Galatasaray carries on winning in intensive title race.
Galatasaray continues its title race head-to-head race with beating at home ground last placed Istanbulspor with 3:1 scoreline but the factor that opponent is being on last spot and scoreline doesnt provide how game has been played.
It needs to be mentioned that for most amount of the game, Galatasaray did look to be under pressure especially due of risk of losing points in such close race and also conceded goal from counter-attack has also affected game. Another factor which been visible in this game, even through it was known from previous game, is important of Mauro Icardi. Game hence has been played to some extend before and after Icardi as Galatasaray did provide much more confident and attacking game after 70th minute when Icardi did enter to field and has speed up tempo. This game and also Fenerbahce game on previous day did also show that road to league title could be going under lots of pressure as we are entering to final stages of the season and even draw could cost title.
Even through Istanbulspor did lose with 3:1 scoreline it needs to be reminded that team has been improving on previous week and did show that at most amount of the games with showing some signs of tiredness towards end. Still, it does show lots of optimism for upcoming weeks.
Galatasaray hence continues showing an effective game and carries on winning points as its and Fenerbahce as been mentioned cant afford to lose any points for title.
Trabzonspor continues having an issue at attack
Trabzonspor continues showing decline not only with performance but also with scoreline as it lost to Rizespor with 1:0 scoreline at Black Sea region and team continues lacking an organised game.
In positive note, it could be stated that when looking statistically and also position wise Trabzonspor did look to be closer for win but lacking of having players who can make that final touches to get win has affected game as Rizespor did find goal from counter-attack. Trabzonspor therefore among not showing much promising football in all wise and also it is start losing game which does provide also issue of Avci logic of winning games regardless how its done.
Rizespor on their part continues showing good performance and results as it is being on rise and even through it didnt look as active on attack as opponents, it did look to be pretty organised and confident on field.
Trabzonspor despite of losing 2 games back-to-back is still being located at 3rd spot and taking account of getting ticket to Conference League it still has opportunity to improve its performance while having an aim for 3rd spot.
Fenerbahce has given fight to get win against Basaksehirspor
Fenerbahce has got an important win against Basaksehirspor thanks to penalty goal from Michy Batshuayi as it has dominated game from start to an end but did lack last touch which needed to overpass Volkan Bayaraslan.
It needs to be reminded that Basaksehirspor did get red card in the end of 2nd half which led for side to focus into defensive game during 2nd half but still Fenerbahce did get some good attacks and couldnt winning goal. Even through it couldnt be noted that Fenerbahce did look stressful conditions, this was mainly due of fact of struggling to find winning goal as it seemed to be doing everything. This performance could provide some worries to team, especially taking account that it did lose 2 points last week to Samsunspor but Fenerbahce did continue attacking and got penalty kick rightfully as opponent player did touch ball following Szymanski shot. Fenerbahce might have stressful games in upcoming weeks and might not get easy wins as it did on previous week but it still fighting for title in confident manner.
Such wins does provide an extra motivation but also tend to send strong message regarding team performance and hence it should take some notes from Ismail Kartal.
