Galatasaray has difficult but positive win against Kasimpasa.

Galatasaray has got an important win against Kasimpasa with 3:2 scoreline in the sense of confidence for upcoming weeks and self-belief as game has been played in high tempo with Kasimpasa also aiming to show some positive game. 

It needs to be mentioned that start of the game for Galatasaray has not been very good as among conceding first during game as early as 16th minute, it has also failed to get upper hand of the game. However, after conceding it did show some good reaction with led for Bafetembi Gomis scoring on 20th minute as he continues to take lion share of scoring goals for this team. Stating that, the player of the game and main role for Galatasaray to win this game should be given to Kerem Akturkoglu who found 2 goals in 2nd half and has generally showed strong hunger at the front which especially been case during 2nd half. With main transfers still not being ready to be playing for Galatasaray, it has been hence important for Galatasaray to get win game and raise confidence.

Kasimpasa on they part did start game at high confidence with creating some opportunities and even through it does show some weaknesses at defence, it did show some good performance in attack which led them to find 2 goals against their opponents. Therefore, Kasimpasa doesnt seem to be having issues at front but needs to sort out defence.

Galatasaray hence did find an important 3 points and has shown possibly one of the strongest games during this season in the attack and gets important confidence.

Besiktas needs to spread top performance if it wants to get win aganst Basaksehirspor.

League leaders of the Super League Besiktas would be resuming its campaign against Basaksehirspor which is being one of the sides which are being on-form and providing positive performance on the field.

Besiktas even through does fail to provide successful performance when looking for 90 minutes from previous games of this season, does seem to be ending outcomes at the 1st half. Meanwhile, Basaksehirspor seems to be dominating game for 90 minutes and finding lots of goals while not being able to concede high amount and it does continue such performance both domestically and also at Europe. Besiktas did have some significant transfers during this summer and performance-wise we can see improvement but it does look like 1st half of this game would be playing crucial role as outcome in this period could decide who would be winner.

Basaksehirspor might be getting win if it manages to defend well during 1st half while Besiktas would need find ways to spread its top performance for 90 minutes.

Adana Demirspor is expected to provide pressure to Trabzonspor

With Trabzonspor not having a great start of the season which been expected from side which confidently won title in previous season is also expected to have difficult time against Adana Demirspor.

Without doubt, Adana Demirspor is being side which aims to show top level performance with creating high number of the chances and hence it would be aiming to use this effectively against side which does have serious issues on the field right now and provide significant pressure towards Trabzonspor. In other hand, playing in form side could be good opportunity to regain confidence towards side and get morale and confidence for upcoming weeks. News that Yusuf Yazici and Djaniny has become injured however might affect negatively to performance of the team.

When looking on the form of both sides, it would be expected to Adana Demirspor to at least provide some significant pressure to Trabzonspor goals during whole game.
