Fenerbahce got win during tough game against Adana Demirspor

Fenerbahce has started season with 1:0 scoreline against Adana Demirspor thanks to 1st goal from Mesut Ozil in this club at the game which been played at high tempo despite of hot and humid weather.

Without doubt Adana Demirspor and Fenerbahce game has been among of the most anticipated games in this Super League and it did fulfill expectations as both sides did provide strong attacking game even through it could be mentioned that Adana Demirspor did have more dangerous attacks which been saved from Altay Bayindir and to some extend Fenerbahce when looking in overall didnt get entirely upper hand of the game but still managed to be focussed and concentrated to defence with Fenerbahce defenders and goal keepers did show strong defensive game. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that Vitor Pereira didnt provide ideal starting 11 for this game but he did recognise those problems and with changes which he done in half-time has led for game to be turned around as Fenerbahce did turn around game.

Adana Demirspor it needs to be noted did provide strong performance with getting high number of opportunities and not showing any signs of fear and defence game against Fenerbahce and did provide some good signs for upcoming games. Mario Ballotelli did show also willing game with good shots and does show he would give high concentration to games.

It could be noted that Fenerbahce didnt provided ideal strong game but did show good organised game and eventually got good win in openning week against tough opponent.

Galatasaray will start new season with promoted Giresunspor.

Galatasaray will be coming out to they 1st league game in this season as there would be playing against promoted side Giresunspor as many in its squad would be playing 1st game in this league in they career.

With reducing average age of the side quite significantly during this summer transfer window and getting players with high potential for future, it would be especially interesting to see how players and as team collectively would be providing game against Giresunspor. It needs to be noted that following 4 games at Europe there has been some improvement with performance even through it would not be right to compare St.Johnstone with PSV but at least it did gain motivation and confidence significantly. Meanwhile, it would be expected for Giresunspor to provide some pressure as it would be focussing into providing some optimistic view on their first league game.

Galatasaray would be coming as strong favourites but Giresunspor might provide some surprises from themselves.

Trabzonspor are favourites against Yeni Malatyaspor.

Trabzonspor would be starting its new season with Yeni Malatyaspor, as both sides did have dissapoing previous season and would be focussing to improve performance in this season.

Trabzonspor both when looking at transfers and training session does come out with focus to at least provide title race until end of the season and hence are seen to be providing strong attacking game with quality players as seen during games against Molde but it does have some issues with defense even through to all respect to opponent, attackers might not provide much issue to them on this game.Yeni Malatyaspor is expected to look game more or less realistically and provide game with focus to be getting draw likely. Trabzonspor hence would need to show brave football and would be expected to get into many opportunities.

Trabzonspor would be favourites and will be expected to show performance accordingly during game.
