What happened in Turkish football today? 02/12/2023



Galatasaray has won an important game against Pendikspor thanks to goals on last 20 minutes.

Galatasaray has managed to get an important win against Pendikspor as it found 2 goals in the last 20 minutes with goals from Bakambu and Ziyech as Galatasaray did show signs of tiredness after intense Manchester United game.

It was expected for Galatasaray to show signs of the tiredness after very intense and tiring game against Manchester United at the Champions League and it has been stated in our blog that to all respect to Pendikspor, Galatasaray has been lucky at fixture to meet with such side. It needs to be mentioned that more or less this is scenario which did happen as Galatasaray did struggle to raise tempo of the game and get full dominance as Pendikspor with respect to an opponent has controlled ball more or less and did go creating some chances which led for some good ones including hitting post. Only issue which could be seen in unexpected is due of tiredness it could be expect for Galatasaray to look for an early goal to make its task easier but it didnt do that much and did lacked at showing strong attacking game. Still, with slightly raising tempo of the game in last 20 minutes has been enough for them to get an important win and carry on its exciting for top of the league.

Pendikspor it needs to be mentioned did try to show positive game with looking for chances and in same time showing respect to Galatasaray with being aware of the fact that there is quality factor but still has been case as Bakambu and Ziyech with quality factor has got an important win.

Galatasaray hence did get an important taking account that it has played after very tough game at Champions League but has got win to more or less thanks to fixture of the season.

Besiktas will show different game compare to Club Brugge game

At the time when Ankaragucu and Besiktas would be kicking off, there would be very lucky no administration at the team as current CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi would end officially his reign while results of CEO election unlikely to be clear due of close fight between Serdal Adali and Hakan Arat.

Another factor would be that even through Besiktas did play formality against Club Brugge, losing game with 5:0 could have some psychological impact towards and also motivation so it would be willing to get good result against Ankaragucu and there is possibility that this could lead for Besiktas to be showing much more aggresive game against Ankaragucu but it needs to be mentioned that it is being one of the most difficult away games in the season and also it does have lots of injured players. Besiktas currently does have an aim to show strong game in the league with an aim to reduce point difference with leaders and therefore we could be seeing totally different Besiktas from Club Brugge game. Ankaragucu does aim to show positive game at the league and certainly would aim to do so in this game.

Besiktas does look to be favourite on paper but it wouldnt be an easy game without doubt.

Trabzonspor is expected to focus once again into defence against Kayserispor

Trabzonspor which is getting further from league leaders and also not yet showing strong performance at attacking level, would be aiming to continue still its improvement with Abdullah Avci against Kayserispor.

It is hard to note that Trabzonspor would be aiming much for this reason even through spot for European competitions is still being much arrive, would be aiming to show an improvement with its performance and aim not to lose game at least as it is being undefeated since Abdullah Avci joined team. It needs to be stated that it is expected, as been case with Avci, it would be aiming at defensive game more than attacking game which could once again reduce tempo of Trabzonspor and whole team of Kayserispor as opponents might struggle to go attack with such intense defence.

It is hard to call specific favourite due of low tempo which is expected at game and turning point could be using of key chances which both sides might be getting during 90 minutes.
