What happened in Turkish football today? 05/02/2021



 Trabzonspor continues showing top level game in this period.

Trabzonspor continues getting important win against struggling Denizlispor thanks to debut goal to club from Anastios Bakasetas, as club did provide signs of tiredness in this game due of playing back-to-back crucial and difficult games.

Even through performance of Trabzonspor were not in same level as it was on previous recent games, it needs to be remembered that it did play tough Super Cup game against Basaksehirspor and later against Besiktas, therefore it would be unreasonable to see this as decline of performance. Even if Trabzonspor didnt show great game, and opponent are not having great days, it still could be noted that players did provide high focus with showing that their aim to keep at race for top spot with keeping 9 point difference with Fenerbahce. It needs to be noted that whole side aim for at least now is not to reduce point difference with top spot with showing some strong organised game with Bakasetas making it clear that he would playing very important role to achieve this for sure.

Therefore, Trabzonspor showing strong game in this period which it does show with getting good result and does provide signs that it would be fighting for title in upcoming weeks.

Fenerbahce is under less pressure but would certainly give it best for getting win at home.

As would been expected whole focus right now in Turkish football community has been given into derbies of two continents, also know derby of derbies, between league leaders Fenerbahce and 2nd spot Galatasaray.

With Fenerbahce having 3-point advantage over Galatasaray,it could be noted that side would be having slightly less pressure as without doubt having 6-point difference is more dangerous situation at top position race while being at same point even through this is being important. Fenerbahce is known to be dominating at its home ground for years, even if it did lose last season but without supporters it is questionable if home ground could be seen as very big advantage for both sides, even through Fenerbahce would be aiming to create some atmosphere. It does look meanwhile that Luis Gustavo will not be ready for this game due of injury getting against Hatayspor as Jose Sosa is expected to be filling his spot. Meanwhile, it is reported that Fenerbahce coach Erol Bulut would be considering to introduce Mesut Ozil during 2nd half of the game.

Even through Galatasaray did lose for 4 games, it could be noted that Fenerbahce does have better form due of recent weeks even through in derbies this factor doesnt play much role.

Galatasaray will be coming to game with high confidence.

Even through this would not be seen as advantage, but Galatasaray did get from pressure for not winning at Fenerbahce stadium by winning its last game which would provide them more confidence, but still doesnt change in sense of getting result.

Galatasaray despite of not having same form as opponent as been mentioned above, it needs to be noted that side did provide strong reaction after losing to Besiktas 5 weeks ago with winning 4 games with improving its level of performance in recent weeks. Therefore, it could be noted that side mentally could be feeling pretty confident manner without getting too much pressure from Fenerbahce supporters also during game. It needs to be noted that full focus will be given without doubt to Henry Onyekuru on them as he did find 2 goals in previous game as he did return he did become straight away leading player while Ryan Donk could also become crucial player during game as he did against Basaksehirspor. It could be expected for side meanwhile to sure high level attacking game with looking for opportunities.

Galatasaray hence doesnt have any signifacant prior to game compare to opponent, but doesnt have high level pressure factors when coming to game.
