What happened in Turkish football today? 19/02/2022



Besiktas gets win after 3 draws.

Besiktas ends its draw streak in the Super League as it got minumum win against Altay with 1:0 scoreline thanks to the goal from Domagoj Vida from corner and keeps side in the race for Conference League spot at least.

It needs to be mentioned that even through when looking in the table Besiktas did look to be favourite due of poor performance from Altay in recent weeks, there were some worries from Istanbul giants as it did provide lack of goals in recent games to get win. In fact, issue with forward players has been continued during this game also as winning goal did come from defender Domagoj Vida who did provide very good shot from head shot. Therefore, it still hard to state that Besiktas did provide strong dominance during game but in other hand it was in situation where it needed to get win regardless in what kind of manner and it did just that. It also needs to mentioned that Besiktas once again showed decline during last minutes of the game with Altay getting high number of opportunities with getting great shots with getting posts and hence it also continues to show decline of performance in end of the game which could either be due of physical and even psychological reasons.

Altay did provide performance which has been been above its expectation as it tried to be organised at defence and did rise tempo with very good opportunities with also showing signs that it was aware of issues with Besiktas lack of good game towards end as it did push it but it didnt find goal.

Besiktas did get win which it urgently needed and now side would need to focus to make it streak of wins so it aim for European spots for next season.

Confident Trabzonspor will have tough game against Alanyaspor.

Trabzonspor is going to resume its race for title with pretty difficult game against in-form Alanyaspor but it would be coming out with knowledge that this win would make them get closer to aim even more closer.

Without doubt win against Konyaspor, which does stay as the main contenders at the title race would provide strong motivation and confidence strength to the side as it did have some decline with its performance and would like to be providing strong confident performance even one of its main players Marek Hamsik will not be playing due of injury which is being in good form but there would be expected for Edin Visca to continue his in-form performance and would be expected to be crucial player in the attack. Stating that Alanyaspor would be coming out in good form and with focus to get to at least Conference League spot. It would be expected to show strong game with organising game.

Hence, Trabzonspor would be coming to game as favourites but it would not be easy game for sure for them. 

Fenerbahce doesnt give much hope against Hatayspor.

Fenerbahce would be coming out tough game against Hatayspor as both clubs are aiming to get into Conference League zone with Hatayspor when looking in recent result is being into more confident mood.

Even through Fenerbahce is being in the top half of the table and still focus into European football for next season, there are being opponent which everybody in the league without doubt is being focussed to be beating. Even through Fenerbahce did provide some promising and good performance against Giresunspor, it did get into its old habit of performance against Slavia Prague at the Conference League with players not showing much willingness while Hatayspor aims to provide fast-tempo positive game regardless who is opponent and this factor does put them into focussing into some outcome against Istanbul giants.

Fenerbahce is not coming out to the game with high confidence and this factor could be problematic since its opponents would be extra motivated and confident.
