What happened in Turkish football today? 04/02/2023



Besiktas has lost crucial 3 points and has affected hardly to title race.

Besiktas has lost an important game against Sivasspor with 1:0 scoreline as side didnt provide very effective performance and apart of 1st minute possession didnt get much chances during whole game.

It been mentioned for several times in our blog that due of point difference with league leaders Galatasaray and also taking account that they keep on winning each week, Besiktas are being at the knife edge for its aim to be at title race. Therefore, this loss of 3 points did lead for side to be negatively effected of its aims as point difference has stayed 12 points with 1 game in hand. Even through field conditions and also cold weather which has been around 0 degrees without doubt has affected performance of both sides, but it is hard to state that Besiktas would have shown good performance even if its been played at ideal spot. Without doubt, Gedson Fernandes absence due of cards fine has affected performance at defence and let Sivasspor to control game as they have hoped for. Right now, Besiktas would need to find solution for such ineffective performance in recent weeks.

Sivasspor it needs to be mentioned did provide an organised performance with showing good attention at defence and without doubt has used its opportunity at goal position and to addition to this has found some good chances. This game has put them into better position for upcoming weeks.

Besiktas hence are showing drop of performance during last 2 weeks and would need to focus in this training session to get back into winning ways which they need.

Galatasaray are coming out as favourites but its not that simple.

Galatasaray would be coming to an important game against its arch-rivals Trabzonspor with a single aim to carry on its leadership in the league and also continue its 12th game streak.

Even through our blog has been stated that Galatasaray are not showing exceptionally top performance and also did have serious problems during last-spot Umraniyespor in the midweek it is still most at form side in the league which could be seen from outstanding winning reign. During this game it would be playing against opponents which has very poor performance at away games during this season, which is also has been main reason why it finds itself pretty far from title race and also strong support from its own fans, Galatasaray would be excepted to dominate game on the field. Therefore, with form and confidence Galatasaray would be favourite but it needs to be aware that opponent tends to play good against big 4 opponents.

Galatasaray hence are being favourites when looking at recent form but it wont be any easy game for sure.

Trabzonspor would have motivation and focus to beat leaders and end poor results run at away games

With Galatasaray coming out with incredible 11-game winning streak, Trabzonspor would be coming out with very poor performance at away game and would be focussed to stop this away game phobia it experiences.

Without doubt Trabzonspor main motivation boost is to geAt good result against league leaders and also end away game record with showing strong and attacking game. It needs to be mentioned that regardless how Trabzonspor has been played during season, its games against other big clubs has been shown extra motivated and provided good performance during which it did win games or has lost with heads up. It could be noted that similar performance could be accepted from Trabzonspor and hence it could be an exciting performance with high tempo as Galatasaray tend to be at many chances as Trabzonspor would be in return extra motivated without doubt. Therefore, we could see one of the best performances in sense of tempo and organision from Trabzonspor due of extra motivation.

Therefore, Trabzonspor would be focussed to get 3 points against Galatasaray with motivation from winning league leaders and end its unlucky performance in away games in this season.
