Stronger attack played role for Galatasaray.
Galatasaray has got confident win against Trabzonspor with 2:0 scoreline as been expected from this blog to some extend as levels of attackers of both sides is being different and even through Trabzonspor is being focussed into defensive game, its performance wasnt as good as shown.
In all fairness, it could be noted that both sides did provide pretty forward seeking game but as been noted even with expectations of Radamel Falcao and Mbiaye Diagne, Galatasaray does have stronger players up front who are able to convert opportunities as been seen from performances both from Arda Turan and Ogulcan Caglayan who among scoring 2 goals did provide strong effective performance for 90 minutes at front. Especially, Caglayan did manage to show very good game even looking better then Diagne and Falcao, living trust to supporters. Even through Trabzonspor didnt score, Galatasaray did allow for oppononent to have some opportunities which does provide look that team might focus more into defence for upcoming games.
Galatasaray got very important win and would be entering to 2021 with leadership in this interesting season which does look to be having many twists.
Trabzonspor showed all its weaknesses during this game.
Trabzonspor with playing strong opponent, potential opponent for title race, and its arch rivals decided to be responding to game with providing much more balanced game of defence and attack, and made clear its issues at defence.
Not very strong attacking squad at Trabzonspor has been clear since start of the season with no player being close to replace Alexandr Sorloth, and it became clear during this game where Trabzonspor did get number of good opportunities but didnt manage to convert them with mentally giving up game after 2:0 scoreline even if it did create some opportunities during that moments. With not giving as much focus into defence as it did in previous games, did also have direct impact with Galatasaray getting some important opportunities with scoring great 2 goals. Its true that Trabzonspor as side is currently improving but its not on level still to compete with top clubs or positive playing sides in this upcoming games. It does look like it would need to get some attackers during mid-season transfer window to become more competitive side.
This view does show that it would be struggling during this season with getting wins in teams which are at best their level right now.
Besiktas will need to be creative against Sivasspor defence.
Besiktas would be playing against Sivasspor during Super League 15th week games among two of the last games of this season in evening session, with Besiktas will be coming as strong favourites when comparing recent performance and level of squad.
Besiktas are one of the sides which are at form with being slightly behind from leaders as it took some time to open up but right now it does attempt to provide strong tempo game focussing into winning and control game, even through it does struggle against opponents which does close on defence which Sivasspor would be expected to do as its being tactics stronger opponents. With this taking account, Vincent Aboubakar not being on squad due of family issues would be having some negative impact into the game but players who would be on attack would be expected to show top game with certainly Rachid Ghezzal crosses expect to be playing key role again. Sivasspor on their part would be expected to show defensive game and use opportunities with counter-attacks which seems to be good tactic against opponent.
Besiktas are coming as favourites but it would need to be showing strong effective and creativity at front to get result.
