What happened in Turkish football today? 17/04/2023



Besiktas didnt do much for a win.

Turkish Super League 29th week game between Trabzonspor and Besiktas has been played at very low tempo and not much action for 60 minutes but things did change during 30 minutes but with Besiktas goalkeeper becoming main star of the game.

Besiktas did come to the game which would provide some hope for title as we entering to last weeks but it didnt provide as team which would need to get win as it did looked to be pretty passive and make lots of mistake. It is true that it did create some chances in the last minutes of the game and could even find winning goal but performance wise it way behind Trabzonspor and also level of the game which has been seen from them in recent weeks. Mert Gunok has been only player which did provide good performance and character and did prevent Trabzonspor to win game without doubt. With 11 points behind Galatasaray and 8 games left until end of the season, chances of Besiktas for title is getting almost to none.

What was more worrying without doubt for Besiktas is that it didnt not even lose 2 points but also went back with performance dramatically.

Trabzonspor wanted to get win in last 30 minutes.

If Besiktas did go behind with its performance against Trabzonspor, then Black Sea side did that quite opposite even through it could be stated for last 30 minutes.

As been noted, both sides didnt provide much performance during first 60 minutes but afterwards Trabzonspor did rise tempo towards end of the game and has provided an agressive attacking game at which it couldnt overpass both goalkeeper Mert Gunok and defenders, as this performance could be related due of providing some forgiveness from its supporters and also extra motivation given when playing against top club. Without doubt, Trabzonspor did show one of the best performance in last 30 minutes during this season and been side which did lose chance to get win.

It is hard to note how such performance in upcoming weeks but it would provide some confidence as team is close to make deal with new coach Nenad Bjelica.

Galatasaray will aim to get closer to title with win against Alanyaspor

Galatasaray would be resuming its aim to get title in the end of the season with an away game against Alanyaspor as it would be coming as high favourite.

It needs to be mentioned that it regained confidence and motivation with good performance against Kayserispor where it won with 6:0 scoreline and this would provide some positive impact to Alanyaspor but it could have tough moments to get such confident win against them as Alanyaspor regardless how poor season it has tends to have extra performance level against top teams and it would be aiming to do so against league leaders. Galatasaray still expected to provide an attacking game from start of the game with Icardi taking leading role.

Galatasaray are being favourites without doubt but Alanyaspor are capable to get surprising result in the game.
