What happened in Turkish football today? 21/05/2023


Besiktas continues winning games despite of losing title chances

Despite of losing any chances for title as Galatasaray did beat Sivasspor on previous night, Besiktas has continued providing strong performance which it has on recent weeks as it got confident 4:1 scoreline despite of getting behind on 19th minute and to some extend has continued similar scenario it did during recent weeks.

It needs to be mentioned that with such win Besiktas has been only side to beat Adana Demirspor on their home ground as it did shown pretty strong performance and didnt look to be heavily affected with losing its hopes for title as it has shown once again fast tempo and positive game as it did provide lots of pressure towards Adana Demirspor during 2nd half. Only issue which has been seen in this game and also in recent games has been for start game in low tempo and getting behind as game would been played in different scenario and with less stress. Still, it was important for Besiktas to get this win as it currently sets an eye for possible 2nd spot as it aims to win rest of the 2 games left in this season.

Adana Demirspor it needs to be mentioned that despite of losing with 4:1 scoreline, it did show strong and positive performance especially during 1st half making it clear why it being side which dominates at home ground and surely would be aiming to end season at high note in upcoming games.

Besiktas hence wasnt affected as been noted with losing title hopes and aims to end season with 100% as 2 games are left for them in this season.

Galatasaray just 1 game away from title.

Following 2:0 win against Sivasspor, Galatasaray are only being 1 win behind of getting Super League 2022-23 season as it has provided strong performance at defence and also strong game both from Mauro Icardi and Torreira has brought this win.

With Galatasaray coming into last stages of the season and aiming not to leave its title hopes for derby game against Fenerbahce, it getting wins which it needs to get title in much more patient and defensive game as it could be understood. With being leaders of the standings and also so close for title, this tactic should be understood as it is being more important to win game rather how game has been achieved. It needs also to be stated that Sivasspor poor performance in the league at recent weeks and possibly focus to Turkish Cup semi-final game against Fenerbahce has led them to provide not very good performance without much focus. 

With Ankaragucu being close but still not securing its position for Super League next season could provide more issues to Galatasaray at away game but still league leaders are favourite in that game meanwhile.

Fatih Karagumruk would aim for win more than Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor which in all honesty has been waiting for end of the season for weeks would be meeting with Fatih Karagumruk which compare to them does provide an effective positive game and this mentality does put them as favourites. 

To some extend, Trabzonspor are playing its last games of this season in friendly manner in sense that it provides Nenad Bjelica to check his current squad to plan summer transfer window and when its opponents are taking games seriously,it leads them to lose points. Fatih Karagumruk during whole season thanks to the Andrea Pirlo mentality does provide positive game and does come out to win game and this would put them as favourite for game.

Fatih Karagumruk are hence are being favourite as compare to Trabzonspor they want to play its final games at high note.
