What happened in Turkish football today? 02/05/2023



Fenerbahce would be meeting with Sivasspor, this time at Turkish Cup.

With Fenerbahce getting a confident win against Sivasspor at Super League on weekend, it would be meeting with an opponent this time at Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg as it would be expected to be tougher game.

It is known that Fenerbahce are having some good chances at ending season at the double as it winning Turkish Cup is being on their hand while on league there are also dependance how Galatasaray. It is expected for Fenerbahce to provide strong performance against Sivasspor with an ideal squad, as to get an advantage scoreline towards final game at the 1st leg and also keep its confidence and motivation high prior to Giresunspor league game. It would be missing Enner Valencia but it did show that it is capable at showing top level game with his absence.

Fenerbahce did set an eye for double in this season and hence would be providing strong attacking game with also focus into defence given.

We would see much more willing Sivasspor against Fenerbahce at cup.

As been noted above Sivasspor are expected to be providing much more stronger and effective performance against Fenerbahce at Turkish Cup tie and hence would be expected to be more motivated game.

It needs to be mentioned that Sivasspor would mainly be focussing into solving and provide much aggressive game on attack which it failed to do so with focussing into providing pressure hence task from opponent at defence would be expected to be tougher. Also, Sivasspor continues to be conceding pretty simple goals and this is being an area which it would aim and focus also especially into defensive game. Hence, Sivasspor would be expected to show much more organised performance compare to league game against same opponent on weekend.

We would be expecting to see much more different Sivasspor with providing higher pressure towards Fenebahce goal.

Giresunspor has terminated contract with Hakan Keles

Giresunspor has terminated contract with its head coach Hakan Keles in mutual agreement as it was known that Keles did want to leave club for long time and this time has accepted this resignation.

Hakan Keles in self-aware way did know that he couldnt provide much help to the team in the recent games as side is uncapable to get results and are being on danger of being relegated as it didnt also use opportunities on game against Istanbulspor day before. We did mention that Giresunspor were reluctant to send him away due of condition of the club, but it does look that team did become aware that his stay would provide harm and likely team to be relegated. 

Right now, Giresunspor are likely would be looking for new name who would come to team with being aware of economical condition of the club and act according to that.
