I think that the Trabzonspor - Galatasaray match can be full of surprises. Because I don't see a very clear favourite side of this match. Trabzonspor haven't been doing well lately. They lost to FC Copenhagen and Antalyaspor recently and they have the rematch in the Champions League today. If Trabzonspor don't manage to eliminate FC Copenhagen today I think they might not be well-prepared mentally for the Galatasaray match.

I'd like to remind you of their last league match here. Galatasaray could have really won if they were able to keep their 2-0 advantage. Now they don't have problems on finding many goal opportunities but there is some issue with finishing. But they might still be able to defeat Trabzonspor this time if they catch them off guard.

Benfica were highly dominant against Dynamo Kiev in this round. I don't mean that it was surprising. Because Dynamo Kiev have already lost very important players due to the war between Ukraine and Russia. This has weakened their squad too much. Their best performance was in Ukraine but even that wasn't enough to score a goal.

I still can't believe how Fenerbahce have been eliminated by a this much weak Dynamo Kiev. It was like a golden opportunity for Fenerbahce. It is sad to see Turkish teams having unexpected results in comfortable matchups. Maybe it was because the season was newly starting and Fenerbahce weren't also fully ready. But Dynamo Kiev's luck has run out against Benfica. By the way it looks like Benfica haven't lost much power in their attacking line even though they lost Darwin Nunez.

Turkey have only one team left in the Champions League now. Things didn't go the way they expected for Fenerbahce and they are most probably in the Europa League group stage soon. But Trabzonspor still have a chance for the group stage in the Champions League.

I saw some negative things in their first match against FC Copenhagen. Their defensive performance wasn't good enough and this caused them to lose by 2-1. The goals Trabzonspor conceded were very simple. They will need to defend their opponent tighter in their home stadium to still have a chance for eliminating them. On the other hand, they lost to Antalyaspor by a huge score like 5-2 in the Turkish Super League a few days ago.

So I wonder whether they will have problems on boosting their morale for the rematch here. Trabzonspor need to score the first goal otherwise they would be worse mentally and be eliminated most probably.

I see some people saying that Lille are one of the main opponents of PSG in the Ligue 1. However I don't believe this is true anymore. Their last head-to-heads can be shown as a proof for that also. I have added it below:



I respect Lille's success like being the champions of the league two seasons ago. But this was only related to their having a special season, that's all. There has been a huge power difference between these teams for years. PSG showed this once again by that 7-1 win.

In short, there is actually no team in the Ligue 1 that can keep up with PSG every season. As long as we don't see any other team building a very qualified squad like PSG, this will never change. PSG have real opponents in only the Champions league now.

The rumours about Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United are still on interestingly. I don't find this realistic because Manchester United have already signed Casemiro officially. They were looking for a defensive midfielder and they have found who they exactly wanted. There is no meaning in spending a lot of money for another midfielder when they already did the same for Casemiro. This news would be gone after some time I guess.

Bu verilerin arasında örneğin işsizlik rakamları gibi aslında gerçeği yansıtmayan veriler bile var. Bir zamanlar gerçekten iyi iş yapıldığı bir dönemden geçmiştik fakat bir süre sonra ne değiştiyse ülkenin zararına ne varsa yapılmaya başlandı. Sonrasında da günü kurtarmaya yönelik hamleler uzun vadede ülkenin hem ekonomik hem de geri kalan birçok alandaki gücüne büyük bir darbe indirdi.

This would be the dream for Nets while it is a nightmare for Lakers.    Because Lakers and more importantly Lebron want to get rid of Westbrook before the season starts. Westbrook's performance was very inadequate and they can't go on with him clearly. This would be enough to make Lebron disappointed and he might not make the same effort he made last season. I hope Lakers find a solid guard if they can't trade Irving.

It is definitely an easy day for Roma and Juventus both. Cremonese are already a weak opponent for Roma and I think the same about Sampdoria also. Juventus started better than I expected by a 3-0 victory. Maybe their effort would have been bigger than that but the most important thing is their not missing many chances. This time they should be able to find more goal opportunities and beat Sampdoria by at least a gap of two goals.

