Turkish Cup 2022-2023 Season Prediction Thread

[LGD2Business]

There will first match of semi finals at 3 and 4 of May. I think the Turkish Cup is very significant. Because it means a ticket for the "UEFA Europa League Cup". It means an important income for the teams. So whole teams will do their best for the cup. However I think one of Başakşehir and Fenerbahçe will win.

Sivasspor is a strong competitor, but considering their position in the league, it should be said that Fenerbahçe is the big favorite of this cup. They will want to end the season by winning this trophy, as their chance of championship in the league has decreased. On the other match-up, Başakşehir will be the team that will reach the final. It's possible that we will see the Fenerbahçe - Başakşehir final.
Since the semi-finals will be played over 2 matches, the possibility of surprise decreases. Every team would have a chance if it was played with the single match elimination system, but the favorites have a higher chance in this order.

Its so funny that Sivasspor and Fenerbahçe will play against in 2 different tournaments at same week. I think Sivasspor is definitely not a team to underestimate here with their powerful squad. Fenerbahçe will focus on league at this point cause they couldn't even beat İstanbulspor. I think Fenerbahçe is close to win at league but cup match may lose its importance. Its sad but Turkish cup was always like this in later years. Its a tournament to try extraordinary bets. So sivas win here is possible.

Its so funny that Sivasspor and Fenerbahçe will play against in 2 different tournaments at same week. I think Sivasspor is definitely not a team to underestimate here with their powerful squad.

Sivasspor's performance in the last 5 games in the league is an acceptable performance, in the last 5 games they won in 3 games, lost in one game and drew 1 game, it's a somewhat acceptable performance, but overall Sivasspor had 30 games and only won in 10 games, and looking at their attack and defense they had 41 goals scored, but they also had 42 goals conceded, their opponent Fenerbahçe also doesn't have a good defense, in 30 games they conceded 36 goals, but they have one frightening attack, in which in 30 games they managed to score 72 goals, and the team with the highest number of goals and in the last 5 games Fenerbahçe has been doing well

Fenerbahçe will focus on league at this point cause they couldn't even beat İstanbulspor. I think Fenerbahçe is close to win at league but cup match may lose its importance. Its sad but Turkish cup was always like this in later years. Its a tournament to try extraordinary bets. So sivas win here is possible.

Fenerbahçe had to see their fans showing great dissatisfaction for not having won the last game because it would have reduced points in relation to their biggest opponent who is at the top, but even with the dispute for the title, winning the cup would also be of great importance, that's because in case they didn't win the league, at least they would be happy to have won the cup, I see Fenerbahçe playing seriously in this game and I think that Fenerbahçe will be able to come out victorious, I don't remember where I saw that interview with jorge jesus in which he spoke of seeing the cup, it is also of great importance

In fact, such pairings are much more common. Two teams can play both in the league and in the cup in the same week. We see matches like this in many leagues.
Fenerbahçe cannot take advantage of the opportunities they have in the league, but I don't think they will make a mistake in the cup. At least, they will give special importance to these matches in order to finish the season with a trophy. Of course, Jesus is acting in complete disregard, but the fans want to win this trophy. They will fire up the team well.

[Pierre 2]

Today and tomorrow there will be matches for Turkish cup semifinals. Sivasspor-Fenerbahçe and Başakşehir-Ankaragücü. I think Fenerbahçe will easily strike 1-2 goals against Sivas and going to secured their final position. They are the biggest candidate to win Cup since they have the best squad. On the other match there is certain differences between Başakşehir and Ankaragücü. I guess Başakşehir can secure 1-0 or 2-0 win. I don't expect Ankaragücü to score a goal. I feel like only Fenerbahçe may get bad result here because they are more motivated to league.

[Gencecikmen]

Fenerbahce faced Sivasspor at the weekend for the league. And Fenerbahce had a very comfortable victory. Fenerbahce defeated Sivasspor 3-1. Today, I think Fenerbahce will get a comfortable win. I even think Fenerbahce will win both the league and the cup. Fenerbahçe FC's starting XI against Sivasspor: İrfan Can, Ferdi, Samet, Szalai, Luan Peres, Arao, Mert Hakan, İrfan Can Kahveci, Emre Mor, Rossi, Pedro

[Distraction]

I think that the Turkish Cup is actually more important now compared to before. Because the Super League isn't as prestigious as before anymore. No team can qualify for the Europa League by finishing the season at any position in the Super League standings. But the Turkish Cup winner still goes to the Europa League if I'm not wrong about it. This is why this cup is more crucial for the teams except the Super League champion.

