Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season

[xzone]

It's a big achievement to make 31 shots and only 6 shots went on goal. Adana Demirspor didn't even deserve to get 1 point in this match. Giresunspor played with 10 players for 72 minutes and finished the match in a draw. At the end of the league, maybe Giresunspor will stay in the league with this 1 point. That was important. Adana Demirspor's time in the top three has expired. Now, teams like Beşiktaş, Başakşehir and Trabzonspor will pass them and come to the place they deserve.

One of the most interesting stats I've ever seen. Probably if non-professional players were on the field and took this many shots, they would have scored a lot more goals than that. They couldn't score almost throughout the match, and they managed to beat this bad luck in the last minutes.
It was a very good match for Giresunspor. They could have won the match had the goalkeeper not acted so early in the counterattack position in the 41st minute

There has been an update on the championship odds. It looks like Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have the same odds for the league title. After seeing last a few weeks in the league I would have expected bookmakers to show Galatasaray as the biggest favourite. But they still don't make such change despite the gap of four points in the standings.

Of course this gap is not very big and Fenerbahçe can catch up with them if they fight harder than now. They need to focus on increasing their win rate in big matches especially. They lost two such matches recently and it cost them this.

Fenerbahçe plays very well in home matches. They generally get easy 3 points all the time. Galatasaray on the other, doesn't even play in consistent mood. Sometimes Galatasaray fucks up first half by conceding goal after goal. I think these may be main reasons for them to have similar odds. Fenerbahçe can go better if they take 1st rank back. Galatasaray can mess themselves even if they stay leader. These are my ideas.

Galatasaray - Antalyaspor match will start soon. Everyone knows that Galatasaray have a rising performance in the league. They have won their last eight matches. Also, they beat Alanyaspor 2-1 away in the Turkish Cup. Without a doubt, they are the best team in the league. On the other hand, Antalyaspor started the league well. But they haven't been able to win for the last five weeks. We can say that they are going through a bad time. Also, Haji Wright will not be able to play in this match due to injury. I think he is their most important player and they will feel his absence in this game. I predict Galatasaray will win the match. I don't think there will be any surprises in this game.

It was very cold in Istanbul this evening, but the stadium was packed with fans. Galatasaray fans believed that they would win this match. This fan makes any team champion. This fan motivates even football players who play bad football. They will be the biggest driving force on the road to championship.

Galatasaray didn't play very well this evening, but won easily. Icardi scored a fantastic goal and played a very effective role in the passing connections. His harmony with Kerem Aktürk increases with each match. Also, Mertens and Torerira were among the good players of the evening.

In the last two to three years Kayserispor and Besiktas have meet 5 times, four of the matches was won by Besiktas. A 4-match losing run ended the last time when Kayserispor grabbed all the points against Sivasspor. Now, they play at home again and hope to build on that momentum to win this game. The hosts scored in all their last five matches. They have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last five home games. However, with only 3 wins, 5 draws and a total of 12 losses to Besiktas in 20 meetings, this could be a tough end to the short resurgence Besiktas is in top form. A win in this game will be a game-changer for the visitors as it could see them go all the way to the third spot in the Turkey Super Lig. It is an urgent necessity. Besiktas are regarded as the favourites in this game.

Galatasaray really made a good effort today. Icardi still continues to shine in league matches and he scored a lovely header in this. Galatasaray's second goal was really an unlucky one for Antalyaspor. Because Floranus targeted their goal while trying to clear the danger in their defense. Antalyaspor did their best especially in the first 20 minutes of the match. There was even a shot which hit the goal post. But even if they scored there I think Galatasaray would still make a comeback and win.

Because they are playing in a disciplined way and quite dedicatedly at the same time.

The first match for tommorow being Sunday in La Liga is the Villarreal vs Girona match. So, Although Villarreal enters this game after getting eliminated from Copa del Rey by Real Madrid despite having a 2-0 lead at half time, their good form in La Liga is still giving us confidence that they can win this match. Girona is also in great form and without a loss in the last seven games, but Villarreal is the better team of the two and they are hosting this game. They have also beaten Girona in their last three meetings, so my utmost expectation in this match is for the Yellow Submarine to win this match.

After 100 minutes Galatasaray survived and won 2-1. They were pretty lucky with that own goal and luck is still in their favor. With this win they are 7 points ahead of Fenerbahce and are looking amazing. Antalyaspor is now one spot over the relegation zone and things arent looking good for them.

It seems luck was a little bit in galatasaray favor they had a good game but not the best since they almost lost precious points, i disagree i do not think they are playing in a disciplined way, they need to be really carefull since the league is not over yet and if fenerbahce win their game tomorrow which i think will happen there will be only four points separating them which is not much considering there are still 16 games to play.

There are two good news about Beşiktaş:

1- Ghezzal started working with the team. I guess he is not ready yet, but it is very good news that he has started working with the team (https://www.gundembesiktas.com/rachid-ghezzal-geri-donuyor-2/).

2- Aboubakar transferred to Beşiktaş (https://www.goal.com/tr/haber/transfer-besiktas-a-yeniden-imza-atan-vincent-aboubakar-in-maliyeti-ne-kadar/blt52badc7d25bae44d). He knows the team, the team knows him...

