What happened in Turkish football today? 17/10/2020


 

Basaksehirspor got its first win this season against Trabzonspor

Title holders Basaksehirspor has got its 1st win and naturally 1st goals during this season as it has won main game of Super League 5th week game against Trabzonspor as it provided quite certainly closest game which brought title last season.

It should be noted that from Trabzonspor perspective it did provided slighly better start of the game looking to be side with creating some opportunities and pushing some pressure into opponent goals but it hard to note that there were pretty effective. It could be stated that when conceding goal from Irfan Can Kahveci it still continued to control game but without doubt one of the main issues for Trabzonspor that it didnt reach into tempo of the game which would provide effective touches to find that goal. In fact, factor of not finding fast player like Alexandr Sorloth has become visible in this game without doubt as even through it does have pretty good attackers it doesnt have player which could provided sprint in the front. Therefore, it could be noted that it could be noted that Trabzonspor did provide some willingness to win game until goal which it conceded from Visca but after thar Trabzonspor motivation has been pretty reduced and even if it did go ahead it could be noted that it did mentally gave up towards end.

Basaksehirspor on other hand did get its first win and without doubt got its important win and hence confidence for game against RB Leipzig at Champions League. It needless to note that Leipzig game would be difficult one for Basaksehirspor but at least it not be under stress of not scoring and winning.

Trabzonspor still behind into level which been affected for them especially not having high level of tempo so it need to work on that while opponent got important confidence boost on very important stage.

Fenerbahce is expected to get step closer for its ideal tactical game against Goztepe.

Fenerbahce are going to be back to Super League as it going to meet with Goztepe aiming to provide strong positive attacking game as this side does have higher expectations due of high number of transfers.

Even through Fenerbahce didnt start season in perfect manner, it is still seen as main candidate for title spot due of quality squad it has and been argued that it didnt provide performance which been expected from them due of side still adapting and head coach Erol Bulut still looking for perfect use of this squad. Still, with this 2 weeks national team break, Erol Bulut did have opportunity to have better idea how to use players in disposal and even through he still might not find perfect 11, this game against Goztepe could provide idea how side would be played in this season both with starting 11 and tactically. Meanwhile, Goztepe which does have aims always for Europa League spots and is being extra motivated against strong sides expects to provide good game against Fenerbahce for sure.

Due of its squad and aims Fenerbahce are favourite for this game but as would be expected it would be difficult game for them.

Hatayspor and Erzurumspor game been postponed due of Covid19

Super League 5th week game between Hatayspor and Erzurumspor has become 1st game to be postponed due of Covid19 in top league as 19 people at Hatayspor became infected.

In total of 17 players and in addition of its head coach Omer Erdogan and unnamed staff member has become infected as it is suspected that reasons of this is being for some players attending to international while some players were allowed to spend some time out of training session which raised number of cases. This incident has been first major among top league clubs, even through Antalyaspor situation prior to Besiktas does still raise some questions. For now, official statement states that game is been postponed to future date which it would announce in upcoming season but as we saw before there were times around Europe when side which been infected were given technical loss so we see how this story would be develop.

For now, we provide fast recovery for Hatayspor club and hope it would be able to come into next week game without much issues
