Ankaragucu has been side which did lose opportunity to win against Besiktas.
1st leg Turkish Cup semi-final game between Ankaragucu and Besiktas has been ended with goalless draw with tie would be decided during 2nd half as Ankaragucu has been much more better side especially during 1st half.
With Besiktas showing some significant improvement with Serdar Topraktepe at league game against Ankaragucu, it was expected for Istanbul giant to improve even more but quite opposite has been case as Ankaragucu been much better side with creating some good chances especially during 1st half and has been unlucky to find goal. It would need to be mentioned that Besiktas did raise tempo thanks to substitutes and some tactical changes of Serdar Topraktepe but still it wasnt enough to get upper hand as 2nd half has been balanced. Still, Ankaragucu during this game has send message to viewers, supporters that it does want to play at final game but it would need to find goals during 2nd leg at away game.
Ankaragucu as been noted has been better side during 1st half as it did create lots of chances but couldnt find that crucial goal and did provide some positive view for 2nd leg but it would need to show much more higher tempo and also conversion at the goal.
When looking that Besiktas didnt provide very good performance as it lacked tempo and also didnt much create chances, it could be stated that Besiktas did get tie to its advantage as 2nd leg will be played at home.
Fenerbahce lost crucial 2 points with 5 games left until end of the season.
Fenerbahce has lost crucial points during title race with Galatasaray as it has drawn against Sivasspor with 2:2 scoreline due of controversial penalty decision at the end of the game bring result to draw.
Regardless of penalty decision at the end of the game, it would need to be mentioned that Fenerbahce did look to be negatively affected from Conference League game against Olympiakos as their have shown game which they didnt control game a lot and did make some crucial passing mistakes and has shown most of the time. With taking account that Sivasspor does tend to be team which does show some strong defensive game, scoring 2 goals could be seen as positive factor but conceding 2 despite of 2nd being very controversial would not be acceptable when team is fighting for league title. With this loss of 2 points, point difference with Galatasaray has been rose to 4 points with 5 weeks to go and also winning all games until end of the season could not be enough for title.
Fenerbahce did look to be tired and not much into game and that did cost them crucial loss of 2 points but VAR decision at the end of game did have also direct impact to this draw.
Trabzonspor will be aiming to get advantage scoreline over Fatih Karagumruk
Trabzonspor as it is known does see Turkish Cup as it is main priority for rest of the season and it would be playing against Fatih Karagumruk whose main priority it needs to be mentioned will be to stay at the league in the end of the season.
Trabzonspor even through does fight for 3rd spot at the Super League, it is known that it would be taking Turkish Cup very seriously and it would be playing against Fatih Karagumruk which does have 2 different performance at league and Turkish Cup. Without doubt, Trabzonspor would be coming out in much relaxed manner as would be Fatih Karagumruk and hence would be providing much more attacking game with looking to get advantage scoreline from 1st leg and would likely look for an early goal. Fatih Karagumruk would also play for getting advantage scoreline as it is being semi-final game but there is chance it would go through small rotation.
Trabzonspor would be coming out as favourite in this semi-final tie and hence is expected to show strong confident attacking game.