Abuş might play in the Kayserispor match tomorrow, but it is impossible for Ghezzal to be in the squad... Every match we play until all the players are ready is very important because there are really important shortcomings in the team right now.

[Captain Corporate]

We won again, but it looked much closer this time around. Galatasaray 2-1 Antalyaspor. I am guessing that it will take a while before we could feel at ease, not just wins, but there is this feeling of unease. We didn't start that well and we weren't that good last year, in fact it has been one of the worst years ever, so suddenly to be this good this year with momentum on our side doesn't really feel that well, it just doesn't sit well so far. I hope that we will continue to win many more games and get the title, but until we do, we will end up fearing it for sure, its not going to be at any point sure thing in my mind.

If Galatasaray wants to top the points table and win the title, Galatasaray will definitely need to earn full points against relatively weaker teams. Fenerbahçe are set to go top of the table if Galatasaray drops the points.
Galatasaray was very lucky against Atalyaspor. Otherwise they could not have achieved 3 points. Galatasaray players attacked a lot. But even then they managed to score only one goal. Galatasaray will have to perform more carefully in the next matches.

Ghezzal fills key role of Beşiktaş: Chance creation. I think his comeback to Beşiktaş is bigger than Aboubakar's transfer. In a team where noone is able to create positions, good striker will be able to do nothing. So I am expecting Beşiktaş to get far better than now. I think they will not stop with these transfers. Şenol Güneş will ask for one or maybe two more transfer before end of transfer period. We will see reflection of this to pitch soon.

Aboubakar transfer is also a very important transfer.  He is a striker who has contributed a lot in the past when he played for Beşiktaş.  He also knows Şenol Güneş, and Şenol Güneş knows him.  It is very important to have players who will fit in well with each other.  Ghezzal and Aboubakar will give Beşiktaş great strength.  In the second period of the season, we can see an unstoppable Beşiktaş.  Cenk Tosun's performance is also great.  I think they will play with a double striker.

[Jossque]

In the first match of the day, away Sivasspor beat Gaziantep 2-1 and got 3 points.  Gaziantep have not had a problem scoring goals at home for a long time. They have scored almost every game this season. But we see that they have problems in winning matches. Erol Bulut needs to solve this as soon as possible or he may have problems to stay as Gaziantep's technical director.

Beşiktaş got what they wanted from the Kayserispor match today. Their performance was quite decent and they could have scored more goals as well. Redmond's goal was really impressive as his shot was such a decent one and it was really fast at the same time. He is a player who played in the Premier League and this shot had some similarities with his times there.

Beşiktaş can leave Başakşehir behind in the standings actually. It depends on whether they win their missing match. I don't know how much they can be competitive for the title though. But their form has been improved a lot after Senol Gunes' arrival.

[Slow death]

It's a big achievement to make 31 shots and only 6 shots went on goal. Adana Demirspor didn't even deserve to get 1 point in this match. Giresunspor played with 10 players for 72 minutes and finished the match in a draw. At the end of the league, maybe Giresunspor will stay in the league with this 1 point. That was important. Adana Demirspor's time in the top three has expired. Now, teams like Beşiktaş, Başakşehir and Trabzonspor will pass them and come to the place they deserve.

 

it's really strange what happened in that game, adana since the 18 minutes they were playing against a team that only had 10 players, but adana couldn't score goals, even though they had 70% possession of the ball, honestly I can't understand as a team that in the last few games scored a lot of goals was not managing to score a goal in a game in which they were playing against a weakened opponent, to make matters worse they had 31 shots

I didn't watch the game but it looks like adana was just doing shots, I don't know if I'm wrong because I didn't watch the game, but definitely that's something that just made me laugh

it seems that Beşiktaş can even finish in the second position since the second and third place are occupied by very inconsistent teams

I also have the same thoughts. We didn't play well in this match, but we won easily. I think this is a good feature. Because we know how to win even when playing bad. It's an identity and it's the team's most distinctive feature. When our momentum increases, we will play better and win easier matches. I have no doubts about it, and it is absolutely no coincidence that we won 9 games in a row in the league.

Beşiktaş have had a good start in the last few weeks. They could not reach the desired level on the field, but they gained a positive momentum in tactical terms. I think Şenol Güneş has a great share in this. He knows this league very well.

[LGD2Business]

Again, there is a Beşiktaş win with a good game, and there are also ridiculous referee decisions. The red card shown to Rosier has no explanation. Beşiktaş is trying to stay in the race despite the referees. But the opponents are watched by the referees in such a way that the difference in points inevitably increases. Beşiktaş should win the next 5 games and achieve a similar winning streak. The fixtures are suitable for this, it will be played with weak opponents until the Başakşehir match. If external factors do not disrupt the game plan much, Beşiktaş can catch such a series. With the arrival of Aboubakar, there is a much stronger team on offense.

Galatasaray can mess themselves even if they stay leader. These are my ideas.

Wow I also thought Galatasaray would have better odds now. They having the same odds mean very interesting things will happen in the rest of the season. I agree with the point that Fenerbahçe is more stable and Galatasaray is more unstable. But still, if we know Fenerbahçe's league performance for, let's say, 10 years, the recent performance of that indicates that they will probably be out of the race soon. But, transfers matter a lot. Beşiktaş is 10 points behind with one game missing, but with Aboubakar and return of Ghezzal, things can change drastically. They still have chance.
