What happened in Turkish football today? 19/03/2022



Besiktas continues losing points with losing 2 against Hatayspor this time.

Besiktas continues losing points in the Super League and hence putting into difficult 2nd spot aim and also putting into difficulty for top 4 spot as it drawn with Hatayspor with 1:1 scoreline as weather been played in difficult conditions.

IT needs to be mentioned that once again Besiktas did start game in high tempo with creating some opportunities with finding goal from Michy Batshuayi on 16th minute. When looking into statistics Besiktas has been side which been dominating game with controlling ball but has failed to win game again as main reason has been due of lacking converting its opportunities as even through Batshuayi did score goal, he continued without scoring goal despite of getting very clear opportunities but it needs to be mentioned that Besiktas did failed to do so. With taking account that Hatayspor is being in good form in recent weeks did also provide issues to Besiktas as side been providing some positive performance. One of the sides which would be happy for national team break as it would need to work on with getting wins in upcoming weeks.

Hatayspor on they part did provide good performance with pretty organised defence and also did look for some possibilities in the front which included great free-kick goal from Lobjanidze and did regain important confidence for upcoming weeks.

Besiktas has lost points in another game and even through it does show an attacking game it continues having issues with converting opportunities and needs to work on this during this break.

Rizespor has wanted to win game more than Trabzonspor and hence got such result.

Trabzonspor has ended with its winning streak of 13 games this time losing to Rizespor which has shown strong fighting spirit towards end of the game and also game has been played at heavy snow conditions and affected field which made things difficult for Trabzonspor.

Stating that, it needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor didnt also provided confident and strong performance with showing signs that its been slighly relaxed as it did come out with 15 point advantage over 2nd spot Konyaspor and with Rizespor needing to win game much more to keep its chances arrive to stay on the league did affect performance of both sides. It needs to be mentioned that ironically goal scored by Abdulkadir Omur did provided some strong reaction from Rizespor which did find 3 goals thanks to penalties from Pohjanpilo. It needs to be mentioned meanwhile that even through goals did come from penalties, Rizespor been better side for last 30 minutes and did look side which wanted to get win more than Trabzonspor. 

This result would not affect much to Trabzonspor as it still needs 3 games for title as long as it stays focussed to its games while for Rizespor it does provide some hope to stay in the league. 

Result between Konyaspor and Fenerbahce would define fight for runners-up spot for rest of the season.

One of the most anticipated games during this week has been without doubt game between Konyaspor and Fenerbahce as both sides are aiming right now for 2nd spot which would mean Champions League qualifiers.

With Fenerbahce being 5 points behind Konyaspor, it would mean that difference with both sides would be reduced to 1 game while if Konyaspor manages to get win it would raise point difference to 8 points. It also needs to be mentioned therefore that draw for Konyaspor in a sense of 2nd spot would not be affected to much, so it is being more important for Fenerbahce to get win which could mean that it would be providing much more attacking game compare ot opponents. Stating that Konyaspor did provide pretty aggressive game and good results against top clubs which is being without doubt one of the main reason why its been located at 2nd spot for long time. Hence, Konyaspor is expected to continue providing strong and confident game but is risking much less.

It also needs to be mentioned that this game would be also interest for Trabzonspor as result of this game could mean if it has possibility to celebrate title in duration of 3-4 weeks or not.
