What happened in Turkish football today? 27/10/2023



Besiktas has shown very ineffective game against Bodo/Glimt.

Besiktas continues its poor and ineffective performance both domestically and in Europe as it lost to Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt with 3:1 scoreline and has put into difficulty into getting play-off stage at the competition.

Even through Besiktas has been seen as favourite in this group stage at normal circumstances, taking account general form and performance of the team in recent weeks, it sadly needs to be mentioned that Bodo/Glimt did come out to the game as favourites and differences between team has been very visible. With both sides coming to the game with 1 points, it was game which both sides needed to win but when looking at game it did look like Norwegian side has been more aware of this. Besiktas didnt get any control of the game for 90 minutes and didnt look strong both in defence and attack. Team fails to show any strong team work. It also important to note that taking account that Burak Yilmaz does lack any experience in head coach role, it would not be right to throw blame towards himself but more towards whole team which did throw him into such situation in this period.

Besiktas is also being 12 points behind of league leaders Fenerbahce and being on edge to be relegated from Conference League and hence in such early stage of season its getting close to be side without much aims.

Fenerbahce wins games even when it has drop of performance.

In other side, Fenerbahce continues showing strong and dominatiing game as it found 3:1 win against Ludogorets and even through it wasnt been a best game during this season it still means it continues its 100% record.

Fenerbahce is in such condition right now that even when it does provide drop of performance and dominance at 90 minutes, its still continues to win games and doesnt show any signs of slowing down. Fenerbahce it also needed to be reminded did come out with 2nd squad more or less as Miha Zajc and Michy Batshuayi are not being in great form for not playing in recent weeks and despite of that did been scorers at the field. It also needs to be reminded that even through Ludogorets is not in level of Fenerbahce, it is still 2nd strongest side at the group and needed to show reaction with new coach which also had affect into how game has been played. 

Fenerbahce does have quite naturally drop of performance level as it did against Ludogorets but most important its still manages to win even when that happens.

Galatasaray physical condition will affect Rizespor performance.

Galatasaray would be resuming Super League season with an away game agaisnt Rizespor who does provide mixture of performance and it would be interesting to see how Galatasaray would respond from tiring game against Bayern Munich.

It needs to be mentioned that Bayern Munich game could affect both mentally as it did lose game in good performance and without doubt physically and it would be interesting to see how it would have effect towards game performance against Rizespor. Another factor is that it is being unclear if Mauro Icardi would be in starting 11 as he did play against Bayern Munich until needless in pretty risky decision and it is being unclear if team would risk him once again. With all this taking account, Rizespor could be seeing this an opportunity and hence would be playing with respect to opponent but might get chance to get win if it sees that Galatasaray are not providing its best performance.

Galatasaray are being favourites but its physical condition following Bayern game would have direct impact how it would perform.
