Galatasaray didnt provide strong attacking game against Konyaspor.
Galatasaray has lost golden opportunity to end Super League 30th week as leaders as it didnt manage to beat Konyaspor as game has ended with goalless draw as Istanbul side didnt provide any shots at the target.
Even through Galatasaray did control for most amount of the game and didnt provide some actions close to goal line, it has lacked an important creative performance during game and with Konyaspor providing strong defensive game, it has lost an important opportunity to get an upper hand at the title race without doubt. It needs to be noted meanwhile that if Galatasaray still manages to win all of the 4 games left during this season, which are against other opponents for league title it would still win title. However, it needs to be stated with performance which Galatasaray is showing especially struggling when coming to an away performance, it does provide some worries if it can provide similar performance in upcoming games. One of the worrying aspects of Galatasaray during today's game that it didnt provide much of performance of going forward and hungrily looking for a goal, with some moments looking like Galatasaray was playing for a draw which isnt acceptable taking account that Konyaspor didnt also show much difficult towards Galatasaray goal.
Looking at the game, it was obvious that Konyaspor main focus for today's game was to not concede goal rather than scoring as it has focussed heavily into defense game which it did show in good organised manner. Even through Galatasaray as been mentioned didnt provide strong creative game, Konyaspor has shown strong defence which prevented Galatasaray to feel comfortable at attack.
Galatasaray right now has lost 2 points against Konyaspor and even through winning rest of 4 games would make them champions, this loss would affect negatively to morale especially before crucial derby game against Besiktas.
Besiktas has got right into title race with win against Ankaragucu.
Despite of not providing a great performance especially during 1st half of Super League 30th week game against Ankaragucu, Besiktas has got an important win with 4:1 scoreline and currently are located 3 points behind Basaksehirspor.
As Besiktas has become closer for title race, its performance has been changed into more tactical game and more careful performance quite naturally compare to only previous game and with Ankaragucu providing more or less an open game, it had trouble to get an upper hand. However, goal from Burak Yilmaz has helped side to get leading scoreline of the game and during 2nd half of Domadoj Vida has helped side to get dominance for rest of the game. Besiktas as a team hence has shown confident performance and has got confident win and most importantly has recieved high motivation for derby game against Galatasaray taking place on 5th May which could become game which could decide who would win title at the end of the season. Meanwhile, it needs to be stated that Burak Yilmaz has once again ahoqn why he is important player for a side as he become main reason for side to find winning goal. Besiktas right now has real chances at winning league title at the end of the season as it has won 6 games back-to-back and would now need to continue this form for next 4 games.
Besiktas does come out to the last 4 games with best form but it still has disadvantage of being behind at points, but beating Galatasaray next week could also turn around this also.
