What happened in Turkish football today? 22/12/2018


Kasimpasa has rightfully beat Besiktas with 4:1 scoreline.

Kasimpasa has got well-deserved win during Super League 17th week game against Besiktas with providing very attacking game and not allowing their opponents to get any upper hand as the game has been progressing.

Besiktas would be entering to mid-season break with losing to one of its direct opponents at the standings Kasimpasa with pretty humiliating scoreline of 4:1. Even through during last week game against Trabzonspor, Besiktas did provide some view of improving with its performance it has once again showed that team does have some issues in gamewise during game with Kasimpasa. It needs to be admitted however that this scoreline, for followers of the Super League, would be seen as unexpected but would not see as huge surprise with results which this season shows us. Even through Besiktas did have goal right in the start of the game, it was disallowed to hand ball and rather than providing high level performance, game has turned into Kasimpasa who has found 2 goals at 1st half which did provide loss of concentation. This break without doubt would be very crucial for Besiktas as their are many aspects which needs to be solved including transfers, recovery of players and also sorting out some issues with unhappy players as Besiktas has recieved unexpected performance.

It needs to be stated however that Kasimpasa did show some great performance up to this game and it wasnt big surprise that team was playing very attacking game and was in better form when coming to the game and their have shown that with performance. Kasimpasa right now has raised to 2nd place and has reduced point difference with Basaksehirspor to 6 points who has lost game today.

Right now as been noted, Besiktas would be focussing into solving many issues during mid-season period as it urgently needs to find reasons why its far from recent performance.

Galatasaray obviously would aim for a win but it wont be easy one for sure.

Galatasaray would be aiming to enter to the mid-season break with a win against Sivasspor as it had pretty mixed performance during 1st half of the season and had some trouble with games where it has won game, and without doubt game against Sivasspor would be similar.

Without being able to buy an attacker during summer transfer window, Galatasaray has been aimed to get least amount of the losses and still have chance for title after 1st half. With Basaksehirspor losing 2 points today, Galatasaray would aim to use this opportunity to get to the leadership closer and also of the top of the league with providing full fight for  a win. However, it needs to be admitted that Sivasspor is providing very good performance with head coach Hakan Keles and the team would be coming out with high motivation and confidence and belief that it can get a win against Istanbul side. What is more interesting that chances for Sivasspor are even seen less than Galatasaray, it still are very high and would not be seen as huge surprise. Therefore, Sivasspor would provide difficult time for Galatasaray and Istanbul side therefore would need to be careful during this game and get strong support from its fans at home game during this game.

Galatasaray would be aiming to get a win against Sivasspor and enter to mid-season but so would be opponents without doubt so it wont be easy game at all for them.

Trabzonspor does come out as strong favourites against Rizespor but their opponents does have extra motivation for the game. 

Trabzonspor would be ending 1st half of the season with Black Sea derby against last-placed
Rizespor as side would be aiming to provide its high-level performance which their are showing right now and keep its motivation and confidence up-high.

Without doubt one of the in-form sides at the league during last weeks has been Trabzonspor as it playing games with high tempo and creating good chances and also finding very important goals from players such as Hugo Rodallega. Even to some extend Trabzonspor has improved its performance with Burak Yilmaz and Onur Kivrak has been taken out of the squad. Trabzonspor would be coming out as strong favourites but its need to be remembered that Rizespor even being at last place at the table has provided an additional motivation and performance during strong sides and would certainly be aiming to do similar performance at the game against Trabzonspor. Also remembering that due of old some misunderstanding at the area and also being to some extend derby game, could provide extra motivation so Trabzonspor needs to take this game pretty concentrated as their all of their games for certain. It is promised to be an exciting game even if both sides seems to be at different ends.

As been stated, Trabzonspor would be aiming to show similar performance as their did in recent results so even through it would be hard game for sure, their are coming out as strong favourites for game.
