Galatasaray kept it strong position thanks to goals at the end of the game.
Galatasaray has managed to get very important win against Adana Demirspor during derby week with scoring 2 goals at the last minutes of the game thanks to great shot from Fredrik Midjso and penalty goal from Nicolo Zaniolo.
Even through Galatasaray did control game when looking at statistically and also to some extend with tempo, it needs to be mentioned that it did struggle to get that crucial goal until 86th minute. Galatasaray it needs to be stated compare to opponents always been closer and been looking for goals but good defensive performance and high focus from Adana Demirspor and always providing pressure with good positioning did lead for Galatasaray to get either shot or one which would have high XG. Therefore, at 85th minute it was looking like game could have ended with 0:0 but also using right opportunity, nice shot and a bit of luck from Fredrik Midjso did find a crucial goal which also provided some confidence and motivation for rest of the moment with led for Nicolo Zaniolo to find penalty goal from position which has been in right manner. Hence, Galatasaray focus into title aim for did lead fighting spirit with goals at the end of the game and also right substitution from head coach Okan Buruk as 2 goals did come from substitutes.
Adana Demirspor meanwhile did provided good focus towards game as it has provided good defensive game with focussed positioning which led them to be always close to ball. In addition, it has also number of good chances which it has created through counter-attacks and has got two posts during 1st half. Despite of loss, Adana Demirspor did provide good performance and unlikely to have negative impact in upcoming weeks.
Galatasaray hence got very important win at the week where Fenerbahce would be meeting with Besiktas and would know that it will stay as leaders in upcoming weeks with point difference after next week even through it would not play in that week.
Trabzonspor continues losing points even through it did show fighting spirit.
Trabzonspor didnt manage to provide win at the 1st game of newly elected CEO Ertugrul Dogan and 1st official match of the head coach Orhan Ak as it lost against Kayserispor with 4:3 scoreline at high tempo game.
What is more extraordinary to some extend in the game has been that 7 goals did come in the first 64 minutes as game more or less did start with a goal as Kayserispor player Bassan did score within 1st minute of the game. It needs to be stated on positive note from Trabzonspor that whenever it did go behindin the game it did provide full focus to get back with finding goals straight away twice and also got 3:3 scoreline from 3:1 within 8 minutes. Therefore, it could be mentioned that Trabzonspor did provide high tempo game and did play for a win and always showed reaction during whole game but in same time it needs to be admitted that Kayserispor did want game more which it did get. It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor did provide strong fighting spirit but still it does lack some motivation as it did lose its home advantage.
It needs to be mentioned meanwhile that performance of Kayserispor should be praised as its not being in very good position in the league and also did come out with many absences but starting from 1st minute until end it did show that it did come out for a win and was showing full fight. This game will provide needed motivation.
Trabzonspor hence didnt provide present in the first game of new administration and even through did provide strong fighting spirit, it did show that it would be having difficult ending of this season mentally.
Fenerbahce does come out as slight favourite against Besiktas
Without doubt one of the key games during this week would be derby game between Fenerbahce and Besiktas as Fenerbahce would be aiming to keep its title race close to Galatasaray while Besiktas with win would keep some chances for title.
When looking into form of two sides and also position of the table, to some extend it could be mentioned that more motivated side for game would be Fenerbahce even through Besiktas to some extend would need to win game more as loss could mean that they would lose all hopes for title. Fenerbahce would be playing at home which for sure would be also seen as an additional bonus for the team as Fenerbahce does show better game when playing at home especially during derby games thanks to great support of home fans. It needs also noted that both sides didnt get win during this season at the derbies either losing or playing draw, as 1st half of two teams has ended with a goalless draw. Its hard to call specific favourite, but Fenerbahce does have some advantages over Besiktas during this game for sure.
Fenerbahce would keep its title chance arrive pretty much with a win and hence it could be more motivated and this factor could be key with a final result without doubt.
