What happened in Turkish football today? 05/04/2021



 Fenerbahce got important psychological win despite of not showing great game.

Fenerbahce got its 1st win with Emre Belozoglu during Super League 32nd week against last-spot Denizlispor and with opponents above losing this week, it has passed Galatasaray and got closer to Besiktas.

Despite of the win, it needs to be noted that Fenerbahce didnt provide very good performance against Denizlispor with showing pretty slow tempo game without rising tempo which would been expected from them. However, in the week where sides above them did lose points, they must get win to find themselves at the league title and also get into Champions League spot. It also needs to be aware that this is being 1st game with Emre Belozoglu, followed with international break so it would be unfair to expect drastic changes by the team but this game showed that still many things needs to be worked on if it wants to win title especially with inexperienced coach. Still it was important to win game at home ground which tends to be issue during this season if it was against side which is been on last spot. This win would provide some motivation and confidence for side.

When looking from Denizlispor perspective, when looking with how side did perform in recent weeks it could be noted that it wasnt very bad game but issue here is if its maximum it can afford staying in the league would be difficult for them but of course it will not give up easily.

Fenerbahce got important win with its 1st game with Emre Belozoglu in the week with both direct opponents lost game and hence got itself for title race. Now its important for them to build on this positive gained this week.  

Besiktas got unexpected loss from Kasimpasa.

Besiktas has provided one of the most, possible even the most, ineffective performances during this season as it lost with 1:0 scoreline to Kasimpasa and didnt only score goal but only had one key goal opportunity with Cyle Larin.

It is true that absences which club had prior to game did affect negatively to side and it was expected from them to have tough game but it needs to be remembered that Besiktas did win games and showed good game with high number of absences in this season. Without doubt, especially taking account that 10 games left for them, Besiktas only lost its point difference at the top but still are in the leadership, but losing 4 points in previous 2 games would provide some worrying image with showing some decline with its performance. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that referee of the game which been discussed for long time prior to kick-off didnt have impact however as would be expected in case of losing Besiktas administration might find something to criticise. In this game, its been not giving 2nd yellow card to Aytac Kara and even through it is valuable argument Besiktas should look at itself rather then referee.

Besiktas still are closest for title in the end of the season but this loss did provide excitement at title race for sure. Now for them it would be important to show strong reaction.

Trabzonspor would be aiming to get into winning spirit against Kayserispor.

Trabzonspor would be resuming its Super League with 33rd week game against Kayserispor where it is expected to be coming out as favourite but with being decline of performance and playing against opponent which are in good form would provide them difficult moment.

With getting further from title race, even through Besiktas loss could provide them some hope again, did affect to focus of the side during this weeks and it would be important for Abdullah Avci to regain this winning spirit in the side without doubt. Kayserispor could be another opportunity to start this positive attitude which could come with results, as it does still have opportunity at least to aim for top 3 spots. Therefore it would be curious to see how side would perform and response in this game without doubt. Kayserispor on they part would be focussed to continue its good recent performance without doubt with strong belief it could get good result.

Trabzonspor recent results does provide worried image and it needs to regain winning spirit which it could start in this game.
