What happened in Turkish football today? 11/02/2022



Besiktas continues low number of conversition of opportunities.

Besiktas gets to the Turkish Cup quarter-final stage with beating Goztepe through penalty kick-outs as team's goalkeeper Ersin Destanoglu has made 2 crucial saves and once again providing top game through penalties.

Even through Goztepe without doubt did provide strong and organised game against Besiktas, it needs to be noted that it has been which did control game and create opportunities especially after 2nd half but continues to have issues with converting them and does show that it does lack with last shots among being unlucky. With defensive good game and Ersin Destanoglu it manages to end most game either with draw or 1:0 goalline but without doubt there must be some important works done in the attacks if it wants to see European football next season either getting spot through league or Turkish Cup. Without doubt there is decline with attackers in recent weeks and Onder Karaveli needs to focus and find solutions for this in upcoming training sessions.

Besiktas attackers are showing poor performance in this recent weeks and if it doesnt solve it, it would continue losing points.

Galatasaray will have tough time against in-form Kayserispor.

Galatasaray continues to be at risk of getting close to relegation zone as it only being 3 points above of Antalyaspor as it continues losing points back to back with Torrent.

With Kayserispor showing strong performance in recent weeks and also beating Fenerbahce with showing strong organised game at Turkish Cup especially with 10 men during 2nd half does show in what good form club is and without doubt would raise motivation. In addition, despite of Fenerbahce showing poor performance, they are being in better condition then Galatasaray. Still, Galatasaray would be seeing this game as opportunity to get turning point with its poor recent performance but without doubt players morale is being at very low point which would also affect negatively to the side in this game and Torrent both tactically and psychologically has issues to motivate team rightly.

Therefore, Galatasaray would see this game as turning point but it would be tough one and even comes out as underdogs at game where usually it would be strong favourites.

Giresunspor would aim to beat Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce would be coming to Super League game against Giresunspor with an aim to start getting some positive results but opponent is being one of the most eye-catching sides during 2nd half of the season.

In addition to this, Giresunspor is showing some strong positive game and in recent weeks does get great results with beating Galatasaray, Besiktas and getting draw with leaders Trabzonspor and without doubt would be aiming to show similar performance against Fenerbahce, as it did get those results with getting balanced both with organising and positive focussed game. Fenerbahce is being in big decline with getting loss against Kayserispor with playing 10 men whole second half and didnt manage to win 2 games during this season in same conditions, which by itself shows its condition. Hence, Fenerbahce would need morale prior to Conference League game against Slavia Prague, but Giresunspor will not give this game easily.

Giresunspor when looking into form are being favourites and Fenerbahce would surely need to show one of its best performance of this seaons if it wants to get win.