I think it was clear that it wasn't going to be a comfortable match for Trabzonspor. Antalyaspor proved this by a huge victory over them. Trabzonspor were thinking about the second leg in the Champions League also of course. This must have affected them mentally as a result. I don't expect this to affect their performance in their next league matches. Next time they are hosting Galatasaray and they need to focus on that match even more to win.

Vatandaşlık hakkı yanında bonus olan ev satışlarının bile mevcut olduğu bir dönemden geçiyoruz. Zaten yabancılar rahat alıyor diye bir de fiyatları şişirdikçe şişiriyorlar. Tercihen yabancıya satılan evlerin sayısı gitgide artıyor. Kısacası Türkler kendi yurdunda yabancı durumuna düşmüş durumda. Antalya gibi turistik bir yerde de yabancı uyruklu insanların ev alma oranı diğer illere göre daha hızla artıyor tabi.

Atalanta - Milan match is the main event of the day. Milan are slightly the favourite side according to the odds. This doesn't surprise me as Milan won the last match here. It is harder to predict what can happen at the beginning of the season of course but Milan still seem credible. I'm favouring Milan to win by a one-goal gap. Atalanta had problems on keeping up with them previously but this time I feel like they can.

Chelsea have seemed worse than last season so far. They should have been able to defeat Leeds. They were very ineffective at scoring goals that they couldn't keep up with the productivity of their opponent. I also agree with the people who believe that Chelsea need a centre-forward now. Havertz is not enough for them and he isn't even a striker normally. Bringing a capable striker would solve the problems in their attacking line.

Monaco - Lens is almost starting. This is a very close match I believe even though bookmakers don't think exactly the same. Each team won an away match against the other last season. Now they started similarly too. If I choose a side to bet on my choice would be Monaco. Their lineup seems more trustworthy to me now. They might manage to have their revenge here.

Başakşehir için işler pek iyi gitmiyor. Antwerp ile kendi sahasında 1-1 berabere kalması talihsiz bir olay oldu. Son dakikalarda baskıya dayanamayıp yediler golü. Rövanşta yapılacak daha çok iş var. Daha dirençli bir defans yapamazlarsa en azından hücumda daha etkili olarak yine Antwerp'i eleyebilirler. Türk takımlarının çok basit bir şekilde elendiğini görmek canları sıkıyor o yüzden umarım Başakşehir yoluna devam eder.

Tottenham won thanks to Kane in a match that they didn't perform satisfyingly. Wolves might have shocked them again after doing it last season too. This win would boost Tottenham's morale after drawing with Chelsea.

Crystal Palace - Aston Villa is the most attracting match now. The home team have just scored but it was cancelled so it is still 1-1. Aston Villa couldn't start well to the season and they are still struggling.

I support the Casemiro move fully. They needed a defensive midfielder in the end. He was one of the best candidates to fill in the position perfectly. I'm just not contented with their spending an unnecessary amount of money for his wage. They were just desperate and accepted to pay more than he deserved. He is great of course but this wage is not ideal for a midfielder at this age.

Ronaldo is still being related to some teams. This time it is Dortmund. But I have heard that Dortmund said like they didn't have an intention to sign him because of his age and demands. This is sensible as they don't need an immediate striker now. Ronaldo would wait for a huge salary so only teams that are in big need of strikers might try their luck. However none of the rich clubs seems to have any intention to do so.

Fenerbahçe'ye şimdiden grup aşamasında başarılar dilerim. Çünkü daha ilk maçtan 2-0 kazanıp fişi çektiler bile. Tatmin edici performanslar izledik. Grup aşamasında da güzel bir kura gelirse üst tur hakkında bir şüphem olmaz. Zamanında burada yarı final görmüş ama malesef Benfica tarafından elenmişlerdi. Kim bilir belki yine böyle bir başarı gelirse ülke puanı için de iyi olur.

Tottenham weren't having a good day against Chelsea indeed last week. But they still succeeded in stealing a point thanks to Kane's header. Their having problems was normal actually because Chelsea had good results against them recently. However I think Conte would like to destroy Wolves and make their fans happy this week. I don't see Wolves as a big obstacle in front of them.

I have been examining the new transfer rumours today and something special has attracted my attention. It is like Manchester United are all over the news now. They look like the most active team to go for new players these days. I know that it is normal because they need to make big changes. But nearly all of their targets are unwilling to join them of course. It is really hard for them to bring big players unless they achieve something good this season.
