What happened in Turkish football today? 20/11/2021



Besiktas continues poor performance at away games.

Besiktas continues showing ineffective and poor performance at away games as it lost this time to Alanyaspor with 2:0 in the game where it did control game and been in offence but didnt get strong dominance in attack.

Looking how Alanyaspor did perform in recent weeks and also general of Besiktas during this season especially at away games, it wasnt big surprise for title holders to lose this game. Besiktas did control game with possession but as been noted didnt manage to provide much of the pressure to opponent goal which did show strong defence and dd use its opportunities with counter-attacks and did also create some opportunities as game been developing. Besiktas title during previous season did come from side fast tempo and this been absent without doubt during tonight's game also as it failed to get full control. It does look like also that Besiktas also lack of self confidence after getting such result and this area would need to be working on in upcoming weeks.

Alanyaspor did provide strong concentration during whole game with using its opportunities and did show strong defensive game and hence did get deserved win even through statistic might not agree and also good position in the standings.

Besiktas hence continues with showing poor performance at away games and keeps  point difference with Trabzonspor 10 points 1 more game.

Galatasaray does have crucial advantages in such derby game.

As always highly anticipated 2 continents derby game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce without doubt is being very crucial one as both sides would need to win game to keep themselves at the title race.

Galatasaray even through does have its issues during this season especially domestically, it does look to be coming as favourites due of coming in much more ideal squad compare to opponent, playing at home with all supporters as 100% filling of stands would be allowed, first time in this weekend after Covid19 entered to Turkey. Galatasaray will be coming out to the game with high potential to get win hence with strong supporters. In addition, Galatasaray would be also focussed to provide strong pressure to Fenerbahce goal as inexperienced Berke Ozer would be on goal and is expected not to be entirely ready for such level of game. Another factor is for Terim to be able to control side stronger when things are on crises.

Galatasaray does have advantages during this game which could become key in such derby game.

Fenerbahce will be coming with under pressure against Galatasaray

Fenerbahce does come out to very important game where it needs to show strong reaction and confident performance to get good outcome in such crucial period.

Fenerbahce would be coming out to crucial game against Galatasaray as it is being 11 points behind leaders and are showing poor performance which provides dissastifcation from supporters and media which could both provide motivation as this factor does provide some pressure to the side and it would be interesting to see how it would be affecting to the team. Without doubt, highest pressure would be felt by Berke Ozer who would be coming out to such crucial game with some inexperience and media being uncertain about him which could be affecting to his morale without doubt on playing night. Another question is regarding to tactics which would be played by Vitor Pereira and his reaction if things might not go well with Pereira feeling high pressure to not only get win but do it with concerning performance.

Fenerbahce would be coming with high pressure to derby game and it would be interesting how their would react to this.
