Galatasaray is in much better condition than Besiktas currently.
Loser of the derby game between Galatasaray and Besiktas has been more affected from this outcome, as Besiktas did is being 9 points behind Galatasaray after losing 2:1 and could be potentially end week with 11 points behind Fenerbahce if latter win Hatayspor on 22nd October.
It needs to be mentioned that game has started at fast tempo with both sides did look for chances and did create them however as the game progressed Galatasaray did get control of the game and slowly started dominating game back-to-back with creating some very good chances which has led for an opening goal from Mauro Icardi on 26th minute. That goal without doubt has raised confidence to Galatasaray as it started creating much mroe chances but it also needs to be mentioned that red card of Mert Gunok did make things easier for Galatasaray. However, it did concede goal during 2nd half with good counter-attack of opponent which did come when Galatasaray did some relaxation but it needs to be stated Galatasaray did find goal from questionable penalty. It could be noted that Galatasaray did show tempo which been seen on previous game but it has been enough to beat Besiktas.
When looking into how both sides did perform during 90 minutes, it could be mentioned that level of preparedness and quality has been clear as Besiktas wasnt able to play at same tempo as did Galatasaray and did make lots of mistakes. It needs to be stated not to much criticism should be given however to Burak Yilmaz as it has only been his 2nd game as head coach and it is being his first derby game naturally. Besiktas hence did lose from poor form which it has in full season, lack of quality compare to opponent and also inexperience of head coach which likely did play direct role for the result. Besiktas needs to be stated did come with willingness and did show strong character when its been with 1 men, and hence there couldnt be given too much criticism towards willingness of player. Besiktas now finds itself 9 points behind current leaders Galatasaray which did drop their chances for title much less but in positive note it did provide crucial derby experience to Burak Yilmaz.
Galatasaray did look to be better side on the field and has shown strong attacking game which led them to get 2:1 victory and hence also get crucial confidence prior to Bayern Munich while Besiktas did show its not in level to play against such opponent.
Fenerbahce will be meeting with undefeated Hatayspor at crucial league game.
Fenerbahce would be aiming to carry on its impressive winning run against Hatayspor during Super League 9th week but it would be also among most toughest game since start of the season as their opponent is being among 3 clubs which didnt lose game during this season.
Fenerbahce is being one of the most in form side at the league and also would be at high confidence as it would be playing against team which is being coaching by legendary player for Fenerbahce, Volkan Demirel which without doubt would be an emotional game for both side. Even through and do all respect to Hatayspor, they are being as been noted one of the undefeated sides but it does have lots of draws and has failed to get high tempo so it would be also crucial for Hatayspor in what form they would be coming but stating that when looking into quality and also recent results at the league would also put Fenerbahce to be favourites for the game. It also needs to be stated that Fenerbahce players did have good performance at national team duty and hence would be returning to league at high confidence mood.
Fenerbahce hence would be coming as favourites but it would be playing against side which didnt lose game in this season so it turn out to be tough game for them.
Fenerbahce interested to sign Jonathan Burkadt
It is reported that Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Mainz 05 player Jonathan Burkadt during mid-season transfer window in place of Michy Batshuayi who is expected to be leaving side during mid-season transfer window.
It is reported that Batshuayi is being unhappy at the team for not getting enough playing time during of players like Edin Dzeko being main player and hence he does consider to leave team during mid-season transfer window which did leave for Fenerbahce to look for alternatives names and one of the first names has been Mainz 05 player Jonathan Burkadt who could be very good alternative at the attacking level and being player with high potentiality and since he is not yet in level of star player he would not provide much issue for being mainly at substitute and opposite would be willing to get experiece at such squad very likely.
With Michy Batshuayi likely to leave side during mid-season transfer window it does look like replacement for him would be among most discussed transfer talks in winter which we would follow on our accounts.
