What happened in Turkish football today? 01/09/2023



Trabzonspor got confident 5:1 win after losing 2 league games.

After losing back-to-back in the Super League, Trabzonspor has managed to get win against Kasimpasa with an impressive scoreline of 5:1 at the game where it only had 6 shots but has provided fast attacking game at every position.

It needs to be mentioned that when looking at 90 minutes on both sides and despite of such scoreline it is hard to state that it was high tempo game and that Trabzonspor did actually provide dominating game but what Trabzonspor has managed to do is that it did use its chances very effectively and all of the shots has been dangerous as their were also disallowed goals. It would be also important to note that it does look like Trabzonspor head coach Nenad Bjelica has been aware of defence weaknesses which Kasimpasa has and was working on them. Only negative part of the game for Trabzonspor could be given first minutes of the game where Trabzonspor has failed to prevent Kasimpasa to create number of dangerous chances until it has scored its first goal on 18th minute. It also has been good night for Enis Bardhi who has found 2 goals and hence gained lots of confidence for upcoming weeks.

Kasimpasa meanwhile actually did provide good attacking game especially at the start as it did create some good chances and did provide pressure and in fact did find well-deserved goal when looking on attacking perspective. But this game has been failure in sense of defence as it provided simple chances to Trabzonspor on goal.

Trabzonspor hence did get an important win before national team break after losing 2 games and has managed to do that with scoreline like 5:1 and hence this would lead team to raise its morale and confidence in this national team break.

Besiktas would fight for 1st spot with Club Brugge very likely.

Taking account levels of opponents at the Conference League in generally, it was expected for both Fenerbahce and Besiktas to get relatively easy opponents in the group stage and this has been case with Besiktas getting slightly more difficult group compare to Fenerbahce.

With Besiktas due of low coefficient compare to Fenerbahce did enter to draw at 3rd pot and with an aim to get 1st spot so it wouldnt play 2nd round of the competition it does look like main opponent for that would be Club Brugge as it is not side to be taken as it been developing pretty well and does aim to make competitive side as getting to Conference League would be seen as failure for them without doubt. And it also need to be reminded that it did have some issues with them at once which been seen as surprising result and once again Club Brugge is better side than it was back then and Besiktas surely would fight for 2nd spot against them. Other opponents Bodo/Glimt and Lugano should not provide too much issues but it needs to be focussed.

Hence, it does look like Besiktas would be coming out from group but it does need to focus to get 1st spot at the end of the group.

Fenerbahce can easy make 6 out of 6 from Conference League group

As been noted Besiktas should be able to come out from group, but it does need to be mentioned that Fenerbahce with having advantage of being 1st pot at the draw, did get teams which it shouldnt have much issues with.

Only side which could provide some problems could be seen as Ludogorets which did develop as team pretty lot in recent seasons, but again it would be expected that it would be winning both games but could struggle most there. To all respect towards Spartak Trnava and Nordjaelland, Fenerbahce should not have much issues. Hence, for Fenerbahce aiming for top spot it could provide a possible end group stage with 100%. Fenerbahce performance at qualifying stages, especially against Twente during 1st leg does show that this task could be achieved without much issues.

Fenerbahce hence did get an easy group and if weird things will not happen it should be able to cruise in that group.
