Galatasaray loss has identifed reasons why Turkish clubs cant become top European clubs.
Galatasaray has lost to Bayern Munich with 3:1 scoreline despite of showing pretty effective performance for 70 minutes especially during 1st half and quality factor, not being to convert chances and also not being able to provide top level performance for 90 minutes did cost side a win.
It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray without doubt did provide top level performance and did give some very difficult moments towards Bayern Munich but in same time it did show an issues which Galatasaray has to become top level European club and this is being case for all Turkish clubs. Foremost, Galatasaray didnt manage to convert their chances which they did get in 1st half and if you dont use this chances, opponent like Bayern Munich would punish you even if they show poor performance in overall as they did during this game. Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk also played for this scoreline as he is being late to make some changes and an excuse that goals came when he was planning to substitute actually provides view of not able to reading this game in particular.
Galatasaray did provide good performance and they are many aspects where it should be happy and be praised for, but it needs to identify and find solutions which led for loss of game.
Besiktas must win Bodo/Glimt to prevent more pressure which it has.
Besiktas will be coming back to Europa League game against Bodo/Glimt as it would be also first European game following dramatic loss to Lugano which did lead for resignation of Senol Gunes and decision to call for early CEO election.
Besiktas as it is known are going through difficult period both mentally and also physically which has been seen in recent games especially during derby game against Galatasaray. Not being to end group stage, not mentioning able to come from group, at Conference League would be seen as big failure for the team even in current condition and hence this game would be must-win for Besiktas and even through it would provide some amount of pressure to Burak Yilmaz if Besiktas would focus entirely to game it should be able to get win to all respect to Bodo/Glimt. Stating that with Besiktas having so much pressure and not showing good performance, would make it tough game as opponent would see this game as opportunity to get good result.
Besiktas are being in difficult condition right now without doubt and this game would be good opportunity to bounce back but it would be very tough for sure.
Fenerbahce are being clear favourites but it might need to give more effort compare to previous games at group.
Fenerbahce would be aiming to continue its winning run froms start of the season this time playing with probably toughest opponent at this stage Ludogorets as it seeks for 18th win back-to-back in all competition.
When we mentioning Ludogorets toughest opponent at the group, it shouldnt be mistaken that opponent is being in capacity to provide some issues to Fenerbahce but only that its being 2nd strong side at the group stage. Fenerbahce does have strong experience and quality players which could show confident performance and would be expected to win once again without much problems with only issue could be that it might not get into chances as easy as on previous games at the group and might need to be more careful at defence. In general, Fenerbahce are being clear favourites but it might need to give more effort to get that win compare to previous games in group.
Ludogorets would for sure aim to provide bounce back from losing to Nordsjaelland with 7:1 on previous game but Fenerbahce should be getting win in the end of the day.
