What happened in Turkish football today? 02/08/2022



Trabzonspor has been drawn with Copenhagen at Champions League.

Trabzonspor has been drawn against Copenhagen during Champions League play-off round as Turkish champions would be starting its journey to get into group stage against side which has lots of experience at European level.

Stating that, it needs to be mentioned that Copenhagen didnt manage to get into group stage from qualifiers for long period of time and hence it would not be tough opponent even through as side it has more experience. However, when looking into squad of Trabzonspor, it does look to be in better form. In addition, Trabzonspor does have Cornelius who did join to the club from Copenhagen and hence is being familiar with opponents and might provide some clues how to beat them in those games.

Trabzonspor did get good draw to some extend but it would be two tough games without doubt.

Fenerbahce has been drawn against Austria Wien. 

Fenerbahce has been drawn against Austrian side Austria Wien if it manages to get through Slovacko at Europa League 3rd qualifying round as it expects to be doing so without doubt.

Fenerbahce it needs to be mentioned did provide some promising performance against Dinamo Kiev during Champions League but didnt still provide much pressure towards them. It needs to be mentioned that even through it is being stronger and more experienced side at Europe then Austria Wien, it still could be expected to be tough games as Austrian football is being on rise which does affect to its league also to some extend. Fenerbahce hence needs to focus currently to go through Slovacko and afterwards improve performance against Austria Wien for sure.

Fenerbahce are being favourites in upcoming ties but it would need to provide stronger and confident performance compare to Dinamo Kiev.

Sivasspor been drawn with winners of Malmo and Didelange tie.

Sivasspor has been drawn with winners of Malmo and Didelange draw at Europa League play-off round, with Malmo being more likely to be drawn with them for sure.

Sivasspor would be expected to have some difficult game against Malmo as it is being strong and experienced side at European front and it needs to be reminded that it did have some difficult moments during Trabzonspor and doesnt provide much positive view after Turkish Super Cup. Even through it might improve performance with league also going to be started, Sivasspor does provide some worries and needs to focus into improvement prior to this game at Europa League.

Sivasspor doesnt provided positive view and would be providing some worries with such draw to be taking place at tournament.
