Fenerbahce has reduced chances for title from very thin to almost impossible.
Fenerbahce has made their title chances, which arleady been pretty vague, even more difficult after ending Konyaspor game with goalless draw as Istanbul giant did look to be demotivated during game while Konyaspor did get crucial point for survival at the league.
Fenerbahce was without doubt aiming to get win in such crucial game and keep their title chances alive and also provide view that it would be fighting until last minute of the game including game against Galatasaray, however generally factor of 4 points between clubs and also Galatasaray beating Sivasspor with 6:1 did have an impact to mentality and psychology of the team as even through it has been side which did control game, it didnt provide strong fighting spirit even through it did get 2-3 chances which could be seen as goal chances. It is true that Konyaspor which did play for survival did provide good defensive game but usually Fenerbahce was capable to find solutions but it did lack that. Fenerbahce still has title chances, even through are being very low, but with such psychological condition its not even clear if it would use this chances.
Coming to Konyaspor, it has got very important point at the race for survival and could even won game if it provided higher tempo of the game as it got 2 point advantage from relegation zone and has gained an important confidence prior crucial survival game against Samsunspor.
With 6 point difference from Galatasaray and 3 weeks to go, with one of them against them at away game, mathematically has some chances for title but this could be achieved if Galatasaray losses points at least 6 points.
Galatasaray is showing dominant performance as we enter to last 3 weeks.
Galatasaray has got pretty an easy win against Sivasspor with 6:1 scoreline which did come both from Istanbul giant being specifically detirmined to win game and make an important step for title and also pretty poor game from Sivasspor.
As it became pretty normal recently, Galatasaray has once again won an opponent with a confident result and game at the game which was expected to be tough as Sivasspor didnt lose for 5 weeks prior to this game. Following slow and controllable game from Galatasaray for first 10 minutes, Galatasaray has reached tempo and dominance which did lead them to find 6 goals as Sivasspor did make lots of mistakes and hardly had possession of the ball with scoring goal has been only shot into goal more or less. Galatasaray is not only winning games in recent weeks but is doing that with dominant performance and hence it is moving closer and closer for title as there is possibility for them to win title next week.
Galatasaray did tend to raise tempo during games as entering to last weeks and with such performance it doesnt like it would have issue but again this is football and it cant relax until it gets title.
Besiktas would give its all against Ankaragucu to get to Turkish Cup final.
Besiktas has been seeing Turkish Cup as its only last chances to end season at the top following such poor season and it would be aiming to use its home advantage against Ankaragucu during 2nd leg with goalless aggregate scoreline.
Besiktas it needs to be mentioned continues to be showing its poor performance in recent weeks but did show one of the best performances in this season against Rizespor and this result would provide needed confidence and motivation prior to such crucial game and it would need to be showing once again good and strong performance. Role of supporters would also play an important role, as during this season it has been mainly remembered with showing strong protest chant but in this game it would be needed to provide strong push and make players fight even more for final.
Besiktas are seeing this game as saviour of such poor season and hence it would be expected to show strong attacking game for sure.
