Besiktas has got an important and difficult win against Yeni Malatyaspor
Besiktas has got an important win during Super League 22nd week against Yeni Malatyaspor with 2:1 scoreline, which turned out to be highly competitive game as both sides has provided high focus and effort to win game including Yeni Malatyaspor which has played 2nd half with 10 men.
It needs to be noted that Besiktas has started game at high tempo with creating high amount of chances and dominance from 1st minutes showing that their aiming to win game prior to Fenerbahce game and also raise point difference to 4 with their today's opponents. However, as game has progressed Yeni Malatyaspor has managed to make game in more balanced manner, even through Besiktas has continued to be closer for goal in some moments of the game. However, red card recieved from Adem Buyuk at the end of the 1st half has provided Besiktas to provide much more attacking game which did lead them to find 2 goals, but it needs to be stated that both Yeni Malatyaspor goalkeeper and whole team didnt allow Besiktas to get a win in a easy manner. In fact, it is hard to say for sure with how this game has been developed if game has continued with 11-on-11. Still, Besiktas has got an important win and only downside is Adem Ljajic yellow card following his goal which means he wold miss next week derby game against Fenerbahce.
Meanwhile, Yeni Malatyaspor has shown pretty impressive game against Besiktas both when their side has been 11-on-11 and missing one player as Omer Sismanoglu goal has come from counter-attack. It is true that Besiktas has created more dangerous chances but Yeni Malatyaspor has shown good organised game and made their opponents have difficult win.
Besiktas has got an important 3 points and has won 3 games back to back and would now focus to Fenerbahce game with aiming to carry on this high performance.
Benfica has been better side of the game.
With losing to Benfica during Europa League 2nd round 1st leg game with 2:1 scoreline, Galatasaray has provided an advantage of the tie to their opponents and didnt manage a great game even through there was highly suspecious penalty kick given to Istanbul side.
Their is big questions if Marcao has actually touched with hand or was it his chest from shot provided from Benfica goal and very likely decision would been cancelled if it was looked once again from VAR. However, it needs to be noted that even through Galatasaray did show in some parts good game, Benfica has been one who has controlled game and that taking account that it didnt come out with best squad and had high amount of academy players at squad. Right now, Galatasaray needs to at least win game with 2 goals without conceding goal to get to the last 16 stage and taking account atmosphere at Stadio de Luz it will not be an easy aim as Benfica does play good football at its home ground without doubt. It is important for Galatasaray for sure to aim to solve issues which was shown yesterday at defence but it wont be an easy task in such short notice. Benfica did come out to this tie as favourite and now their got chances much higher to get to the last 16 with such performance.
2:1 scoreline as a result still could be turned around even with those circumstances, but taking account differences between sides it would be difficult task but Galatasaray needs to figure out how it can turn around this tie.
Fenerbahce would aim to keep its high motivation alive with game against Konyaspor.
With getting high amount of advantage over Zenit during Europa League 2nd round 1st leg and being closer to the last 16 stage, it would be coming back to the league game with high motivation as it would be playing against Konyaspor.
It needs to be stated that despite of poor Super League season, it still showing good performance at the Europa League and hence it is still unclear if it would provide similar performance mentally against Konyaspor, but it needs to do that or even more as their are still at scare of relegation from the league and hence needs to show good performance back-to-back with also getting good results. It needs also to be noted that Konyaspor also coming out with good recent performance and mood so it wont be an easy game for Fenerbahce. Still, Fenerbahce in all circumstances would come out as favourite as it would aim to keep its winning spirit and confidence arrive prior to 2nd leg game against Zenit and also keep its winning mood intact with seeing Kayserispor loss as out of chance, of new Fenerbahce which aims to show at 2019. As always, it is also expected for team to get strong support from fans during game.
Fenerbahce did regain some motivation from Zenit game and now it would need to keep it alive for future sake of both competitions with a win against Konyaspor.
