What happened in Turkish football today? 26/11/2021



Galatasaray got strong result against Olympique Marseille.

Galatasaray got very important against Olympique Marseille with 4:2 scoreline providing high level European level performance with securing its entry to knockout stages and being 1 point behind crucial 1st spot in the group.

Galatasaray did provide strong performance from start of the game with getting attacking style game providing needed pressure to Olympique Marseille goal which led for great goal from Cicaldau and also pressuring Caleta-Car with making mistake with own goal. In fact, Cicaldau did provide his best game since he joined this team being highly focussed and also taking crucial leadership role in the side. Even through towards end Olympique Marseille did provide some pressure to Galatasaray and found goals, Turkish giant is being one who did control game and got well-deserved win. Now it would be needing to win Lazio to pass next knockout stage but it would be tough game.

Galatasaray are showing top game at Europa League but it needs to find solution to continue this level of game in the Super League.

Fenerbahce provided poor game against Olympiakos.

Fenerbahce continues showing decline with its performance as it did lose to Olympiakos during last minute goal and only secured Conference League.

Even through Fenerbahce would be seeing February at the European tournaments, it needs to be noted that entering to Conference League for level like Fenerbahce is not good outcome. But in same way it performs right now it would be hard to state that it did deserve to be at knockout stages. To some extend it did provide strong and to some extend better game during 1st half being closer to goal but 2nd half it did provide much slower when it needed to win game and this game without did go into hand to Greek side. Fenerbahce did get confidence from Galatasaray win but it didnt manage to get into same level in this performance.

Fenerbahce didnt provide same level performance which it shown during derby and it needs to figure out why it didnt especially Vitor Pereira

Besiktas will be motivated to beat Giresunspor.

Besiktas would be focussing to start its poor performance in recent weeks against Giresunspor and would be coming out as favourites but it could be more tougher then looks.

Even through Giresunspor are being underdogs in this game, it does show some improvement in recent weeks and mentally would be in more confident then Besiktas. However, Besiktas would be aiming to end its poor performance which it shown so far and sees this as turning point which could mean it would try to show much more attacking game and effective game. Giresunspor still would give its chance with good defence and looking for counterattacks in return.

It would be tough game for both sides, but Besiktas could be slightly more motivated for win.
