Galatasaray has got crucial win against Adana Demirspor with good organising game
Galatasaray continues its winning streak at home ground as it has won Adana Demirspor with 3:1 scoreline while its opponent didnt manage to win any games at away during this season.
It needs to be stated that both sides did provide more or less balanced game as both sides did look for chances and also being focussed into defensive and to some extend at first minute Adana Demirspor did look more dangerous. Still, Galatasaray did continue showing organised defensive game and on 22st minute of the game Sacha Boey did find a goal in great organising game. This goal has rose confidence to Galatasaray as it continued providing confident attacking game and has provided some pressure to Adana Demirspor and has found 2nd goal after 7th minute. It needs to be stated that conceded goal from penalty in the end of the half has led for Galatasaray to show controllable game since Adana Demirspor did have potential as it did go forward to opponent as it did pass midfielding area without much issue. Still, Galatasaray focussed defensive game and also good control of the ball helped them to keep scoreline and penalty goal from Mauro Icardi has helped team to get 3 points and raise motivation prior to crucial Copenhagen game.
Adana Demirspor due of recent form did come as underdogs and some uncertainty, but it needs to be mentioned that team did aim to show positive football performance and taking account that it did create some chances it did manage that but did lack last touches at the attack.
Galatasaray hence did get an important game at the week where Fenerbahce would be playing derby game against Besiktas and also regained confidence prior to the Champions League crucial game.
Fenerbahce are favourites at derby when looking at form of the teams.
Fenerbahce would be coming out to derby game against Besiktas at the game which it needs to win if it aims to carry on its race for leadership with Galatasaray and would be aiming to use not so good form of opponent to its advantage.
As old saying goes, there is no favourite team during derby games at all games but when looking at recent form of both sides, Fenerbahce does come out in very good condition despite of playing at home with only issue of opponent which could provide them extra motivation is appointment of new administration team. Fenerbahce also would be coming to very important game in upcoming game against Spartak Trnava to decide its future of European football this season and hence would be aiming to raise confidence and motivation prior to that game. This is also would be first game for Fenerbahce at Istanbul derbies this season so it would be interesting how they would perform.
Fenerbahce are favourites but it would be expected for Besiktas to provide some issues to Fenerbahce during game for sure.
Besiktas will come out for must win to stay at leadership race.
It needs to be stated that this derby game would also decide aims for rest of the season as it is currently being 11 points against Fenerbahce and hence losing this game would mean that it would almost lose chances for title before entering to new year.
With Besiktas coming out to the game which it must-win would provide lots of stressful to the team and hence it would be important for players to keep its confidence and motivation at high spot to get results which it seeking for. Another extra motivation would be appointment of Hasan Arat as Besiktas new CEO in last week and this game has been first game of this new administration. With stadium also expected to be full as all tickets are being sold out, supporters would also provide an important motivational boost. This notes which has been mentioned does put some extra motivation for the players but Besiktas very likely would need to show its best game of the season.
Besiktas will come out to game of either lose and almost ends its title chances or win and keep its chances alive and it would be important how players would respond to such pressure.
