What happened in Turkish football today? 09/04/2022



Trabzonspor continues losing points against Gaziantep.

Trabzonspor continues losing points during recent weeks as it lost 2 points this time to Gaziantep as it looks like side has shown some relaxation and loss of concentration with title being very close to the side.

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor during recent weeks, when title is getting closer to the side and with only needing to get few number of wins it did provide some relaxation and lost its effectiveness which been seen on early games during this season. When coming to the Gaziantep game, this been one of the weakest games for the side with letting Gaziantep into creating high number of dangerous opportunities and also having pretty ineffective shots on goal. In fact, with Abdullah Avci stating that Trabzonspor has arleady won title could been said too early as it had negative impact into players. Gaziantep which were aware of this issue looked to be more creative and attacking game with providing tempo, while Trabzonspor tempo is being pretty slow. Trabzonspor seems to be under pressure which it created for themselves as it has deja vu moments of Abdullah Avci with Basaksehirspor when he lost title while 8 points advantage.

Gaziantep did look to be much more effective showing why it provides strong and attacking game on the field and has shown strong attacking game without being able to overpass opponent goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir.

Trabzonspor hence continues losing points with only winning 1 game in last 5 games and now creating pressure to themselves.

Besiktas has provided hope for last 6 weeks with confident win against Alanyaspor

Besiktas is continuing showing an impressive performance with Valerien Ismael  with 4:1 scoreline against Alanyaspor as it shown dominating game and has reduced 2 points against Alanyaspor who are currently being 4th spot.

Besiktas with finding an early goal on 2nd minute with Batshuayi, which has provided key for side to be dominating game from start to an end as Alanyaspor in surprising manner with being at 4th spot didnt show much reaction to the game. Without doubt, Ismael tactic which is being focussed into mainly fast tempo attacking game has also shown its performance into turning into results as all 4 goals did come with strong attacking game without doubt and could be one of the main reasons for Batshuayi to be having hat-trick as he has been in previous games highly criticised. Without doubt this win would provide some motivation and confidence for upcoming games and fight for Conference League spots.

Alanyaspor did show some relexation during recent weeks in the Super League and it has been also seen during this game also without providing too much pressure especially as it has conceded goal after 2 minutes after equalising.

Besiktas without doubt does provide some high hopes for last 6 weeks in the season and would now focus into top 4 spots with even setting an eye to runners-up spot even if its been difficult. 

Both sides would play for win due of different reasons.

Derby of two continents would be played with both clubs would be coming out for important but with two different reasons as Fenerbahce is fighting for runners-up spot while for Galatasaray this is being more psychological win in this poor season.

With both sides being very far from title race as Trabzonspor has almost got its title in this season, Fenerbahce is giving very intense fight for 2nd spot with Konyaspor and hence when looking at the standings sense this game is being much more important for them and hence would provide an additional motivation. However, Galatasaray among having very poor season in the league in addition does have mistrust towards Domenec Torrent since he has join side and also there would be early CEO election in the end of the month which provides without doubt pressure to the whole side. Hence, in such condition game would be played. Coming to who is favourites, Fenerbahce due of great performance in recent weeks with Ismail Kartal is being strong favourite but as always its difficult to quess favourite.

Hence, Fenerbahce are being favourites for the game but it is being tough to be called for now as both sides would give their best game on derby game as always.
