What happened in Turkish football today? 11/08/2021


 

Galatasaray would need to show agressive attacking game against St.Johnstone.

Galatasaray would be coming out to Europa League 3rd qualifying round 2nd leg away game against Scottish cup winners St.Johnstone with 1:1 scoreline from 1st leg but still being as strong favourites.

Despite of scoreline of 1st leg and also scenario in which it conceded penalty goal from opponent, it could be stated that Galatasaray are being confident favourites however it does need to provide much more attacking game with high level of creativity game if it wants to show its dominance on the field and also without doubt provide much more organised defensive game for sure. St.Johnstone is aware of strength of its opponent and would provide defensive game as it did during 1st leg and it would be key to find solutions for this during game.

Galatasaray would need to provide strong attacking game hence to get scoreline which it seeks for during 2nd leg.

Trabzonspor priority would be better defensive game.

Trabzonspor would be coming out to 2nd leg against Molde with providing game which does provide some strong hope when looking how it performed in attacks but been pretty poor in defence.

When taking account that Abdullah Avci is being coach which tends to focus into defence game it was surprising to see side to provide such simple game in the back. Taking account that Trabzonspor doesnt look to be having some serious issue at defensive game, it would need to provide much more good defensive game which without doubt Avci would be focussing to and try to describe to his players. This without doubt being issue as it was observed since Molde defense is only being bit more weaker compare to Trabzonspor.

Hence, Trabzonspor would need to provide better balance between defence and attacking game if it wants to get to play-off round.

Sivasspor are being most confident for 2nd leg among Turkish clubs.

Sivasspor which did win 1st leg with 2:1 against Dinamo Batumi does come out to the game with much more confident condition to the 2nd leg of the tie but still needs to be careful as Batumi is open to surprise.

Sivasspor continues to be providing most pleasant performance at Europe from Turkish club in recent years and would be focussing to be doing so during 2nd leg but it needs to be mentioned that it is small advantage which side has and hence it would need to be staying with full attention preventing Dinamo Batumi to get upper hand with performance especially during early minutes of game. Still, when looking on paper Sivasspor does have better squad and are being favourites for this tie.

Sivasspor does come out as been noted as most comfortable but still needs to be focussed for its game against Dinamo Batumi.
