Galatasaray has gained 1 point at game it was losing 3:1
When looking at the standings and how game developed it could be noted that Galatasaray has gained 1 point against Fatih Karagumruk as game has ended game with 3:3 scoreline as opponent did provide an attacking game as expected.
Galatasaray in fact did start game in positive note as it had find goal on 3rd minute with Kerem Akturkoglu as both sides did start game with high number of the chances. It needs to be mentioned that scored goal in fact went into hand as it did have control of game until Mbiagne Diagne have scored goal on 18th minute which led for game to go into hand towards Fatih Karagumruk as Galatasaray didnt provide right reaction but it needs to be mentioned that Oliviera did provide some hope. That goal to some extend did have a positive note, as Galatasaray did provide much more pressure and dangerous chances in 2nd half with also introduction of Mauro Icardi who by the way has missed penalty by very simple and needless Panelka shot in sense of moment of the goal. Still, Sacha Boey did score an important goal which possibly got an important 1 point but it wasnt outcome it looked before derby game.
Fatih Karagumruk did provide once again pretty poor performance in defence as it did concede 3 goals, but when looking in the attacks it has shown once again confident an attacking game and with such game has got well-deserved 1 point without doubt.
Galatasaray possibly did lose its 6 point advantage, as Fenerbahce will meet against Istanbul on 24th April, but in other hand this point could bring title in the end of the season.
Besiktas got an easy win against Umraniyespor but needs to improve on some areas still.
Besiktas has got relatively an easy win against last-place Umraniyespor as it got motivation and confidence back from previous week draw against Trabzonspor and also optimism for Galatasaray derby game next week.
Besiktas as been noted didnt have much issues against opponent as Umraniyespor didnt manage to provide to much pressure even through there were some chances which team get but still game has been played at the tempo and control of Besiktas even through it is difficult to note that it did provide full dominance and has been slow at tempo for most amount of time. Without doubt, a goal from Nathan Redmond on 14th minute during 1st half has also made things easier as it let for Umraniyespor to be discouraged to be affected from game.
It still however needs to be mentioned that Besiktas would need to provide much more stronger and organised game against Galatasaray next week if it wants to keep its title hopes vaguely alive.
Fenerbahce will aim to get game in much less stressful condition compare to previous 2 games.
Fenerbahce would be continuing its title race as it would be meeting with struggling Istanbulspor as it would be aiming not to get a win but in less stressful conditions as it did during previous weeks.
Even through Istanbulspor is being close to relegation zone and is playing for survival, it needs to be admitting that team is providing very positive and attacking game and providing difficult period for its opponents and also getting important points. Therefore, this game would not be an easy game and Fenerbahce would be needed to provide high tempo game. Still, stating that it would be expected for them to have much more less stressful game compare to previous two where it got 3 points due of great comebacks in last minutes of the game. Istanbulspor would be expected to provide focus into defence during game but would be aiming to create and use effectively some counter-attacks and hence Fenerbahce defence would need to be focussed for whole game.
Fenerbahce are coming out as favourites but Istanbulspor are expected to provide difficult game to them for sure.
