What happened in Turkish football today? 27/01/2024

Fenerbahce will seek for early goal to make task for them easier.

Fenerbahce would be continue its title race with home game against Ankaragucu as it would be aiming to carry on its winning run at the season where neither them or Galatasaray could be losing any points. 

Without doubt Fenerbahce would be coming to game as favourites both of its aims, recent forms and quality of the squad but it would be needed to mention that this game would been expected to be going under stressful condition between both sides as Fenerbahce did on previous game. Main reason is there so much at the stake due of reasons which been mentioned however it would be needed to mention that Fenerbahce could be focussing into early goal to make their task easier and hence it would be expected to show an attacking game.  Ankaragucu would be expected in return to show defensive game and look for chances with counterattaks.

Fenerbahce hence would be coming out as favourite but later goal would be coming more tougher the task would be for them to get an easy win.

Besiktas will aim to end unlucky period against Sivasspor but it would be tough.

Besiktas would be aiming to end its winless period at the league with game against Sivasspor but it needs to be mentioned that Sivasspor tends to show organised game against strong sides. 

Besiktas as been noted on our blog several times has ended its honeymoon with Fernando Santos and previous last 2 games has shown that team does have some serious issues with finding goals and occassionally without being to score goals. It would be important for them to end this unwanted period and it would be aiming to do so but it would be difficult to achieve that when looking how team performs in recent weeks.

Hence, Besiktas does go through difficult period at the league and its not clear if Sivasspor would be opponent which could be one to end such period.

Fenerbahce loans Caglar Soyuncu for 6 months

Fenerbahce has loaned Caglar Soyuncu from Atletico Madrid for 6 months as it has strengthed ints defensive line even more as it aims to win title at all tournaments it is right now.

As it is known, one of the main aim of the team is to win league title which it didnt win for very long time and one way to achieve that is to sign Caglar Soyuncu who is being very strong defender and did has proven himself especially at Leicester City. With being close to Turkish football, he wouldnt be expected to have any issues with adaptation especially as he would be meeting again with his old friend Cengiz Under and hence this transfer would be very effective for Fenerbahce and would strength defensive line of team.

Hence, Fenerbahce did make very important transfer with strengthening defensive line of the team.
