What happened in Turkish football today? 02/01/2021


 

Galatasaray didnt manage to pass closed defence of Antalyaspor.

Galatasaray has entered to 2021 year with goalless draw against Antalyaspor as it did had some absences at attacking side while Antalyaspor did provide highly focussed defensive game with compact game showing reaction from last week loss of 6:0.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray did come out to the game with set mind of winning game showing positive attacking game with creating high amount of opportunities but compact defence of Antalyaspor, lack of last touches and some key absences especially at the front did lead for loss of the points. With Antalyaspor continuing showing same kind of performance after Emre Kilinc red card at 51st minute, it didnt provide any change of performance of both sides. It needs to be noted that attitude of side is being right but area which could be criticised from them rightfully is not providing much creativity in the attack which could be solving Antalyaspor defence but it should be noted that even through their did show anti-football style of game it did provide strong compact football against one of the title contenders. With taking account how big clubs tend to have issues with closed defence, it would be expected result.

Antalyaspor from viewpoint could be criticised with showing anti-football but it did aim for 1 point from this game after losing last 2 games ad did get that outcome in the end against strong opponent. Its normal to be dissapointed for neutrals with such game, but with choice of tactic should be respected still.

Galatasaray being side which been looking for goal and focussing into win did certainly been side which would see it loss 2 points but its been difficult to pass such organised defence.

Besiktas will come out as favourites against Kayserispor despite absences.

Besiktas would be having its 1st game of 2021 against Kayserispor during Super League 16th week game where it would be coming as strong favourite against which does struggle so far during this season.

As it is known, even through it does get as everyone some unexpected loss of points, Besiktas are at great form focussing into getting leadership in the standings with providing some positive attacking game which it would be aiming to continue so. One of the issues for Besiktas which it would be coming out is absences of Vincent Aboubakar who has travelled home for funeral of his mother while Racchid Ghezal is being injured, however Besiktas did provide positive view during Sivasspor game without Aboubakar and does have squad and quality which could beat Kayserispor in all respect to them of course. Kayserispor meanwhile would be seeing getting good result as motivational boost against strong opponent with likely showing defensive focussed game against them.

Hence, Besiktas would be coming out as favourite but it would be needed to show some creative side in attack which it can do so during game.

Fatih Karagumruk is expected to provide some issues to Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor would senter to 2021 with pretty tough game against what would be seen as surprising side of this season Fatih Karagumruk, side which does provide fast tempo game while their opponents tend to slow it down.

Without doubt Fatih Karagumruk side which does show strong defensive game, is also being pretty effective on front with getting some important creative attacking game and showing strong counter-attacks. Even through Trabzonspor does provide mainly defensive game against its opponent, Fatih Karagumruk would have issue with showing effective counter-attacks but without doubt would be providing strong attacking game. Still, its likely for Trabzonspor to show once again defensive focussed game as it did have some serious issues when it been focussed to provide much open game against Galatasaray as it did led for them to get effective attack and lose game with 2:0. Trabzonspor doesnt concede much in general with Avci, but it doesnt score much but beating Fatih Karagumruk only with 1 goal is unlikely to be enough.

Trabzonspor hence is expected to have some tough time against positive focussed side like Fatih Karagumruk.
