What happened in Turkish football today? 05/08/2024



Fenerbahce does have capacity to get good result against Lille.

Fenerbahce would be coming out to Champions League 3rd qualifying round 1st leg at away game against French opponent Lille as in all fairness it does have capacity to take advantage scoreline for 2nd leg but it would need to improve compare to its performance against Lugano.

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce which does seek to enter at group stage of Champions League does have squad quality and also head coach Jose Mourinho who is being a winner, but as been noted several times Fenerbahce didnt provide very good performance against Lugano despite of winning both games and hence needs to improve its performance especially at midfield and defence and if it does achieve that during game it wouldbe able to create some chances especially taking account that French sides does have issues at qualifying rounds in recent years and Fenerbahce could use this pressure on opponent as advantage.

Fenerbahce does have quality to get good result in this tie but as been noted it needs to improve its performance. Meanwhile, side would play against winners of Slavia Prague and Royale Union if it goes through.

Galatasaray has drawn against Young Boys.

Galatasaray has been drawn against Swiss champions Young Boys as it would be coming out as favourites as this tie but taking reference Turkish Super Cup against Besiktas, it would need to provide much more effective game.

Young Boys might not be side which does get to Champions League group stage at regular basis but it is being side which does play lots of qualification and hence are familiar in this level of performance hence Galatasaray needs to get full focus into opponent if it doesnt want to get surprise. When looking into quality of the team, it should be able to get positive result as long as it focuses and players does show some good performance especially at the attacking as it would need to provide pressure to Young Boys.

Galatasaray are being favourites but without doubt it would need to stay focussed if it wants to get unwanted result.

Besiktas will play against winners of Partizan and Lugano

Besiktas has been drawn against winners of Europa League tie between Partizan and Lugano as team is being familiar with latter from previous season at same tournament while Lugano did have chance to play against Fenerbahce.

It needs to be stated that Besiktas has shown very promising start of the season against Galatasaray and if it would be able to carry on similar performance until 1st leg of this tie it would be coming out as strong favourites whoever would be opponent. Stating that, there is not much difference at the quality of the stuff as Partizan does look slightly more tougher opponent but still is being side which Besiktas could get good result. Also, in other side of the coin Besiktas wouldnt mind to play against Lugano with seeking to get revenge from last season poor results.

Besiktas hence could be satisfied with this tie especially if it carries on show top level game until game will be played.
