What happened in Turkish football today? 07/05/2022



Basaksehirspor has lost an opportunity to more or less secure 4th spot.

Galatasaray has got goalless draw against Basaksehirspor at away game against an opponent which didnt need to get win to more or less secure European spot for next season but both sides did look to be showing passive game.

Galatasaray continues failing to show strong performance which could be due of being without aims for weeks right now and hence couldnt provide any additional confidence and attacking game as game been progressed. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray defence and Fernando Muslera are being main reasons why game has ended with goalless draw as attackers has been ineffective for 90 minutes. Therefore, Galatasaray did look to be pretty passive in attack and it is expected to be case until end of the season with Domenec Torrent would likely leaving club in the end of the season. 

Basaksehirspor on they part did look to be surprising passive for 90 minutes and even through being side which did create high amount of the opportunities still didnt provide enough pressure. Still, its been main favourite for 4th spot in the league but it did lose 2 points tonight.

Galatasaray has ended season mentally and would have tough mental game in last 2 weeks of the season.

Trabzonspor now fully focuses to Turkish Cup.

Trabzonspor and Hatayspor did come out to formality game against each other as it ended with 1:1 scoreline but it needs to be mentioned that tempo of the game has been pretty fast.

Even through Trabzonspor did provide some attacking game in some moments, it needs to be mentioned that mentally it wasnt entirely at the game as it didnt provide dominant game and didnt fight much to the ball when getting into chance of getting opportunity as would been expected. It needs to be mentioned that right Trabzonspor quite rightly is being focussed to Turkish Cup while league games would been in 2nd position, and this game would been played according to that.

Trabzonspor surely would be showing differnet performance against Kayserispor at Turkish Cup as long as it would be able to focus once again as it aims for double.

Fenerbahce would be more concentrated to derby game against Besiktas. 

2021-22 Super League season last derby game would be played between Besiktas and Fenerbahce, at the game which would been fully motivated for game as it still fights for 2nd spot with Konyaspor.

Hence, it would be even more important for Fenerbahce this game and hence it would been expected for them to provide much more agressive and attacking game with focussing into providing pressure to Besiktas goal. However, with Besiktas being much more relaxed as it doesnt have any aims for rest of the season, could be providing calmly some control of the game and be extra motivated for derby game while Valerien Ismael would be seeking for his 1st derby win. Coming back at Fenerbahce, it would be coming with injuries which includes Kim Min Jae and Arda Guler which been at very good form in recent weeks and this would be an important loss for them.

Fenerbahce would be coming as stronger favourite for game while Besiktas would be coming out to prestige game focussing to get win at derby game.
