Galatasaray unexpectedly got good result against Barcelona.
Galatasaray got very important result against Barcelona without conceding goal at Camp Nou and keeps its chances for quarter-final of the Europa League alive without doubt.
It needs to be mentioned that organised defensive game from Galatasaray for 90 minutes during Barcelona game didnt only provide unexpected performance to across world, but also within Turkey as current condition of the side didnt expect for them to show strong performance as their having poor performance at domestic league with Domenec Torrent. However, it needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did use its advantage of playing against Barcelona in factor that Torrent is being familiar with his opponent and provided strong respect to the side in productive manner and not letting Barcelona to show its best game. It needs to be added that Barcelona on they part didnt show its strongest performance but Galatasaray did play its part to prevent them.
Galatasaray therefore would be coming out with some optimism in 2nd leg at home as it could be getting strong supporters behind its back.
Trabzonspor would be aimed to show strong game against Goztepe.
Trabzonspor are going to resume its aim to get title during this season against Goztepe as it is being only 5 wins away from title out of 10 games even if Konyaspor wins all of its games.
Trabzonspor therefore does have 5 games in hand to not win for title, but it would be expected for them to be reducing to 4 games as even through it showed some slow down against Fenerbahce factor that it is being game against big side did affect result, but Trabzonspor would be likely be focussed into providing top performance and get another step for title. Stating that, it would be playing against opponent which does need win urgently as it aims to stay in the league with its new head coach, so Goztepe would be giving its chance to become 2nd side to win Trabzonspor during whole season but as would been expected it would be difficult task fro them without doubt.
Trabzonspor are coming out as favourites as they being in relaxed mood which could provide them much more calm attacking game.
Galatasaray has called for Besiktas game to be postponed.
Meanwhile, there is strong conversations if games would be postponed during this weekend due of forecasted heavy snow which does include also Trabzonspor game as Galatasaray are openly calling for their game against Besiktas to be postponed.
It needs to be mentioned that as it would be meeting for 2nd leg game against Besiktas, field conditions and also not being able to arrive right now to Istanbul leads their arguments even much more crucial and it would be interesting to see how TFF would be responding even through Besiktas has only stated that it would not be accepting postponement unless weather and conditions in the stadiums during kick-off will not allow teams to play and hence if Besiktas doesnt accept Galatasaray would need to come out in the field.
Right now, Galatasaray would need to find ways to convince Besiktas to postpone game but it could be difficult task for them very likely.
