What happened in Turkish football today? 10/04/2021


 

Galatasaray doesnt perform like side which wants title. 

Galatasaray didnt use its opportunity to get into 2nd spot as it did drawn with Fatih Karagumruk with scoreline 1:1 which doesnt even show enough performance for title but also does put into danger Champions League spot.

What is more worrying with this outcome has become not only Galatasaray showing poor outcome in last 6 games but even more showing poor game which does get even worser by each week which is unsuitable outcome both for side which fights for title in the last weeks and also for Galatasaray which always ended season at high note regardless of their performance of overall season. Galatasaray does fair to dominate game which should not only be due of Fatih Terim not being on side as this been present before his ban. It needs to be noted in same time that referee decision of cancelling penalty and red card has been right decision and in fact has been best way VAR been used in Turkey since its introduction to league. Another point Fatih Karagumruk been side which did lose 2 points as it controlled ball much more with creating high number of the opportunities without being able to pass Muslera.

Fatih Karagumruk which been one of the main surprising side in this league this season did provide very strong confident positive performance and without doubt been side which did lose 2 points when looking how sides performed.

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are doing their best for Besiktas to win title and to achieve them. It does look like both sides would fight now for 2nd spot.

Trabzonspor continues its draw streak and loses important points.

Trabzonspor continues with losing points for 4 weeks as it drawn this time against Rizespor during Super League 34th week and did lose opportunity to get closer to top 3 clubs even through they are also losing points.

Trabzonspor it needs to be noted did provide better performance on the start of the game with creating few opportunities but still didnt provide enough pressure on Rizespor which tends to be issue on recent games apart possibly Kayserispor game. Therefore, even through it does get upper hand it does fail to provide enough pressure to opponent goal which is connected both to good defence of opponent but lack of strong confidence to go front to some extend. Whats been surprising on their part also that rather rising tempo during 2nd half focussed more into goal to raise opportunity to get at least Champions League spot  but quite opposite did reduce tempo and let Rizespor to get some opportunities. This could be connected for side morale and physical tiredness. Side needs to focus more into focus into winning games if it want to see European football next season.

Rizespor on their part did provide some good defensive game with looking few opportunities in start of 2nd half and to some extend continues to show some good performance and does give signs of ending season at high note.

Trabzonspor had 4th draw which on one side it doesnt lose which is good but on other side it doesnt win. With losing 2 points each week could lead them in spot which their didnt aim for.

Besiktas needs to show strong attacking game against Erzurumspor.

Besiktas will be playing against struggling Erzurumspor during Super League 34th week where without doubt it would be seeking to get one step closer to title as it has 5 point advantage over Fenerbahce and 6 points from Galatasaray.

Even through it would be too early to name Besiktas as title winners yet with 9 games left for Besiktas until end of the season, with looking how they perform and their main candidates with contuning to be losing points, they do have very good advantage with both this outcomes. With losing 5 points to Fenerbahce and Kasimpasa, Besiktas did get good motivational and confidence boost once again prior to Erzurumspor. Stating that, it does look that biggest threats among from direct opponents good be coming from sides which are needing points to stay in the league and would provide extra defensive game. Therefore, it would be expected for Erzurumspor which in such position to provide defensive focussed game so Besiktas would need to focus into attacking alternatives to get win for getting closer to title.

Besiktas as been noted are favourites but needs to show top level games as sides which aim to stay at league could be most unpredictable.
