What happened in Turkish football today? 28/10/2023



 Galatasaray gets win against Rizespor thanks to Oliviera goal despite of poor game.

Galatasaray has managed to get 1:0 win against Rizespor thanks to the Sergio Oliviera goal on 66th minute despite of team did provide not very effective game but has managed to get crucial win at the game where it had poor game.

It needs to be mentioned that Champions League game on midweek against Bayern Munich was expected to have direct impact for the team both mentally and physically and that has been case as it did manage to provide both strong game and also didnt get control of the game. In fact, Rizespor during bothI halves did look to be creating much more dangerous chances but couldnt pass either goalkeeper Fernando Muslera or didnt provide good shot and in some occassions last touches to create chance. Therefore, this game would be seen as an important extra 3 points for Galatasaray as it did get win with poor game. To some extend, goal coming from substitute Sergio Oliviera also make this factor clear as fresh legs did play an important role in 2nd half as opponent has also become tired.

It needs to state that Rizespor did look to be more focussed and dangerous during this game but it has failed to convert chances at attacks with rather undecisive passes, strong shots and also not being going through Muslera. In short, Rizespor not being converting chances did cost them possible win for the game.

Galatasaray hence did get win with providing poor performance at one of difficult away games and since would see this win as an extra point without doubt and still needs to get important lessons from this game.

Republic 100th anniversary would give extra motivation for team.

Fenerbahce would be aiming to get 19th win out of 19 against struggling Pendikspor during Turkish Republic 100th anniversary which could also provide extra motivation to players for sure.

Fenerbahce has been referring itself as side which is being strong support of Kemalist ideology and has always identified with Turkish Republic first president Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and hence playing on Republic Day would provide strong motivation and confidence. Among that, Fenerbahce would be coming out as strong favourites as even through Pendikspor did manage to provide some good performance occassionally especially during big 4 clubs, Fenerbahce quality factor would be expected to provide some confidence. Meanwhile, football field which it would been played of Pendik has been highly discussed as it has low capacity football field but it is unlikely to affect negatively to team.

Hence, it could be stated for sure that Fenerbahce would be coming out as strong favourite and for sure Republic 100th anniversary would have extra motivation to team.

Trabzonspor will be aiming to get win this week with strong quality game.

Trabzonspor would be aiming to get back-to-back wins with Abdullah Avci as his 1st game been on previous game against Alanyaspor but it would also interesting if team would improve its performance.

Even through Trabzonspor did manage to get win against Alanyaspor during 1st game of Abdullah Avci it needs to be stated that it didnt show very strong performance and in all fairness did win with some luck as goal did come from own goal. Fatih Karagumruk as side is not being at great form when looking generally but did show also some good performance on previous week and would be aiming to show some strong and effective game and seeking for win. Therefore, both sides would be coming out to game to start new streak and this would affect into quality game hopefully on positive manner.

Trabzonspor did get crucial win in previous week but now it would be seeking to win with strong game also.
