What happened in Turkish football today? 13/04/2018


Besiktas gets good advantage for league title with comfortable win against Akhisarspor. 

Besiktas has got comfortable win against Akhisarspor during Super League 29th week and has got into leadership until 15th April as it aims to get 3rd title back-to-back at this very close title race which includes 4 teams, as Ryan Babel has found 2 early goals in both halves which played an important role for this win.

Besiktas was coming as favourite for this game as was expected due of being at title race and also recent form team at, but it is very likely has provided even more calmer win than it was expecting during the game. With finding an early goal with help of the Ryan Babel without having much trouble it has managed to find also 2nd goal with help of Alvaro Negredo who used an opportunity from very simple mistake of Akhisarspor. Even through towards 2nd part of 1st half it did lose concentration and allowed opponents to create chances it was still visible that Besiktas had control of the game.
With both goals scored by Ryan Babel meanwhile he was able to show his important and key role he would be playing at the weeks where Besiktas cant afford to lose game. With this win Besiktas without doubt would be able to provide pressure towards their opponents especially Basaksehirspor and Galatasaray who will be playing against each other. Besiktas now would put into break its title race as it would be meeting against Fenerbahce at the Turkish Cup semi-final 2nd leg.

Akhisarspor even through did show some good and attacking focussed game against Besiktas, it did provide very poor performance for most amount of time and even when it did create chances it has shown lacked of being effective in very good chances. It does look that Akhisarspor has lost concentration at Super League and doesnt show good view to aim to turn around Turkish Cup semi-final game against Galatasaray.

Besiktas would now aim to get to the Turkish Cup final and also aim for 5 out of 5 game period for league title including winning against Galatasaray after next week which could be key game of this season.

Fenerbahce has full concentration against Sivasspor and rest of the season

Fenerbahce would be hoping to keep its hope for league title at the end of the season as it would be playing against Sivasspor during Super League 29th week aiming only for a win as it has no other choice.

Following national team break, Fenerbahce carries on providing very good performance and would be aiming to carry on similar against in-form side Sivasspor as it is aiming for 100% winning record until end of the season. It has been stated several times that with entering to last stage of the title race, Fenerbahce has biggest advantage at the fixture and that Sivasspor among all games left could be most difficult. However, as title race has shown during this season their isnt game which could be given 100% to them and hence Fenerbahce without doubdt needs to provide full focus and concentration. It is meanwhile also expected for Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman to start with

Aatif Chacheohue rather than with Mathieu Valbuena as latter two still has number of misunderstandings despite the fact that he is being most useful player to the side right now. Sivasspor on the other hand still has some chances to fight for Europa League 5th spot but does show some out-of-form performance which could lead negative impact to them.

Fenerbahce would be coming out as favourites to this crucial games as all games left would be for them but with right set of mind it should be able to end game with a win with its good form at away games.

How Arda Turan would be treated at Turk Telekom Arena are among big questions of this week games. 

During likely most important game during this season at the Super League 29th week game between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor, their would be also big focus into reactions from Galatasaray supporters and Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim towards Basaksehirspor player Arda Turan.

As it is known, Arda Turan has been one of the legends of Galatasaray but due of long misunderstandings with Fatih Terim which goes back to Turkish National Team and also Arda not joining Galatasaray during transfer window is expected to raise lots of the tension. Even through with current performance Arda Turan could not be referred as key player of Basaksehirspor, all of the negative aspects which he would recieve during game could have negative effect to whole team and there is possibility that Basaksehirspor head coach Abdullah Avci might not even start with Arda Turan during game even through at such crucial game using experience of one of Turkish football legends could be also big risk to him. With high tension and Arda Turan showing some angry reactions in recent period, it is also unclear how Arda would respond to negative treatment towards him during game which is likely to take place during game and hence could raise tension even further as game progresses.

Among fight for leadership at the table with 5 games left after that game, there would be also be incredible focus towards relations between Arda Turan and opposition fans and Fatih Terim without doubt.
