What happened in Turkish football today? 13/03/2021

 


Galatasaray got crucial win which keeps them at title race.

Galatasaray has got pretty confident win against Kayserispor during Super League 30th week game against Kayserispor which is also very important win both for self-confidence after losing 5 points during previous games and keep themselves at top spot race.

When looking at the game as whole especially during 1st half, its hard to state that side did provide full dominance of the game but its been expected to some extend due of losing 5 points during previous game and also internal issue with Younes Belhanda did effect to the side mood but one thing was certain that whenever side did attack it was looking for win and it did come out for win in all focus. With Kayserispor on their part, even through did provide its best performance it could, due of condition which side themselves and quality difference did get some good opportunities but did lack with providing final touches. Therefore, to some extend this game did provide positive view in sense of attacking but did show that side does have issues at defence which would be providing issues to side in upcoming weeks. Meanwhile, its been important for Galatasaray players Radamel Falcao and Henry Onyekuru to find goals at the game for players self-confidence.

As been noted Kayserispor especially prior to conceding 2nd goal did provide some very good opportunities but did lack to convert them due of lack of last touches which if it did provide it game could easily end differently for them.

Galatasaray did come to game with right attitude despite of issues inside team and even through didnt provide perfect game, it still got crucial result for confidence and staying on race. 

Besiktas got important win for league title but it cant relax

Besiktas has passed very important barrier with beating Basaksehirspor during Super League 30th week game at goal duello with 3:2 scoreline as their opponents did provide strong effort to get at least point against leaders.

Besiktas interestingly does have some issue with finding openning goal as it did scored openner of game at 42nd minute but once it does find goal, it does provide much more effective performance in attack even if it does get ahead. Stating that only negative aspect of Besiktas during this game is to provide too much defensive game with getting behind during game after it was conceded as period when Besiktas scored and then conceded, Basaksehirspor did provide strong attacking game and hence did find equaliser twice during this game. In fact, it was interesting that Basaksehirspor did exactly same thing as after equalising Besiktas been side which showed attacking game. It needs to be noted that Galatasaray is being side which does show strongest game at Super League, but Basaksehirspor did show that this side could be beatable if strong effort will be taking. Right now there is view that Besiktas is being very close for title, but it needs to be remembered that Galatasaray did lose 5 points during 2 weeks, and until end of the season there are still 12 games.

Besiktas would now enter to very crucial week where it would be meeting with Basaksehirspor at Turkish Cup semi-final and after that derby game against Fenerbahce, two games which provide lots of image for rest of the season for Besiktas.

Fenerbahce has 3 crucial reasons to get win against Genclerbirligi

Fenerbahce would be coming to Genclerbirligi during Super League 30th week which it would be focussing to get win both to stay at race for top spot, win game at home ground and also get morale prior to Besiktas with Genclerbirligi is having struggling season.

In all respect to Genclerbirligi, which is historically one of the sides which been used to be seen at top league, it does have pretty struggling season and this would be advantage for Fenerbahce to play such game in such crucial period. Fenerbahce however does look to be having main opponent which itself, usually we tend to mention about away syndrome which usually been main reason to lose title, but with Fenerbahce does have pretty, which possibly came from Covid-times, home symptome. Still, if Fenerbahce would be focussed to get result in the end of the day without doubt. Genclerbirligi on their part could be seeing chance for Fenerbahce  at home ground which side possibly give fight for draw.

Fenerbahce without doubt would be coming to very important game with many factors and it would be providing performance according to that without doubt.
