Galatasaray loses its 1st game as key players didnt show its best performance.
Galatasaray loses its first game during this season against tough opponent Hatayspor as it needs to be mentioned that tiredness from Bayern Munich specifically and generally difficult scheduling did affect to this team and also Hatayspor showing strong and organised performance for 90 minutes.
Galatasaray did come to the game in high motivation and did also look into chances but it did fail to provide dominance which has been seen to some extend during this season and also Mauro Icardi either due of tiredness or his pressure given to his injury in this weeks start showing its signs as he didnt provide effective performance with only getting into few chances with lacking strong performance. Another aspect which could have been noted for Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk coming out in same starting 11 in this game as he did play during one away game to another which also has played its factor as he could go to the rotation. Quite possibly Buruk did feel pressure as he did play against good team and doesnt want to lose leadership before national team break but this didnt turned around as he wished at all.
Hatayspor needs to be stated did get important lessons from loss to Fenerbahce at the league as side did provide much more patient and controllable game even through it did look Galatasaray had controlled game and it used counter attacks in more effective manner for sure.
Galatasaray hence did lose its 1st league game so far during this season and now would be waiting for result from Fenerbahce-Adana Demirspor to see if it would stay as leaders.
Trabzonspor gets into winning mentality after Konyaspor game.
Trabzonspor got back-to-back wins after Abdullah Avci has joined team as it played against struggling Konyaspor as it has showed good patient game but possibly still lacks showing dominant game.
Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci after joining team has been focussed to bring winning mentality to the team and also work on the system as he did when he joined on previous and being focussed into defensive game, believing that strong attack does come from specifically defence he does need time to let players play this system and hence game being not very fast tempo does affect game. Another aspect of the game, this has led for Trabzonspor to provide low tempo performance which could be happening in upcoming games including after national team break as system is changing drastically.
Trabzonspor hence did get an important win both for morale and confidence for upcoming games as it would be focussing into improving its performance in national team break.
Fenerbahce would aim to end its unlucky period with tough game against Adana Demirspor.
Fenerbahce would be coming out to very important game against Adana Demirspor as it would be seeking to get win after losing 2 games back-to-back after winning all games prior to that and hence this game would let them to end such unlucky period for them.
With losing 2 games, it is still discussed if team is having into decline with its performance or just going through unlucky period and hence result against Adana Demirspor would provide clear view especially taking account that Adana Demirspor has been seen to be 3rd best team in the league as it stands but it needs to be reminded that it did lose games during last 2 weeks so side is also being on decline. When looking into quality of the squad, Fenerbahce does have slightly better squad which could become clear not and also younger players which could play an important role at defence. Another factor that defensive issues did also affect attacking game despite of controlling game and hence it would be important prior to this game to motivate attacking players as they also being proviiding as been noted not very dominating game.
It is hard to state which team would be clear favourite as both sides are having decline of performance and to some extend attitude which players would give to game would be key issue at who would get 3 point at the end.
