What happened in Turkish football today? 16/03/2024



Besiktas continues showing poor performance on the field.

Besiktas continues with getting losing points during Super League campaign as it did lose to Antalyaspor this with 2:1 scoreline with pretty dramatic penalty kick from Milot Rashica who did slide and touched ball twice when taking it.

As it is known, Besiktas did come with poor performance in recent weeks and hence even through on paper it did look to be favourite, it didnt come out with much hopes as its performance continues to be declined at the league and hence this has been case as Antalyaspor did provide pretty strong and attacking game especially during 1st half as it did found an early goal on 5th minute with Balci and did control game and making 2:0 scoreline. Once again, Besiktas did raise its performance during 2nd half as it did get much more chances and did find an early goal in start of 1st half but it wasnt enough with Milot Rashica making unexpected lucky moment as player has been slided when hitting ball.

Antalyaspor as been noted did show high tempo performance with aiming to show positive football and getting further from relegation zone and it has continued in such performance as it did look better and did want to win game.

Besiktas hence continues its poor performance and did have issues to show strong game at the field and it does look like for Besiktas that end of the season would be difficult for team.

Fenerbahce would be aiming to continue its title race aims against Trabzonspor.

One of the most anticipated games during this week without doubt is being Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor as it would be very important game for both sides for different reasons as Fenerbahce would be continuing its title race while Trabzonspor will aim to secure its 3rd spot even more.

It also needs to be reminded that during this season Fenerbahce did lose only one game and this being against Trabzonspor at home ground so to some extend Fenerbahce would be seeing this game as an opportunity to get revenge and also carry on winning run and fight for title race. Fenerbahce also needs to be mentioned didnt lose too much energy during game against Royale Union and hence it would not be expected to be too tired and also did have some rotations on that game. Trabzonspor on their part would be extra motivated as always to game against Fenerbahce and this be able to provide extra push especially coming from its supporters.

Fenerbahce hence could be seen as favourite for this game but it would not be an easy game as it would also play against team which will be highly motivated.

Galatasaray will come out as favourite in the game against Kasimpasa but it would be tough for sure.

Galatasaray would be aiming to carry on its winning run and make one step closer for league title as it would be playing against Kasimpasa which is also being in good form and currently fights for European league spots at the league.

Even through Galatasaray does look to be favourite for the game,it should be noted that Kasimpasa does provide some good performance and does get results and hence it would be coming to get some good result with providing positive game. Therefore, it is expected for them to give some problematic minutes but still Galatasaray which does manage to get wins in last weeks with good and not so good performance would be aiming to find goals and get control of the game in such crucial game. It would be expected for side to look for once again for an early goal. 

Galatasaray therefore would be coming as favourite but it would be tough game for them without doubt.