Fenerbahce had better focus on their work in the Turkish Cup. Maybe they have got close to the leader Galatasaray a lot but they are still the second-placed team. They can't leave their job to chance in the end. This 0-0 draw against Sivasspor isn't bad. I expect Fenerbahce to finish it in the rematch. I expect them to win the cup also to save a spot in the Europa League at worst. Because Galatasaray are still the biggest candidate for the Super League title now.

Fenerbahçe being rather lazy tonight so their match against ended 0-0 against Sivasspor. Fenerbahçe is still close to final in my opinion because they play very different at home. End result was what I expected tho. They are focusing a lot more on league so feels demotivated in cup. I think they should have scored a goal at start of game when pressure was lot more higher. They failed and completely laid down to protect 0-0 until the end of 90 minutes. Fenerbahçe beat Sivas like couple of days ago with 3 goals! in league. They could beat them in Cup too.

I think even this score is enough for them because they will be much more comfortable playing at home in the rematch. Unless they rotate too much. As you know, the situation in the league is obvious and Fenerbahçe can close this season with two trophies. Of course, there is also the possibility of closing the season without a trophy in a negative situation. They shouldn't see the second match as a part of the bag. If they give due importance to the match, they will reach the final. In my opinion, cup matches should have been played with a single-match elimination system, but the semi-finals are played over two matches. I don't understand why they keep changing the format of the cup.

[Gencecikmen]

Fenerbahçe's match against ended 0-0 against Sivasspor. This result isn't bad for Fenerbahçe. Because Fenerbahçe will be playing at home in the rematch. Fenerbahçe beat Sivasspor with 3 goals their home a few days ago. My assume, Fenerbahçe will beat Sivasspor again their home. And Fenerbahçe is both still close to final and cups in my opinion.

I saw the interview Jorge Jesus gave after that game, the Fenerbahçe coach criticized the VAR a lot, mainly because they didn't score a penalty in favor of Fenerbahçe, which happened at 90 + 3 minutes in which goalkeeper Yildirim brought down Joshua King , which clearly could give Fenerbahçe a victory, but the game ended in a draw, Fenerbahçe from what I could see were better on the field than their opponent, but if the VAR does not do their job well then they will be spoiling the games, maybe the people on the pitch who were watching may have other opinions, but for me and the majority of the Portuguese press, they saw a penalty, but the VAR saw nothing. something very strange

now Fenerbahçe needs to focus on the rest of the league games, they only have a 3 point difference with the leader of the table, which is very strange to see galatasaray lose points in two consecutive games, they had a draw, then a defeat, although I still think it's impossible for galatasaray not to be champions, but Fenerbahçe cannot give up so soon, they must keep dreaming and striving to win all the remaining games, I don't know how many games are still left to finish the league, as there was that very sad disaster months ago what forced to change the calendar, so it is very difficult to know how many games are still missing, on google only canceled or postponed games are shown

Fenerbahçe's match against ended 0-0 against Sivasspor. This result isn't bad for Fenerbahçe. Because Fenerbahçe will be playing at home in the rematch. Fenerbahçe beat Sivasspor with 3 goals their home a few days ago. My assume, Fenerbahçe will beat Sivasspor again their home. And Fenerbahçe is both still close to final and cups in my opinion.

I expected Fenerbahçe to win this match. But they failed. In the previous match V won 3-1 away against Sivasspor. I expected the same result again. However, Fenerbahçe was a bit unlucky. The match was a goalless draw. Hopefully, the Fenerbahçe team will not disappoint us in the home match. Fenerbahçe's chances of winning the Super Lig are very low. And so they should try their best to win the Turkish Cup.

Man, I'm feeling some type of way about Fenerbahçe's vibe in their showdown with Sivasspor. Straight up slacking and lacking fire, watching them miss their shots was pure agony. I mean, what's the deal if you ain't going all in?

And I'm with the Fenerbahçe coach, throwing shade at the VAR. They ought to keep things on the level, right? If they ain't up to the task, then what gives? Fenerbahçe could've snatched victory if the VAR crew stepped up their game. It's straight-up foul play

After the Beşiktaş-Galatasaray match, Fenerbahce chance to win the Super League has increased a lot. However I agree with your idea. Fenerbahçe should try their best to win the Turkish Cup. Because all the major teams were eliminated. Fenerbahçe can get the Turkish Cup by easily defeating his weak opponents.

