Galatasaray returns to league with confident win against Samsunspor
Title holders Galatasaray has returned to Super League campaign with pretty confident win against Samsunspor with 4:2 scoreline but it could be mentioned that it did have little scare in the start of the game but Hakim Ziyech shot from far away which accidently hit got final result.
Coming to the 1st half it could be stated that Galatasaray player Kerem Akturkoglu has taking leading role with finding 2 goals within 30 minutes as Istanbul as been expected has started with strong and attacking game. With getting back-to-back chances, Galatasaray has provided confident dominant game and ending 2nd half with 3:0 scoreline it was foreseen that it has completed its task and could provide game with lower tempo. But Samsunspor has provided pretty confident and strong attacking game with making scoreline to 3:2 and has been looking to get an equaliser but class of Hakim Ziyech and Mauro Icardi has ended that high aim at the game. Galatasaray didnt necesarily provide high tempo and it hard to state that dominated game but apart of start of the 2nd half loss of concentration, it has been side which controlled game and now could be focus to Champions League game against Copenhagen.
Coming to Samsunspor it should be stated that as was expected it did provide some positive game and did find some very good chances among scoring 2 goals and did show its show potential, but quality factor did play crucial role in the final result.
Galatasaray has got an important and pretty confident win at the return of the league which would provide some confidence and motivation for upcoming games both domestically and in Europe.
Both Besiktas and Trabzonspor would surely play for win at old rivarly game.
Besiktas and Trabzonspor would be resuming Super League with an important and tough game against each other as both sides does have long-term arch rivarly and even through this are still being an early stages of the season, both sides need to get win to stay close to top spot.
Besiktas did start season without a loss so far both domestically and also during Conference League qualifying stages but it didnt yet provide necessarily dominant game on the field failing to show high tempo and controllable game for 90 minutes but it needs to be mentioned that quality players especially at attack did help side to get results for almost all the time. Trabzonspor meanwhile needs to be stated did have mix level performance as it didnt start game at good form with getting difficult win against Antalyaspor and then losing next 2 games but did enter to national team break with confident win against Kasimpasa with 5:1 scoreline and hence did provide some positive view for upcoming season. Looking on paper Besiktas does look to be favourite but Trabzonspor does tend to provide different performance against top level sides as it gets extra motivation and it would be expected to do so in this game too.
It would be reasonable hence to expect for this game to be on high level with both sides showing fast tempo game and lots of chances.
Fenerbahce would aim to carrying undefeated run against Antalyaspor.
Fenerbahce would be resumed Super League season as it would be aiming to carry on its undefeated run against Antalyaspor at home ground as its opponents didnt have good start of the season but did make some good transfers during this national team break.
It needs to be mentioned that without doubt so far best start of the season has been seen from Fenerbahce and it would be focussed into carry on providing high level performance and number of players such as Tadic, Dzeko and Szymanski would be aiming to carry on its top level performance. Another significance of this game is that it would be expected to be first game for Livakovic at the goal as there quite naturally high expectations from one of the best goalkeepers of World Cup 2024. Taking account of not very good form of Antalyaspor as been noted, Fenerbahce would be expected to provide dominant game and also would aim to get win without giving too much effort prior to Conference League and hence with help of supporters would be seeking to find an early goal. Antalyaspor would be expected to focus into defensive but as been Fenerbahce does have creative players to pass this defence.
Fenerbahce are seen to be favourites when looking at form and confidence of both sides but Antalyaspor might see this game as restart of season for them in other hand.
