Galatasaray did get win but provides some warning signs with its performance.
Galatasaray has got crucial win against Kayserispor with 2:1 scoreline at home ground and has kept 2 point difference with league leaders Fenerbahce even through side did provide pretty poor performance on the field.
It has been observed during game against Kayserispor that team did look to be under pressure and generally at stressfully which could be due of some players being absent at the squad, Fenerbahce keep on winning and loss of 2 points on previous week. It did find 2 goals from set pieces with 1st goal coming from corner where Nelsson did score from lucky possession as to some it could be seen as own goal from Kayserispor while 2nd half it has found winning goal from penalty kick. Galatasaray hence did have some issues with controlling ball and in fact at the end of 1st half and start of 2nd half, it has been Kayserispor which had possession but it didnt managed to fulfill chances. Galatasaray hence did get an important win to keep its title chances pretty high but it does perform decline of game play due of its absences and this game doesnt provide much positivity on upcoming games.
Kayserispor it needs to be stated did come in poor form with losing last 5 games and did have lots of absences but still team did show some positive attitude and in all fairness it could be mentioned that it has been side to lose 3 points.
Galatasaray did manage to get win but there is decline of performance which could be explained due of some absences and Okan Buruk would need to find solution on how to get maximum performance from available squad.
Fenerbahce got important win at difficult away game.
Fenerbahce has got very crucial and difficult game for its road at title race as it got minumum result from Gaziantep thanks to the header from Irfan Can Kahveci and hence ended 20th week with points advantage over Galatasaray.
It needs to be mentioned that even through with recent performance of Fenerbahce it was expected for them not to have much issues at Gaziantep, it needs to be stated that opponents does tend to provide an organising game especially at home ground. When looking statistically it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce still has been better side and did create some chances but compare to previous games it needed to show some patience which it did and eventually it did find a goal. Winning games which does provide lots of issues would without doubt also provide motivational boost to the team. Meanwhile, it also needs to be mentioned that Leonardo Bonucci performance despite of not getting much job defensively has been very good and did give signs that he would be helpful for team for rest of the season.
Advantage of winning game which it has trouble at would provide lots of morale and confidence for upcoming games and this expected to be case for Fenerbahce in its road for title race.
Antalyaspor has shown that tactical game of Avci is not working at every game.
Trabzonspor as it is known has been criticised for not providing very strong and effective performance during recent weeks despite of winning games and this criticism has been shown to be at place after it lost 2 points to Antalyaspor.
Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci has been focussing into getting results rather than showing effective game which also makes it clear why team has been winning with minumum scoreline of 1:0. It needs to be mentioned that similar case has been in this game as it did find an early goal with Fountas and after that side has been reduced its tempo. Such relaxation and not looking for 2nd goal has led for Antalyaspor to score an equaliser.
Hence, this result has shown to Avci that this mentality that 1:0 is enough to win games without much effort would not work in every game for sure.
