Sivasspor provided good defensive game despite losing to Villarreal
Sivasspor has lost to Villarreal with minumum scoreline of 1:0 during Europa League Group I 5th week game but did kept its opportunities for knockout stages as Maccabi Tel Aviv has drawn against Qarabag.
Sivasspor it needs to be reminded as always that it did come out to the game with low numbers of the players in its hand which did affect to performance as it did provided lower tempo of the game but it needs to be mentioned that it did lose with minumum scoreline. Sivasspor with having high number of absences mainly due of Covid19 virus which has also affected on day before of its head coach Riza Calimbay day before game. Therefore, it needs to be noted that it did come out to the game with focus of draw due of opponents strength so it was normal to provide defensive game as with having very important game which it did come as strong underdog. Therefore, even through some supporters could be expecting more attacking game such a game from Sivasspor does need to be praised and did show it is capable with showing confident defensive game which could become very important during very important game against Maccabi Tel-Aviv which it would need to win for knockout stage.
Villarreal on they part did come out with knowing that draw would be enough for them to end group at 1st spot, did provide some calmness as game been developing but due of difference betwen of both sides did show full control of the game and found winning goal.
Sivasspor did come out with some of the absences for game due mainly of Covid19 and without doubt did provide strong confidnet performance especially at defence and would come out to game against Maccabi Tel Aviv next week.
Basaksehirspor showed great performance at Champions League despite last spot.
Even through Basaksehirspor has been eliminated from Champions League after losing to RB Leipzig with 3:2 scoreline, it needs to be noted that side provided memorable performances providing difficult times at death group.
One of the main issues which been repeated in all of the games even through been repeated in its campaign, including against RB Leipzig which was showing poor performance during 1st half as it got behind opponent with 2:0 until end of 1st half not providing very good game but once again showed strong reaction to this game with finding 3 goals from Irfan Can Kahveci with great goals without doubt. It could even found 4th goal but familiar to Turkish football fans RB Leipzig player Alexandr Sorloth has found his first goal in his new club bring important win for them. It needs to be admitted that apart of away game against Manchester United, side did show very good performance and even through did end its European campaign, it did mark important spot by football fans around Europe.
Hence, Basaksehirspor did provide memorable performance and should be seeing this experence with heads up and getting crucial lessons for future.
Besiktas are coming out as strong favourites against Kasimpasa
Besiktas would be coming out without doubt to Kasimpasa game during Super League 11th week with high motivation and confidence after beating its title race rivals Basaksehirspor and Fenerbahce back-to-back.
With having some absences on its hand, Besiktas did end its two difficult games with 6 points and would be now meeting with relatively easier opponent with addition for some players being recovered from Covid19 and being to be played. Even through with their replacements showing strong games in last 2 games, did lead Sergen Yalcin not to make too much changes very likely and would be expected to show such strong performance in this game continuing with winning streak. Therefore, there would be coming out as strong favourites with taking account that Kasimpasa are going through difficult period with results and frequently changing coaches but there could be seeing this game possibly in same time as new beginning for them
Still, Besiktas are coming out as favourites and would be expected to see some strong confident attacking game against Kasimpasa.
