What happened in Turkish football today? 17/03/2018


Fenerbahce and Galatasaray has drawn against each other with Galatasaray getting an advantage for league title.

Super League 26th week game between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray has been ended with goalless draw as both sides has shown willingness to win game. But it needs to be stated that Galatasaray with being aware that it didnt win at Kadikoy for long time would been happy with draw and has provided their 2nd half performance with this taking into account.

Fenerbahce has been aware that it would need to win this game and needed to show an attacking game but being aware that it could have conceded goal could have provided even more issues and hence it would have affected to their chance for league title could be provided situation even more dangerous. However, it was expected that Fenerbahce needed to provide much better attacking game especially during 2nd half however even with Valbuena, Fernandao has been coming out to the game and could have turned around game. It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman has once again lacked to show an attacking game and didnt provide much risk performance at the game which it needed to be given during game. Sadly for them, Fenerbahce still didnt show risky football when it needed most which affected in recent year for their league title.

Galatasaray it needs to be stated has got an result which it was seeking for as it has kept 6 point advantage against Fenerbahce and has kept leadership prior to the international friendly games. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray has created high amount of dangerous chances and didnt manage to turn them, but the side has provided an effective game being careful and not conceding goal. Both sides has shown great defensive game with goalkeepers showing great performance which has led game to be ended with 0:0 scoreline. Galatasaray would be unhappy that period of not winning has raised to 19 games but when it is focussed to league title it has got good advantage with hoping for good result from Basaksehirspor and Besiktas game from 18th March game. It needs to be admitted that Bafetembi Gomis who could was main player to be closer to the goal didnt get chances which could he have created.

It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce draw didnt provide good position as it has stayed 6 points behind Galatasaray while their opponents would be satisfied with following result as Besiktas and

Basaksehirspor would be kept with chances to get league title.

Besiktas and Basaksehirspor expects to be played with high tension with both sides giving all to win.
Another crucial game which would been played during this week without doubt would be between Basaksehirspor and Besiktas as the draw between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray would lead for side winning at the game getting closer to the league title.

As it was stated several times at this blog, Besiktas has improved with its performance since losing to Bayern Munich with 5:0 scoreline has provided better focus to the Super League and with forms of both sides Besiktas would be coming as stronger favourite. However, Basaksehirspor it needs to be stated has always shown great performance against top 4 teams at its ground, even before it was team fighting for league title. With this taking account game would be played at risky position for Besiktas during game. It needs to be stated that team which would be more focussed to the game and provide an attacking game quite naturally would be closer for league title at the end of the game. With both sides attackers showing great attacking game performance of defenders would be key which also put Besiktas into advantage situation.

Besiktas does look to be slightly favourite for game but with Basaksehirspor being at the title race and same points this game would be tough to be called before game.

Trabzonspor could have some difficult time against Yeni Malatyaspor. 

Trabzonspor would be coming against Yeni Malatyaspor with an aim to get Europa League spot at the end of the season and does look to be closer to win but their opponents are unpredictable as their seem to get some points from teams like Trabzonspor.

With winning last game against Akhisarspor, Trabzonspor has regained motivation and confidence which it needs to  get to the 5th place for Europa League and also aiming for high level performance even when the team seems to be in financial and administrative crises. But as been stated with Yeni Malatyaspor also being at good form it is being an unpredictitable side and playing against team which is not showing consistent performance does put them good chances to get draw or win at the of the game. Therefore, this game will not be easy at all for Trabzonspor and it would be once again aiming for goals scored by Burak Yilmaz to make their game into more effective for upcoming weeks. It just important for Trabzonspor to stay focussed and show similar performance as their did last week.

Trabzonspor are coming as favourite but it would be tough game as Yeni Malatyaspor are showing good performance recently and hence would be aiming to continue to do against Trabzonspor.
