Fenerbahce keeps its title hopes alive with win against Besiktas.
Fenerbahce keep their title chances alive with 4 weeks to go until end of the week as point difference has been reduced once again to 4 points after pretty strong and confident win against Besiktas with 2:1 scoreline while opponent chances for 3rd spot has been reduced.
Fenerbahce without doubt did have two messages which it has aimed to send against Besiktas which to show strong recovery following unexpected draw against Sivasspor on previous week and also prove that it is still fights for title with Galatasaray. With Fenerbahce has been expected to be favourite and it performed in such manner from 1st minute as it did get control of the game and with good performance from opponent goalkeeper Mert Gunok couldnt find goal until 30th minute but did eventually find an opener with great shot from Michy Batshuayi. It needs to be mentioned that also red card from Al Musrati did make task easier for Fenerbahce to win this derby game but it did perform better before that card and has been closer for win. Despite of conceding goal also in 82nd minute goal, it did have some nervous moments but still it could be mentioned that it did look to be confident side which would be able to get win at the game.
Looking into how team performed in recent weeks and general Besiktas did come out to the game as underdogs but this game has been important for them to provide some good result at derby game and also carry on race for 3rd spot and even through it is been visible that Besiktas did come out to get good result, its form and capacity of both sides has affected to the outcome and also red card did affect performance even through great goal from Cenk Tosun should be praised.
Hence, Fenerbahce did get an important win at this derby game and sends message to Galatasaray that it didnt yet give up for its title race as point difference between both sides is being 4 points with 4 weeks while Besiktas chances for 3rd spot are getting slimmer.
Galatasaray got morale boost with win against Adana Demirspor
Galatasaray has made a crucial step for winning at the end of the season, as it kept 4 point advantage at the title race with 4 weeks with winning Adana Demirspor at away game where Fernando Muslera has played important role to win game.
Even through Galatasaray has won Adana Demirspor with confident scoreline of 3:0, it is hard to state that gamewise it did get that win with confident game development as main role has been played with Fernando Muslera once again taking leading role with his saves and also quality factor which did show from great shots. For most time the game has been played in between especially when game has been played with 0:0 scoreline and Adana Demirspor did get some very good chances but didnt convert it. This result without doubt would be seen as very important win morally as it did get win with confident scoreline against one of diffult games left in the end of the season.
Galatasaray currently is being at control for its fate to win title or not and key issue here is for team to stay focussed and perform similarly for upcoming 4 games.
Trabzonspor will aim to raise its advantage for 3rd spot with game against Gaziantep
Trabzonspor would be aiming to raise its point difference for 3rd spot against its opponent Besiktas and Basaksehirspor as it would be playing against side which aims to stay at the league Gaziantep.
Even through Trabzonspor does look to be in advantegous condition for 3rd spot race, it does provide unstable performance in recent weeks and it would be one of the questions if it would be showing good performance or not but it does get good opportunity as it playing against side which are not good form but in same time this could provide some issues as team would give its all as it is being as mentioned must win team.
Trabzonspor are being favourites for this game and if it would provide good focus and concentration to the game it could get win which would give them important advantage for 3rd spot race.
