What happened in Turkish football today? 05/05/2018

Trabzonspor has lost to Kasimpasa in unexpected manner. 

Kasimpasa has provided big surprise to the Trabzonspor during Super League 32nd week game as their had managed to beat them with impressive 5:2 scoreline and in overall has been looked much better side with showing dominating game whole time.

Trabzonspor without doubt has been coming out to the game as strong favourite despite of having high number of injuries as Kasimpasa has become side without much aims and didnt expected to be highly motivated for the game. Trabzonspor as been stated has been lacking number of the players and most of the players has not being getting into the game during the game apart possibly of the Filip Novak who has been among most active players with among finding 2 goals during game. This performance meanwhile has shown that Trabzonspor defensive play has been pretty poor as it couldnt find ways to prevent Kasimpasa to score 5 goals including especially stopping Trezeguet. With this result Trabzonspor even through has kept its 5th place which could bring to Europa League but it needs to improve its performance for last 2 weeks where it would be playing against Bursaspor and Karabukspor in those games. Trabzonspor did make their situation much harder right now but things are still in their hands for most of the part.

Kasimpasa and especially Trezeguet has provided very similar performance which it has shown in the start of the season which readers that followed season from beginning would remember. Kasimpasa now has certainly  has secured its place at Super League for next season.

Trabzonspor was coming out to the game as strong favourite and it has lost it showing that team is providing poor performance with its having number of absences and now urgently needs to improve its performance for Bursaspor game next week.

This time luck didnt help Basaksehirspor against Sivasspor.

Basaksehirspor has lost two important points during Super League 32nd week game against Sivasspor due of unlucky goal which was provided due of mistake by Volkan Babacan who couldnt catch a ball. But mistake has been done before hand with Mossoro two yellow cards.

It could been argued that Basaksehirspor has been unlucky to draw game but it needs to be remembered that Istanbul side who was dominating first half during game could have scored even more goals as Sivasspor has been playing not very effective game. Without dominating game and mainly focussing into providing calm game and its relexation has led for two yellow cards of Mossoro which without dount has only provided stress towards players. Sivasspor while playing with 1 more player and also introducing Kone and Robinho to the field even through couldnt find an equaliser before 90+2' minute with a luck, did show much more attacking game and Basaksehirspor has been very reluctant. As been stated Basaksehirspor has lost its control of the game and couldnt rely too much into luck as this blog has stated that the team has won last 2 weeks with this luck. Meanwhile, Basaksehirspor player Arda Turan  reaction towards referee by pushing him was totally needless and shows again that he needs some psychological help due this behaviour.

Basaksehirspor still can become champions if it has same points with Galatasaray or with Galatasaray and Fenerbahce ending season at same points due of results between each other but it would have difficult game against Antalyaspor as it missing many key players.

Akhisarspor can provide difficult time to Galatasaray. 

Galatasaray would come out probably one of its hardest games in this last 3 games section of the league as it would be meeting with Akhisarspor where it has lost to them back in the Turkish Cup semi-final and also of away game phobia.

Without trouble all of the supporters apart of Galatasaray would be supporting Akhisarspor with actually expecting Istanbul side to lose points due of their poor away game performance. Even through there is wide expectation that Akhisarspor might come out with 2nd squad against Galatasaray and which was declined from a team, this blog things its quite opposite and side could see this game as training game prior to Turkish Cup final game against Fenerbahce. More importantly, at the Cup Akhisarspor and especially Yevhen Seleznyov has shown that it is capable to provide top game against Galatasaray. Of course, and this matter has been discussed a lot Galatasaray does have this motivational boost from win from Besiktas and also focus to the league title. But Galatasaray has come to many away games in recent past and either lost, draw and hardly won away game. So far, Galatasaray didnt show much calm game at away and with Akhisarspor even through not having great season does show good performance against big clubs and hence can provide surprise at the game.

Galatasaray would be coming as favourite without doubt but its not as straight-forward as it looks and Akhisarspor as been stated could use an opportunity to take away important 3 points from league leaders.
