What happened in Turkish football today? 19/01/2024



Galatasaray youth players did show good performance against Umraniyespor.

Galatasaray has got pretty confident win against Umraniyespor with Kerem Demirbay becoming star player of the game as he provided 3 assists while team did return from being behind 1:0 to win game with 4:1 scoreline.

As would been expected, this game has been an opportunity for younger players to show themselves to Okan Buruk as some players who dont get lots of playing time did get an opportunity to show themselves and it needs to be mentioned that most of the players did great job especially youngsters. It needs to be reminded that an own goal which has been scored from Galatasaray did come from Baris Alper Yilmaz but after scoring an own goal he has shown great reaction and did find goal himself. After that goal, it needs to be stated that Galatasaray did get full control of the game among possession with scoring other 3 goals and raising confidence prior to Trabzonspor game at league.

Even through some players didnt show great performance which been expected from them, in overall Galatasaray did show strong and confident performance.

Trabzonspor continues its aim to win Turkish Cup after beating Manisa FK.

Trabzonspor as it is known is taking Turkish Cup pretty seriously during this season especially after almost losing chances for league title and this has been reflected with its performance against Manisa FK.

Trabzonspor players has been focussed into game against Manisa FK in right atittude and did find an early goal with Fountas and even through it did concede in short period after that, players once again has got into seriousness of this game and did provide effective strong attacking game which been raised with tempo and dominance as it did find 2 more goals which led team to win game with 3:1 scoreline. It needs to be mentioned that players did look to be focussed for most part of the game into set task and would make Avci satisfied with both performance and result as team would now focus to Galatasaray game.

Trabzonspor are taking Turkish Cup pretty seriously and this has been seen with its performance against Manisa FK for sure.

Besiktas expect to dominate against Pendikspor

Besiktas would be aiming to carry its effective performance in the league since appointment of Fernando Santos with game against Pendikspor where it would be coming as clear favourite.

It needs to be mentioned that confidence at the team is being at the highest level right now since start of the season as did score 11 goals in last 3 games and with all respect to Pendikspor, Besiktas will not be having much issues with them and would be expected to get confident and clear win with attention would be given towards Semih Kilicsoy who would be expected once again to show strong confident performance. Pendikspor meanwhile if it wants to get something from this game would need to focus into showing strong defensive game. 

Besiktas hence are coming out to game as strong favourites and expect to dominate game from start to an end.
