Fenerbahce got an important confidence boost with win against Gaziantep.

 

Fenerbahce has got a confident win against Gaziantep who has been in very good performance and didn’t lose a game with Burak Yilmaz for 7 weeks as team is getting much more closer to the game which has been seeked from Anderson Talisca,

 

It needs to be stated that when looking at 90 minutes, this has been one of the most calmest game for Fenerbahce as It did control game from the kick-off not providing any signs of control towards Gaziantep with goal as early as 2^nd minute has also played a possible factor for Fenerbahce as Gaziantep has been affected negatively effectively. It also needed to be stated that this has been possibly 1^st time where Fenerbahce did show an attacking focussed game which has been awaited from Fenerbahce supporters. It has been also important for Youssef En Nesyri and Anderson Talisca scoring 2 goals each and gettingg confidence boost prior to Besiktas and generally as those players are having high awaiting and expectations when being into attacking of the whole team.

 

There were much more expectations from Gaziantep as didn’t lose game with Burak Yilmaz during last 7 games but an early goal and also effective game in all field has prevented them to show good game. Even through of result, Gaziantepwould need to make this game to be behind them and focus to upcoming games starting new undefeated run.

 

Fenerbahce did get most clear win since start of the season and has send an important message to both struggling Besiktas and also sides above them with also getting important confidence boost.

 

Galatasaray carries on its unefeated run with win against Goztepe.

 

Galatasaray carries on its undefeated run at the Super League after beating Goztepe at the home ground with 3:1 scoreline despite of getting behind on early minutes as opponent red card has helped side.

 

It was  expected to be tough game for Galatasaray taking account that Goztepe is being one of the most roganised sides at the league and also tiredness from Bodo/Glimt game and it has been case as it didn’t get control of the game which was expected as Goztepe did find some chances and did get some chances as game progressed for sure as red card from Goztepe did play an important role in the game development without doubt. It also need to be mentioned that introduction of Mauro Icardi during 2^nd half has also helped team to show much more stronger attacking game among detirmanation and belief from Galatasaray has been raised.

 

As it is known, Galatasaray would be meeting with 2^nd placed opponent Trabzonspor as it would be pretty tough game so league leaders did get some motivation boost for that game.

 

Besiktas struggles to find solutions for its poor performance.

 

Besiktas carries on its unstable performance withclear lack of motivation and confidnence as it has drawn against Kasimpasa with 1:1 scoreline as opponent also having problematic season without doubt.

 

Besiktas did start game in good manner as it did find opening goal in early minutes and did control game in good manner but as game progressed it did lose that dominance which been mentioned as Kasimpasa started showing much more brave game which led for Claudio Winck. Besiktas carries on showing poor performance and more worrying it doesn’t show any signs that this issue would be solved in near future as Sergen Yalcin does state himself to be case at press conferences including following this game. Besiktas needs to find way to show more attacking and dominant game but before that and more importantly it needs to go through psychologically barrier it has.

 

Besiktas hence are struggling so far this season and does look to have similar fate as past season as being out of title race as early as end of 1^st half of the season.

Trabzonspor has both got confident result and performance.

 

Trabzonspor carries on its improving performance and momentum it got behind them from recent weeks as it got confident win against Kayserispor with 4:0 scoreline and has send strong message for its aims for top spot.

 

At the league, where you cant afford to lose any points if wanting to win title, Trabzonspor ha s managed to get 2 wins back-to-back and also showed before that good performance against Fenerbahce and as team side is improving and has controlled for most amount of gam eeven through it did lose some dominance at the end of 1^st half. Without doubt finding such great goals from all 4 players would provide for sure confidence towards players and would be showing confident performance. During last week it was criticised that team is being related heavily to Onuachu but today performance even if opponent is not being very strong that is capable to show strong dominant wth teamwise.

 

Kayserispor meanwhile carries on showing poor performance as it didn’t provide any pressure towards Trabzonspor and also defensively didn’t prevent much its opponents. This national team break would be great opportunity for side to identify those weaknesses and work on them for upcoming games.

 

Trabzonspor without doubt has send strong message of being one of the candidates for title race as among winning games it also starts showing nice and strong performance as side gets closer to Fatih Tekke wanted team.

 

Fenerbahce got an important win against Nice at Europa League

 

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Nice at Europa League during league stage 2^nd week game at the game where Kerem Akturkoglu has become star player at home ground as he has shown how hungry he was for goal with his celebration.

 

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce is slowly started showing performance which has been awaited from them since start of the season and especially after Saran has become CEO and earlier Tedesco appointment as head coach. Fenerbahce it needs to be mentioned didn’t yet shown its best performance during game and it needs to be stated that Nice didn’t come to game at great condition, but it was important to see some structure to be formulated at the team and its been case as team did provide some strong attacking game with Akturkoglu finding great 2 goals with looking and creating chances for himself. Fenerbahce lost that effective game during 2^nd half which could be related from tiredness of intense training sessions.

 

Fenerbahce has continued its momentum which it got from previous game and likely would add on this and aim to show good performance against Samsunspor.

 

Samsunsor get an important win against Legia at Conference League.

 

Samsunspor has got perfect start at the Conference League as it got 1:0 away win against Polish experience side Legia Warsaw as it did win with possibly most difficult opponent at the league stage from them.

 

With Samsunspor quite understandably did come out to provide more organised defensive game, it has been important for them to find an early goal which did come as it was also visible that their did come out with such plan as they got back-to-back chances and eventually scored at 10^th minute.Samsunspor in following minutes did provide some strong defensive game without leading their opponents to get clear chance and when it did its goalkeeper Orkun Kokcuh did do their part. Hence, with good and strong defensive game, Samsunspor has got well-deserved win which would lead them into advantae for rest of the league stage.

 

Among getting advantage this result would also raise motivation and confidence which would have positive impact with upcoming games.