In another semi-final match, Başakşehir defeated weak opponent Ankaragücü 1-0. My guess is that Başakşehir will be Fenerbahçes opponent in the final.

Fenerbahce are progressing towards the final both in the cup and in the league this season. Galatasaray gave them morale by making some big mistakes in the league in the last weeks. They got a good opportunity in the league. But winning the league is not easy for them. However, they have easy opponents in the Turkish Cup. And they can win the trophy by defeating them.

Sivasspor - Fenerbahce match was slow. Sivasspor changed their tactics in the cup match when they saw that Fenerbahçe were very strong for them in the league match. The second match of the tour will be played in Istanbul. I predict that Sivasspor will lose to Fenerbahçe in that match. Because we saw that they could not develop a good tactic against Fenerbahçe in both matches.

I mainly think that cup matches are seen very very unimportant. I feel like cup matchescould be decreased to first 8 teams of league playing against each other to determine winner in maximum 5 matches honestly. Lower league teams nearly always lose at one point. Most of teams play without any purpose.
I agree with your guess, Galatasaray isn't going good in later weeks. They may gift league title to Fenerbahçe. Also I think this result is good enough for Fenerbahçe.

[Gencecikmen]

There will second match of semi finals at 24 and 25 of May. There is a Fenerbahçe Sivasspor match tonight. Trailing 0-0 from the first leg, Fenerbahçe will do best against Svasspor at tonight. My assume Fenerbahçe and Başakşehir will be played in the Turkish Cup final.

Sivasspor's starting XI against Fenerbahçe : İrfan, Ferdi, Samet, Szalai, Peres, Arao, Zajc, İrfan Can, Arda, Valencia, Batshuayi. Fenerbahçe's starting XI against Sivasspor : Ali Şaşal, Robin Yalçın, Caner, Goutas, Uğur, Cofie, Ulvestad, Charisis, Saiz, Gradel, James.

[Pulsar77]

It was a match that was dominated by Fenerbahce during 90 minutes. Maybe they couldn't break the deadlock in the first half but after doing so in the second half the rest came much easier. The only thing Sivasspor could have done is to play fully defensive and force the match to end by penalty shoot-outs. But Fenerbahce were having a really good day which shattered the dreams of their opponent. Now we are going to find out which team will be Fenerbahce's opponent in the finale. Is it going to be Basaksehir or Ankaragucu?

I'm siding with Basaksehir in this considering the player qualities and the current situations of the teams both. If Galatasaray don't lose the lead in the Super League until the end it will be very crucial for Fenerbahce to win the Turkish Cup at least. Besides this cup has even more importance now after the changes in places to qualify for European cups.

[Slow death]

Fenerbahce 3 - 0 Sivasspor

I watched this game at stake and I must say that Fenerbahce played very well, it was something good to watch, the way the Fenerbahce team went on the attack reminded me of the Benfica of the times that Jorge Jesus was a coach and of Flamengo as well. in which jorge jesus was coach, so it was really something fantastic to see Fenerbahce play so well in this game, it brought me good memories of the past, in the 1st half there were no goals but I soon predicted that in the 2nd half Fenerbahce would be able to score goal of course I didn't expect that they would be able to score 3 goals and that they would win much more easily, but I already imagined that at least 1 goal and a victory Fenerbahce could achieve in this game

their opponent couldn't score even 1 goal in the previous game against the league leaders, also in the 1st leg they couldn't score a goal against Fenerbahce and that's why I saw that they wouldn't constitute any big danger for Fenerbahce in this game, so I I decided to bet on Fenerbahce, I put Fenerbahce in my parlay which also had Inter's match against Fiorentina, as Inter won and Fenerbahce also won so I managed to leave with a profit, I also think that Fenerbahce's next opponent in the cup match It's an accessible opponent so I see Fenerbahce being champion of the cup, at least they would come out with something this season

[execijutiere]

Fenerbahce clearly dominated the match and deserved this win. The first half was scoreless and from the beginning of the second half there was a team hungry for goals and increasing the pressure. The game started very fast and in the first minutes, after batshuayi's missed position, Fenerbahçe scored with Ferdi. After the goal, we can say that Fenerbahce slowly started to take control of the game. In this way, Fenerbahçe, which had more positions, had no trouble in finding goals and won the match with 3 goals and became the first team to write its name in the final.
