Fenerbahce looked confident during 2nd half.

Fenerbahce has got confident win against Kasimpasa with big help from Enner Valencia who has scored 4 goals in one game for first time in his career and has kept 4 point difference with league leaders.

Fenerbahce it needs to be mentioned didnt have great start of the game and even through did control game it didnt dominate it and has conceded pretty an early goal from Fall, but it showed significant reaction at the end of the 1st half and with confidence got from this comeback from Valencia, it has dominated 2nd half. Meanwhile, another player who does deserve lots of praise at Fenerbahce has been Arda Guler who looks to be very confident and once again has shown that he is capable to provide top level performance at senior level despite of being 17 years old. It also need to be mentioned that it has been best game from team since league resumed after World Cup and has got significant confidence for upcoming games.

With Galatasaray keep getting results, Fenerbahce needs to carry on winning too and now it would be focussed for sure to Adana Demirspor game.

Besiktas must-win if it wants to stay at title race.

To keep their hopes arrive for league title, Besiktas would need to win 5th game back-to-back as it would be meeting with Fatih Karagumruk which could be tough game as opponent tend to show positive game in recent weeks.

With Galatasaray and Fenerbahce doesnt have intention to be losing points as would been expected, Besiktas is carries on being on knife edge in the title race and for sure it would be coming again to very important game for them. Even through there are some criticism regarding how Besiktas performs, it did get confidence and tend to convert goals with Cenk Tosun with Vincent Aboubakar has high potential to play significant role with finding goals. Fatih Karagumruk meanwhile would need to carry on showing positive game as with such tactic it can find some good positions which it could convert due of defence performance of opponent.

Besiktas are being favourites but without doubt the team is being under big pressure as loss could have negative impact to title aims.

Fenerbahce has signed Jayden Oosterwelde for 4.5 years

Fenerbahce has signed Jayden Oosterwelde for 4.5 years from Parma as player is being an ideal transfer as it solves lots of issues which team had.

One of the important issues that it solves defensive issues at the team as it tends to be weakest area as it does lack good left-back defender even through one which are at squad does show some impact. Another aspect is that player will not be having issue with foreign player limit as he ticks exception of being 21-year old younger and playing at national side. Connected to this, he is seen as potential future star and hence could be good investment in the team for future. Therefore, this transfer for sure would be good investment for this season and also upcoming years.
