What happened in Turkish football today? 04/03/2018


Fenerbahce has lost crucial 3 points due of tiredness from last week games. 

Fenerbahce had experienced pretty dissapointing night at its home game against Akhisarspor during Super League 24th week at the game where it has found to be negatively affected by Besiktas games during this week and has found itself 6 points behind leaders.

Even through the game has ended with 3:2 scoreline and Fenerbahce did show some signs of showing comeback but it did end 1st half with 2:0 scoreline which did show face how Fenerbahce has been providing poor game. Taking account that Akhisarspor has come out for the game to get some results and use its tiredness for its advantage has managed to provide great counterattacks as statistically Fenerbahce has dominated game. Even through Fenerbahce prior to Besiktas game did show great performance in recent weeks it carries on paying prices for lost points and now has difficult job to show comeback. Even through Fenerbahce still managed to show some attacking moments during game it has show very poor performance at the back area which it needed to improve today. It also needs to be stated that Kameni didnt have great night as he did concede pretty simple goals which is likely to be saved from Volkan Demirel.

Akhisarspor which was also at great form during recent weeks at the league has managed to show its momentum and use weakness of its opponents of being tired from Besiktas games back-to-back. Surely, team has got great motivation for last 10 games.

Fenerbahce did find itself at the difficult situation right now as it is currently 6 points behind both Basaksehirspor and Galatasaray and with 10 games left it can only win all games to have chance for league title.

Galatasaray has got an important win against Karabukspor with 7:0 scoreline.

Galatasaray has shown very dominating game during Super League 24th week game against Karabukspor with winning game with 7:0 scoreline even through it did play with most struggling side both financially and mentally.

Therefore, with Karabukspor literally losing each game back-to-back without showing much organised games in recent weeks it was normal for Galatasaray to get control of the game even if it was played at away stadium. Without doubt the main reason for such dominant result getting from Galatasaray has been 4 goals scored by Bafetembi Gomis who is also moving at the becoming most goalscorer of the season and without doubt if team does get league title at the end of the season, biggest thanks should be given towards Gomis. Coming to the Karabukspor, unfortunately it doesnt look like team would be able to come to themselves for rest of the season and as head coach Levent Acikgoz has stated right now team can only focus towards upcoming season with possibly focussing into playing young players.

Galatasaray without doubt has recieved an important win as it might actually reduce their away game phobia as game was gotten at away field but again Karabukspor is not great reference point for them.

Trabzonspor does have opportunity to use Besiktas issues to its advantage. 

Without doubt main game of the Super League 24th week would be between Trabzonspor and Besiktas, with Besiktas must win game to keep their chances for league title and also for Trabzonspor to have small chance or at least stay at Europa League zone.

It needs to be state that Besiktas would have very difficult game due of some circumstances as among being tired from Fenerbahce game during Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game it would also have crucial substances at its squad including Ricardo Quaresma who has recieved red card in cup game and also Pepe who is reported to become injured for 1 month. This two factors would affect to the game and in upcoming games as those two players are one of the key players whose strength provides important factor for team to stay at title race. Trabzonspor compare to Besiktas would come in better condition both with squad and form and hence does have realistic chances to win game if it uses this weaknesses of opponents in very effective manner.

The game hence promises to be very exciting with both sides giving their all and possibly providing an attacking game, even through this area is problematic for Trabzonspor.
