What happened in Turkish football today? 17/01/2021


 

Besiktas got very important win against Galatasaray

Besiktas continues showing good result against its main potential title race rivals as this time it has managed to beat Galatasaray with 2:0 scoreline and controlling whole game from start to an end.

Even through it could be argued that Besiktas didnt provide strong attacking game with high amount of goal opportunitites but still being one who has controlled ball and pushed into defensive side of the opponent. Only issue which could be noted in Besiktas perspective that it start showing much more attacking game after opponent did get red card which once again does show it struggle to get through organised and compact defensive side. Saying that, Besiktas did look to be more focussed for win especially with getting very good opportunity with Cyle Larin during 1st half which he didnt convert in pretty unexpected manner which been happened due of being unlucky with condition of field which bounced ball on last moment. One of the important factors from Besiktas perspective been for Josef De Souza finding his 1st goal for his club which do some extend provided needed win for side. Therefore, Besiktas didnt show perfect but still been better side both mentally and physically.

Galatasaray does continue unstable performance during recent games and been looked to be more passive then expected even before Mbiaye Diagne got his red card with shot from Marcao been possibly only dangerous opportunities. But it needs to be noted that before conceding its 1st goal Galatasaray did show good performance including Cristian Luyindama showing some good confident performance however in same time he turned out to be player with crucial role in the 2nd half which were not expected from such player and possibly its been made with losing concentration which would not be accepted in such important game. In total, even through Galatasaray did show some lack of attacking game it did show some good defensive signs when playering 11-on-11 but it needs to admit that this strong performance which is used to be seen from this side is being pretty far and didnt provide much pressure to opponents.

Besiktas continues its leadership in the league with this win with getting good win without conceding and keeps its motivation on high note for upcoming games being side to be beaten. 

Trabzonspor did show good willingness but failed to find goals.

Trabzonspor has shown full control of the game against Antalyaspor as it played with extra player for most amount of the time but did lose 2 points since it couldnt raise high tempo as it found winning goal at last minute of the game.

Trabzonspor players need to be mentioned did come to the game with focus to win game and hence its been seen from players attitude but somehow their did look like having trouble to raise tempo which could be enough to get through strong Antalyaspor defence but their opponents did look to be better physical condition even through they did play 2 more games in duration of last week since Trabzonspor did have break and didnt play at Turkish Cup. But Antalyaspor on their part start focussing into more defensive performance against big opponents focussing more into point/s without providing too much attacking game to which side whose attacking game only start being slightly effecitve did struggle to overpass in such game which does show their would need to get higher tempo and creativity in the attack for upcoming game.

Willing of Trabzonspor has been positive without doubt but their would need to raise tempo for upcoming weeks if they want to get confident win in upcoming weeks.

Fenerbahce do come out as strong favourites against Ankaragucu. 

Fenerbahce would be getting back to Super League with opportunity to get leadership in the league as it would be playing against Ankaragucu which even through is still struggling to some extend does show some improvement with recent weeks.

Fenerbahce on other side is being team with very good performance and confidence as it did in recent 5 weeks and taking account of form and performance of Ankaragucu would be likely focussing into attacking game level showing forward seeking which could lead them to dominate game. This is highly expected due of factor that Fenerbahce in recent weeks which could be seen right tactic does provide game which is suitable to opponent with showing much more into to win game regardless what would be scoreline. Ankaragucu surely would be focussing to show some compact defence against such opponent aiming for at least one point but it would be hard as there were likely to see highly motivated opponent.

Fenerbahce are coming out as favourites and would be showing performance according to that.
