlies are good oppotunity for Mircea Lucescu to check strength of the squad for Nations League starting after summer.
As games are friendly, it would been expected for squad to be experimental and calling two Istanbulspor players could be explained purely for those reasons and also trust to those players.
