Galatasaray got unexpected result and performance against Kayserispor

Kayserispor has got highly unexpected but in same well-deserved win against Galatasaray as it has shown positive attacking for most amount of the game and in overall has shown highly concentrated performace.

It needs to be mentioned that with differences of quality between sides and also recent results which Galatasaray did get against opponent, there was an expectation for Galatasaray to get confident win but it has been very far away. In fact, Kayserispor has shown performance which was expected from them as it is being side which did create opportunities while Istanbul giant defence did look pretty passive with attack did create some chances with Icardi but still were not in level to score goal. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did provide some improvement with its performance at the 2nd part of 2nd half especially but it is being too little too late especially when looking that Kayserispor were detirmed to get an historical win on their side and did show strong defensive performance and did prevent opponent to get clear chances. Only positive side from Galatasaray has been first goal of Baris Alper at his new club and in fact he did score beforehand but it needs to be mentioned that this goal will certainly will make him unsatisfied.

Kayserispor without doubt has deserved this win entirely with providing confident attacking game and aso strong defensive game and in short has been side which wanted to win. Kayserispor such performance also provided positive side as team would be tough to beat with such game plan.

Galatasaray were expected by many to get confident win but apart of have star players, their didnt get into level which has been expected from them.

Besiktas would need to show top level game for 90 minutes. 

Without doubt game between Besiktas and Trabzonspor is being one of the most anticipated game during this week as both sides would be aiming to give strong message that their are aiming to be among clubs to fight for leadership in the league.

Besiktas did manage to league game after 3 games last week against Giresunspor in pretty tough and fought game and even through side performance could be criticised, that win has provided strong confidence and morale to the side which it would be aiming to carry on at the game against Trabzonspor. However, it needs to be stated that it would need to provide top level performance for 2nd half in similar manner as it does in 1st half, as Trabzonspor is being side which could provide strong performance for 90 minutes and even rise up its tempo during 2nd half. Therefore, it needs to focus to show top level game for whole game as Trabzonspor is expected to be also focussing into goals during whole game.

Besiktas even through is being in good condition in the standings, side is not showing good performance but this game could be good opportunity for them to show some strong fighting performance.

Trabzonspor will be coming to Besiktas with strong momentum from Monaco win.

Even through Trabzonspor is not providing in general good performance in league but is being in good position at the standings in similar manner as Besiktas, it has gained crucial confidence and motivation after 4:0 win against Monaco.

Even through there could be some tiredness factors from Trabzonspor after Monaco game, since it has won that game against Monaco, it should not provide negative and quite opposite positive impact. In fact, when taking account that Besiktas is showing good performance in 1st half and 2nd half has decline, providing similar performance against Besiktas as their did against Trabzonspor could be working as during that performance Trabzonspor did mainly defend in 1st half. What could be key for Trabzonspor is to provide strong attacking game with aggressivity and provide some problems at Besiktas defensive line. With momentum got from Monaco to some extend Trabzonspor could be seen as favourite but it is difficult to quess in such games.

Trabzonspor are coming out in confident and strong morale which could transform to good performance on field for sure.
