Trabzonspor gets important and needed win against Umraniyespor

Trabzonspor has managed to get an important win against Umraniyespor thanks to the goal from Trezeguet on 60th minute and even through side didnt provide very good performance, it has been very important win for confidence.

It has been visible that poor performance in recent games by Trabzonspor in recent games and also selling Andreus Cornelius to Copenhagen has affected negatively to side as it failed to provide strong attacking game and get tempo of the game. Stating that it needs to be mentioned that Umraniyespor did provide well-organised defensive game but it needs to be remembered that Trabzonspor managed to overpass such performance of opponents in previous season. Still, despite of not very successful game, this win would provide lots of confidence for upcoming games which to some extend has also been visible in this game as Trabzonspor did provide much more attacking game towards Umraniyespor goal after finding goal despite of not scoring. Without doubt, this win also been important prior to Europa League game against Ferencvaros.

Umraniyespor it needs to be mentioned is being side which does provide good defensive game as it did also tonight especially before conceding from Trabzonspor but it needs to be finding solution with an attacking game if it wants to get crucial wins.

Trabzonspor might not be showing very good performance but it needed to win game regardless how it manages and it achieved that. Now it would need to see how to improve as this performance will not be enough against Ferencvaros.

Fenerbahce will need to show effective game against Kayserispor.

Fenerbahce would be aiming to bounce back from poor performance during previous game against Konyaspor as it going to meet with Kayserispor but it is expected to be tough game as we seeing more positive seeking Kayserispor this season.

Fenerbahce which been praised with its recent performance and showing an attacking game, has shown pretty ineffective performance against Konyaspor in previous week and hence this game against Kayserispor would be seen as opportunity to bounce back. Even through Fenerbahce would be coming out as strong favourite for game due of quality of side, Kayserispor without doubt will not consider to lose game, yet to do at easy manner. Therefore, attackers of the game would need to seek into providing similar performance which they showed in earlier weeks but here once again a key role would be coming to defence which does concede goal at each game. 

Fenerbahce would need to show effective balanced game with good tempo if it wants to have positive bounce back impact against Kayserispor.

Basaksehirspor extends contract with Emre Belozoglu for 1-year.

Basaksehirspor has extended contract with its head coach Emre Belozoglu as side is also close to solve issue of being coach with Pro Licence. 

Emre Belozoglu it needs to be mentioned does provide strong performance in Basaksehirspor as side does provide positive attacking game with good ratio of winning games so it should not be surprise for Basaksehirspor to extend contract with him for 1-year. It also reported that Pro Licence issue of Belozoglu is still being case but he is being close to sort it out in few days time and could be even sort out for Conference League game in upcoming weeks. Belozoglu did set his name with club and would be expected to continue positive performance in this season too.

Belozoglu without doubt is showing that is being good coach even through he is being only recent to job and he been rewarded by Basaksehirspor with this extension.
