What happened in Turkish football today? 25/08/2021


 

1st leg result gives some hope to Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor would be coming out to difficult tie against Roma at Conference League 2nd leg game with being aware that it does have some possibility in Rome to get to next stage with 2:1 scoreline but it would be much difficult to play away.

Trabzonspor despite of losing game did provide some strong reaction and fighting spirit against Roma during 1st leg and to get what would be seen as big surprise result it would need foremost to provide same attitude which would at least provide some respect to the side which it managed to do so. With away goal rule taking away could provide provide additional bonus to the side during 2nd leg as it would let them to only with 1 goal to bring game to extra time. However, especially it being away game one of the important issue here is to provide strong defence to get some hope for group stage and sadly this being most dissapointing area for them for now without doubt.

Roma would be using its advantage at home tactically and Trabzonspor with providing respect need to show some reaction to opponent.

Fenerbahce need to be aware of artificial field.

Fenerbahce is being only side which did manage to get 1st leg games at play-off rounds with minumum scoreline with 1:0 and with being favourites in 2nd leg too it needs to be aware that their advantage is being with minumum scoreline.

It needs to be noted here that game would be played at artificial field which could led for some issues to Fenerbahce as side is not used to play in such condition as such field has always been advantage to home side while did create many issues to away sides so it would need to provide preparation to game with this on their minds and it does have capacity to do so in this game. Fenerbahce still has some issues with injuries especially at front but it would be coming with high motivation as it played 3 official games in such condiiton with winning them and not conceding goal, and this confidence would be good motivation for them.

With winning game in minumum advantage from 1st leg and artificial field without doubt areas which would lead Fenerbahce to provide strong game but it is being faourite to get to group stage.

Galatasaray would need to show stronger game against Randers.

Galatasaray will be coming to 2nd leg at Kasimpasa stadium due of renewal works of its field at home ground, and would be strong favourites against Randers despite of 1:1 draw in 1st leg.

Even through Galatasaray did get 2 out of 2 at domestic leagues and providing some improvements at each game, it still difficult to state that it is 100% ready to show top performance and with Randers coming to game with realistic chances to get to group stage, Galatasaray would need to provide better games with providing much more agressive game as Randers even through does need goal would likely provide strong defensive game to which early goal to Istanbul side likely to make tasks slightly more easier. Therefore, Galatasaray needs to be very focussed to game and provide confident performance for 90 minutes to get confident ticket to Europa League group stage.

Galatasaray are being favourites but it does need to improve its performance from this season for this game.
