Besiktas starts league with Fatih Karagumruk win thanks to Fernandes goal
Besiktas starts its new season with 1:0 win against Fatih Karagumruk even through it needs to be mentioned that Istanbul giant didnt provide necessarily dominating game and has struggled to raise tempo of the game.
It needs to be mentioned that prior to game and looking at 2nd half performance of Besiktas it has been provided much more attacking game looking for chances but still did lack to create positions. It needs to be mentioned that Ataturk Olympic Stadium when being almost empty does provide negative impact towards players which tends to affect negatively to motivation and concentration of the game and this has been issue which Besiktas without doubt it has been got into as it did failed to get some good chances and did provide pretty passive game. This to some extend has also affected with penalty kick of Vincent Aboubakar who didnt provide very good shot onto goal with weak shot which Fatih Karagumruk got an easy save. Stating that, Gedson Fernandes did come at crucial moment of 88th minute with both great organisation and shot and hence has helped side to get an important win which would provide motivation and confidence for rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Fatih Karagumruk on their part did provide some good performance with looking into opportunities and creating ones and to some extend has been closer for a win during 1st half but did lack last touches but it could be stated that side which were seen to lose its strength did provide some good resistance to Besiktas.
Besiktas even through did provide slow tempo game and lacked some creativity in the attack it has found a good goal from Gedson Fernandes and did get a difficult away game due of stadium despite of not having good performance in league opener.
Fenerbahce has lost concentration after opponent got red card
Fenerbahce had a strong and confident start to the Super League opening week game against Gaziantep as it did find 2 goals within 25 minutes thanks to the Edin Dzeko but as opponent player Maxim got red card in strange manner Fenerbahce had decline of performance.
Finding two early goals and also red card of Maxim has provided psychological negative impact as players has saw game as gainer and hence reduced tempo and control of the game which led to concede goal in the end of the 1st half and also Gaziantep even finding equaliser as it did rise chances during 2nd half. Such performance from Fenerbahce when quite opposite it needed to provide much more pressure without doubt does raise question into mentality and physicality of the side and an area would need to specifically focus after this game. Still, Fenerbahce did get an important win and things did turn into bad side as potentially could happen.
Fenerbahce did win game but it doesnt mean things did go well as it would now need to find reasons for such unexpected decline of performance.
Galatasaray would provide relaxed but attacking game against Olimpija Ljubjana
Galatasaray would be coming out to 2nd leg game against Olimpija Ljubjana during Champions League 3rd qualifying round game at home ground with 3:0 scoreline as it would be aiming to regain confidence and motivation prior to Trabzonspor game.
If things didnt go surprisingly in bad manner at home ground and Olimpija Ljubjana will not get historical win, it could be mentioned that Galatasaray are getting slowly to play-off round of the competition as it would be likely be coming out with some changes but still would be expected to be played at best squad to keep side motivated and ready for Trabzonspor game in upcoming week. Galatasaray would still be expected to dominate game due of quality factor and also Olimpija Ljubjana not having much chance in this tie and hence it could be seen as favourite in this game too.
Galatasaray are coming out as favourites and would be aiming to get win to also help to raise country coefficiency during this stage.
