What happened in Turkish football today? 04/02/2020


Trabzonspor has got huge advantage result against Erzurumspor.

Trabzonspor carries on providing its high level performance at the Turkish Cup as it managed to beat Erzurumspor with 5:0 scoreline during quarter-final 1st leg game and got confident advantage for semi-final stage.

It has been expected for Trabzonspor to be coming as strong favourite against Erzurumspor taking account how it has performed during league in recent weeks which hense has provided direct impact for its campaign in Turkish Cup. It needs also to be noted that Alexandr Sorloth who is currently being top scorer at Super League did also score 2 goals in today's game showing for sure that he has no intention at all to slow down with his forward performance. With main title contenders still being at Turkish Cup, there is possibilkity which been noted beforehand there is possibly for double to take place despite of early days, and Trabzonspor without doubt being one of the main candidates.
Without doubt Erzurumspor showing good performance in recent weeks at below league and eliminating Besiktas in previous round did lead them to provide some resistance, but with strong attacking game from Trabzonspor couldnt show much of it.

As been noted, Erzurumspor couldnt provide any reaction following strong performance of Trabzonspor couldnt show any resistance and this game could provide view how much is ready for top league which it fights for in lower division right now. Erzurumspor would now focus to show at least good performance in 2nd leg.

Trabzonspor hence has got an advantage scoreline following quarter-final 1st leg game and would come out for 2nd leg for formality for more or less.

Both Alanyaspor and Galatasaray will likely to show controllable game.

Without doubt one of the most exciting and awaited games during Turkish Cup quarter-final stage would be between Alanyaspor and Galatasaray as both sides are showing very good performance both in league and cup in 2020.

With both sides so far providing strong winning performance in recent games and being teams which are currently at title race, it would be game where both sides would be providing its best performance aiming to carry on this run and keep its confidence into high. Meanwhile,this game without doubt would be also strongest test for Galatasaray which went through some tactical changes following mid-season break and would be able to show if its can provide strong performance against side which could also be seen at good form. It would be highly expected that Alanyaspor would be providing some strong and positive football not giving easily into the opponent. With this being 1st leg and hence both sides very likely be focussing into providing mainly controllable game it could also led for some interesting game and unlikely to make clear win and would be focussed more into not conceding from both sides.

This tie would be between 2 sides which are showing strong performance especially in 2020 and would be too close to be called in this stage.

Kirklarispor will be showing strong focussed game against Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce would be returning to its Turkish Cup campaign as it would be meeting with most surprising side of this season competition, 3rd division side Kirklarispor which did manage to get through Basaksehirspor in previous stage.

It is pretty clear to state Fenerbahce as clear opponent and not having too much issues in duration of the game but it needs not to take its opponent too lightly as it is quarter-final. It needs to be noted that Kiklarispor as club and supporters, in fact whole city, seems to be excited to be having Fenerbahce as it would be playing likely most important opponent in its history. Players might see this game also good opportunity to show their skills and level to whole Turkey, which could lead them to provide even more higher performance with some additional motivation and confidence. Fenerbahce will be expected to be playing with 2nd squad in this game but with being at form, its key for not getting unexpected surprise is to play their own game and be confident.

Fenerbahce hence are strong favourites but Kirklarispor for sure will play their best game against opponents.
