What happened in Turkish footballl today? 23/09/2023


 

Galatasaray has shown strong reaction with win against Basaksehirspor

Galatasaray has got an important win against Basaksehirspor which is being one of the most difficult away games for all big 4 clubs as it has shown pretty strong organised game despite of lacking high tempo performance on the field.

With having difficult game on mid-week against Copenhagen which also for them has been ended with suprising result it has been interesting how would side respond both mentally and physically, and it would be needed to say that it has done in right manner. It could be argued for sure that Galatasaray didnt provide fully dominating game and small signs of tiredness has been shown but this didnt prevent them to show strong and controllable game and in some moments Istanbul giant did get control of the game. Meanwhile, it was important for Hakim Ziyech to find his first goal of the season where he did show his class and this would provide morale and confidence for upcoming weeks as it has high aims for this season. Only issue which could be mentioned that at conceded goal there was loss of concentration including from Fernando Muslera as Galatasaray ex-player Leo Dubois has got goal but after that Galatasaray managed to stay focussed and prevented Basaksehirspor to get draw.

Following poor start for Basaksehirspor, it did get some good results in recent weeks and did come to game with high morale and to some extend it has shown that performance and did provide some issues to Galatasaray but in overall it had problem at matching level which Galatasaray showed during game.

Galatasaray hence did get an important win against one of toughest opponent at this league especially after such dramatic and difficult week it had.

Fenerbahce expected to carry on 100% record with game against Alanyaspor.

Fenerbahce would be aiming to continue its 100% winning run in this season with Super League away game against Alanyaspor and its been favourite to carry on this run even through opponent will provide some problematic moments to the team.

It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce has won 11 out of 11 games both domestically and Europe with some of the games achieving that in confident manner and in some by playing not very well but showing character and detirmanation. It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce is hence would be coming out to the game with high morale and Alanyaspor on other hand is not being side at great form as it performing in all fairness below its capacity so Fenerbahce would be seeing as advantage. It also needs to be reminded that Fenerbahce would be coming out with key attackers who would be rested as they didnt play against Nordsjaelland which would raise their effectiveness at attack.

Hence, with taking all factors Fenerbahce would be coming out as strong favourite but Alanyaspor has potentiality to provide problematic minutes to Istanbul giant.

Besiktas will aim to stop poor results as it would play against in-form Kayserispor.

Super League game against Kayserispor for Besiktas would be very important as among big 4 clubs, it is providing worst performance and are getting worser on the field as last league game it lost to Trabzonspor with 3:0 scoreline and didnt provide very good game against Club Brugge despite of draw.

It also needs to be stated that even through of quality factor, Kayserispor would be coming out in good form against Besiktas and also believing that it could be getting at least draw against Istanbul side. Kayserispor it needs to be mentioned is showing one of its best performance compare to previous season and tries to show positive game where it did achieve to get also positive results. Besiktas meanwhile could be see this game as turning point and aim to get at least win at home ground to regain confidence and motivation which without doubt it urgently needs due of poor results in recent games.

 It is actually difficult to state who is being favourite for this game as Besiktas are being in poor form and Kayserispor are at great form but Besiktas does have quality factor.
