What happened in Turkish football today? 20/01/2021



Galatasaray showed good reaction following last week loss to Besiktas

Galatasaray has shown very good reaction to Besiktas derby loss during last week with winning last-spot Denizlispor with 6:1 scoreline at the game where Fernando Muslera has returned to goal after very long injury.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray without doubt needed to win very important game against Denizlispor since it did lose to important game which led them to get behind for 5 points behind Besiktas and Fenerbahce and possible loss today could lead them to get even further from top spot race. However, Denizlispor does provide very poor performance right now with having lots of internal and external issues so it was suitable opponent for Galatasaray. Without doubt with finding 2 goals in 14 minutes did make things easier for Galatasaray as following minutes, apart of start of 2nd half went in full control of Galatasaray with creating numerous chances and be honest could even ended with even more goals for them. Meanwhile, it also been return for Fernando Muslera which did look like he wasnt absent due of injury for almost half of year and he does look to be coming in high energy and high level performance.

Denizlispor it needs to be noted did provide pretty poor performance especially at defence and continues to showing poor performance which led them currently to be at last spot and urgently needs to find points so it would not get problems towards end of season.

Galatasaray got very good result with finding 6 goals and has regained confidence from derby loss without doubt.

Trabzonspor continues to improve each week

Trabzonspor got very important win against Konyaspor during Super League 20th week game with 3:1 scoreline  and kept its chances for staying at the leadership race with also providing probably 1st time strong attacking game scoring 3 goals.

One of the main changes in recent weeks for Trabzonspor been to be focussing into much attacked game with trying to be creative and more faster tempo and adding fact that Trabzonspor did show it even more than Konyaspor did lead for this win even through it needs to be noted that also using this opportunities in effective manner player important role. Konyaspor on they part did also show attacking game but failed to provide too much pressure to Trabzonspor with failing to get last touches in effective manner. However, even if Trabzonspor did get good win with great game, side didnt been in celebrating as Abdulkadir Omur did become injured and will not play at least for 3 months which would affect to side with him being one of the main players in this squad.

Trabzonspor is improving as side and start showing much more important collective performance and with improving each week it would become competitive side at top.

Besiktas will be seeking to continue its great run. 

Current league leaders, who are sharing points at top with Fenerbahce, Besiktas would be coming to pretty tough game against Fatih Karagumruk as their opponents do like to show open game but still expected to get win.

Besiktas in fact does have advantage due of opponents having some absences either due of some cards which players gathered in previous games or injuries which would be providing some bonuses to Besiktas who are great form. In fact win against Galatasaray where it didnt struggle as some would be expecting for them to be, would aim to continue this momentum as they have 6 league games in last 7 games with scoring goals and not conceding. It is expected for them to continue in such manner against 
Fatih Karagumruk seeking for attacking game. As been noted, Fatih Karagumruk would be  having some absencesa but it would be focusing to show its best resistance to Besiktas but it would pretty tough challenge.

Besiktas with their performance in recent week are favourite and would be aiming to show strong confident performance against Fatih Karagumruk looking for goals.
