Ankaragucu has got into Turkish Cup first time since 2000 with great comeback against Trabzonspor
Ankaragucu has qualified to Turkish Cup semi-final first time since 2000 as it has provided strong fighting spirit against Trabzonspor and has got win with 3:1 scoreline while Trabzonspor continues its performance which it has shown during Super League.
It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor has provided good start of the game with controlling ball and has created some of the opportunities and has found one goal with Abdulkadir Omur with good attacking formation and hence did control in overall 1st half. However, game has changed entirely during 2nd half as it has lost tempo of the game and has shown too much performance which led them to concede goal on 51st minute. After conceding goal, Trabzonspor didnt manage to get back into control of the game and did look to be pretty defensive and passive which led for Ankaragucu to get full control of the game and show great comeback. With Trabzonspor having only one aim for rest of the season at Turkish Cup, it should analyse why team went into such drop of performance level.
Ankaragucu it needs to be mentioned has shown during 2nd half that it really wants to get a win as it started providing much more attacking and aggresive game which led them to create them and also score 3 goals. With Ankaragucu providing poor performance at Super League and coming to game as underdogs, such comeback at the game should be very praised and foremost has shown that it wants to get to semi-final much more than Trabzonspor. In addition, good performance of Sowe has led him to carry on raise of performance in recent weeks showing to be one of the key players at the side.
Ankaragucu has shown strong comeback and got historical comeback against Trabzonspor while Trabzonspor has continued its poor performance which it has shown in recent weeks.
Galatasaray will be coming out as favourite against Basaksehirspor.
Probably one of the most anticipated games during Turkish Cup quarter-final stage will be between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor as both sides which are always having high aims would be seeking for title at cup.
Looking at the form of the both sides, it needs to be stated that Galatasaray does look to be favourite as it going into confident manner into title in the Super League and this factor does provide some additional motivation at the Turkish Cup. Adding to that, Galatasaray is being into much better in this period as things for Basaksehirspor, beginning after World Cup 2024, are not as planned without doubt. With Galatasaray not playing during weekend, it could be coming out to the game with main squad and this could also provide rise of confidence and motivation as players would be seeking not only ticket for semi-final but carry on its top performance. Stating that, it is expected for Nicolo Zaniolo to be starting 11 at 1st time.
Galatasaray would be coming out as favourite but Basaksehirspor would be highly motivated at same time.
Basaksehirspor will be expected to show more confident game against Galatasaray
In other hand, Basaksehirspor are going through very good performance and also it did lose earlier this season to Galatasaray with 7:1 scoreline so it would be likely focussing to provide reaction at first game after that devastating loss.
Basaksehirspor it needs to be mentioned has been heavily criticised as would be expected after that loss and been questioned if both sides are on same level hence this good opportunity for Basaksehirspor to show that there are capable to show performance in the level of Galatasaray. Hence, it could be expected that Basaksehirspor would be showing much more aggressive and organised game compare to previous one but it is uncertain if that could be enough to get win against Galatasaray due of quality factor. Stating that, Galatasaray have players in its disposal with players to change game and found goals even when things are not going well and hence Galatasaray defenders would need to stay focussed for 90 minutes.
it would be hence be expected to Basaksehirspor to show better performance compare to recent games against Galatasaray but would be enough to get to semi-final is not unclear.
