Basaksehirspor would need to show confident game against Sporting Lisbon.
Basaksehirspor with being only Turkish side to be competing at European competitions playoffs, would be playing against Portuguese giant club Sporting Lisbon during Europa League 2nd round 1st leg game,with aiming to get good scoreline from away game.
Looking from historical aspect and experience of both clubs it could be stated that Sporting Lisbon would be coming out as strong favourites in this tie, but Basaksehirspor as side has shown very good improvement in recent years and to all respect to Abdullah Avci, with appointment of Okan Buruk has managed to provide much more stronger and confident performance which is been seen both in league and especially at Europa League. With taking account that Sporting Lisbon as side is not as strong as it was only few years ago, it does look like Basaksehirspor can at least provide some strong and confident fighting performance against opponents. Stating that it would be playing in difficult conditions, as away game could be pretty tough for them and Sporting does have strong support base so it would be more smart to get some result which would provide some hope for 2nd leg rather then aiming for confident win, regardless how good result that would be.
Basaksehirspor are expected to have time against Sporting Lisbon but it would be aiming to get some good result against them but it needs to be brave for sure.
Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc made public statement focussing into TFF and referees.
Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc has made crucial press conference today regarding of some referee decisions during this season, and did provide some direct criticism towards TFF CEO Nihat Ozdemir stating that he doesnt have full trust to him.
His announcement has been focussed as been noted to referee decisions during this season reminding of the notes which included rule mistakes which took place in some games especially 1st half of season Alanyaspor game, referee appointments following their games and some general decisions. This once again shows into issues which both organisations have against each other with Ali Koc making clear that he is dissapointed with Nihat Ozdemir performance and attitude towards club taking account that he was administrator for them in previous reigns and does provide some signs that some tensions would be taking place between sides in upcoming weeks since of this high tensions between sides. It would be interesting what kind of stance would both TFF, especially Nihat Ozdemir and Central Referee Committe would be taking in upcoming period and how would Fenerbahce respond if their would be some raise of tensions again.
This statements has been pretty direct and does call for solutions to be made from TFF if it wants to have good connection with them, similar statements were done by other clubs also in recent period.
Trabzonspor player Sturridge and Nwakaeme might not be ready for Besiktas game.
Trabzonspor player Hajid Mosseini will not be able to play for 2-3 weeks due of injury which he got during training session which he has got during training session which means he would not be able to start against Besiktas
It needs to be also noted that condition both of Daniel Sturridge and Nwakaeme is being questionable due of their ongoing injury but it is reported that club doctors of both players are trying to make sure that both players would recover from injury as both players without doubt are being crucial for this side but in same time it would be logical to keep those players as this game by itself is not enough to get league title even through their being able to play would provide additional help for them without doubt for upcoming games. Time would show if doctors would be able to get needed recovery for both players in this condition for this game, or otherwise it would need to look for other alternatives which even through does exist, wont be able to provide high level performance which would been expected both from Sturridge and Nwakaeme, while Mosseini who is not being regular starter in league games in either way would not be big absent even through he unavailability would mean that he would not be providing good alternative in this period.
Time would show if those players will be able to start against Besiktas but for sure Huseyin Cimsir would be presenting best 11 squad against Trabzonspor.
