What happened in Turkish football today? 25/11/2023



Galatasaray got confident win against Alanyaspor prior to Manchester United game.

Galatasaray has got a confident win at home ground against struggling Alanyaspor with 4:0 scoreline win as it continues its undefeated home run during this season with providing full dominance of the game.

Even through, Galatasaray did get a confident win with result and performance it does need to be mentioned that opening goal which been scored by Mauro Icardi did come pretty late when looking how game has been developing as it did come out on 37th minute. It needs to be stated that with having tough and very important game against Manchester United in mid-week it was clear that Galatasaray did look for an early goal which could lead for side to show rush game in attack. However, when it did find goal on 37th minute followed with Mertens on 45th minute has made stuff easier as among poor game of opponent they also has become unmotivated which led for Galatasaray to carry on dominant and confident game on 2nd half with finding another 2 goals and on 70th minute has ended game.

Even through Alanyaspor has been struggling during this season, it still was expected to show some more stronger performance especially taking account that it does take some good results against opponent. However, apart of few chances it didnt show any upper hand and does provide some worrying views for upcoming weeks.

Galatasaray did get pretty confident and dominant win with only negative side for 1st goal coming so late but it did reach its aim and now can focus to Manchester United game.

Fenerbahce will be aiming to get good win against Fatih Karagumruk.

Fenerbahce would be aiming to carry its exciting race of leadership with Galatasaray, as it would be coming out game against struggling Fatih Karagumruk as opponent is not being able to show performance which it has shown in previous seasons.

Even through Fenerbahce did enter to national team break as league leaders, they didnt manage to win last 3 games including Conference League game after having 100% record and hence this game would be also chance for Fenerbahce to get into winning run once again and most importantly to regain confidence and motivation of the squad which naturally did been reduced with recent results. Still and to all respect towards Fatih Karagumruk they are being side which could help them to get into such results at the end of the day. Still, Fatih Karagumruk it needs to be remembered that squad of opponent is not too poor and are capable to show some strong confident performance on the field so Fenerbahce which still has injured defenders needs to be careful during game.

Fenerbahce are being favourites despite of poor results in recent weeks but it would need to improve its attacking game which did show some decline before national team break.

Riza Calimbay has opportunity to show first time of game which he seeks for with Besiktas

With Riza Calimbay working for 2 weeks during national team break with Besiktas, we would be able to see for first time at least some signs of kind of game which Calimbay would be aiming for tactically.

With providing some respect towards Burak Yilmaz, Riza Calimbay has shown some criticism, right ones but now Calimbay would be able to show his class and raise of performance of his team with much better effective performance against Samsunspor. Despite of being bottom half of the table and new comers Samsunspor, it is being side which does aim to show some good game especially after appointment of Marc Gisdol and hence it would be seeking to provide some prevention for Besiktas to feel confident but due of class difference and quality factor between both sides, it is still Besiktas expected to be coming as favourites as it aims to reduce point difference with league leaders at short notice.

Besiktas does come out as favourites and expected to show much more stronger and effective game on field but Samsunspor has its own plans to prevent that for sure.
