Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season

[Volgastallion]

Never say never, this is football and plus turkish teams are very unpredictable, plus a lot of minors teams can be pushed with money to play better against Galatasaray. Its only a two points diference, very little.

One bad thing for the league is the HUGE gap between the two top ones and the rest of the field.

The title competition is at an insane level! Galatasaray are still only 2 points ahead. The Fenerbahçe - Pendikspor game yesterday was pretty interesting. For once I thought maybe Fenerbahçe would lose points which would be very useful for us. But after the first red card my dreams started to fall apart. 

By the way there are always debatable incidents happening every week. It is really annoying to see debatable decisions made by our referees. Acun Ilıcalı said that foreign referees should be brought to the league. Honestly I agree with him on this topic. Okan Buruk says he is satisfied with Turkish referees but I don't agree with him even a bit.

I'm really fed up with watching boring games in this league. We need referees who don't blow the whistle and stop the game in every situation.

The goal scoring problem we mentioned still continues. Santos' game can win the cup, but not the league. Beşiktaş needs to return to its familiar game as soon as possible and regain its identity as an attacking, goal scoring team. This is a very painful process, but precautions must be taken in time. If the new season planning is not done correctly, another year will be lost. The fans have no patience for this.

[SUPERSAIAN]

It continues to progress in the Super League under the leadership of Galatasaray and with competition between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. It was good that Galatasaray made a new reinforcement and the situation seems good now. The European matches have ended and the only place to focus on is the Super League, the players are in very good form.

It is not a difficult fixture for Galatasaray. In fact, when we look at the league right now, they do not have a choice to make a mistake because they are very close to Fenerbahce in terms of points.

In latest matches roles are reversed. Fenerbahçe was getting easy wins couple of months ago meanwhile Galatasaray was struggling. Now Galatasaray is scoring like 3-4 goals each match nearly. Fenerbahçe is having issues. They were nearly not gonna beat very average team like Pendikspor. I feel Fenerbahçe will lose some points when they face proper opponent from upper table. Galatasaray has relaxed fixture except Adana Demirspor probably.

Any team could end up losing points at any given moment, it is definitely not impossible, sure they look like they are on a roll right now at the league, but look at their europa result and the cup result, they played horribly in both of them. Plus they have no right wing back at all, after selling Boey (a great job by the way, I hear it is 35 million euro) it looks like they may not have anyone to play there, which is not really that easy to handle, I feel like that is not going to be that easy for them to overcome this hurdle.

I understand that it may feel like they will do fine, because they handled it before, but it is really not that easy at all, and eventually they may make a mistake from that wing and lose a game, it all depends on just a single mistake.

I didn't think Beşiktaş would lose. They played really badly last night.
There is no player as terrible as Al-Musrati. It's really surprising how they bought such a player.

It was a very good 3 points for Gaziantep FK.

[Gencecikmen]

I predicted that Beşiktaş would lose the match this week. Because Beşiktaş had a poor struggle against Galatasaray last week. Beşiktaş played really badly last week. Beşiktaş lost to Gaziantep FK 2-0. Gaziantep FK solidified one of the biggest surprises of the season in the Süper Lig as they moved out of the relegation zone. Gaziantep FK were scored by Deian Sorescu and Denis Dragus.

After Fernando Santos took over, Beşiktaş became a team that conceded fewer goals, but it also became a team that scored fewer goals. When I look at the statistics, they have scored only 9 goals in 10 league games under Fernando Santos. These statistics are not by chance. Fernando Santos prefers defensive tactics, but the recent irresponsible behavior of Aboubakar, the team's top scorer, may have contributed to this statistic. This season is their nightmare year. They might not even finish among the top four teams in the league.

This season is pretty much over for Beşiktaş in my opinion. If they could hit rank 3-4 that's pretty good in my opinion. They experienced huge crisis with some of their best players. Their manager was pretty bad, new manager just literally left, another manager is staying probably to focus on fixing team. Beşiktaş needs solid players but all they are getting through transfers are literal scams in my opinion. Even Anatolian teams execute better transfers.

[RaltcoinsB]

I feel like its nearly impossible for Galatasaray to not win title at this point. They are relieved from European tournament so completely focused at league matches. Galatasaray has huge advantage with points difference and nearly all players are performing better because they are lot more motivated to win. Tiny mistakes won't change a lot. I feel like Fenerbahçe will lose a point earlier than Galatasaray in this race and Galatasaray will keep winning.

I hope our team wins and we can finish this season ahead of Galatasaray. We gained a big advantage in the first match of the conference league, but we are also focused on the league. I think our fight against Galatasaray will continue until the match we play between us. If we win this match, we have a very high chance of becoming champions.

[Pierre 2]

Antalyaspor is having rather good season this time because of new foreigner players that are obviously above average for Turkish league. Antalyaspor should definitely do something about Buksa and buy him. He is a gem in my opinion as a striker with a style similar to Peter Crouch. I think Kaluzinski is also getting better as youth talent. Antalyaspor needs better defenders tho. Current defenders are just average for league. If Antalyaspor wants to go conference league they need better defenders.

[xzone]

It has been announced that Halil Umut Meler will be the referee of the match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe. This match is very critical, if Trabzonspor can make its opponent lose points in this match, it will be very beneficial for Galatasaray.
Fenerbahçe can play very well against its opponent in such matches, but if Trabzonspor also wins this match, it will be able to stay ahead in the fight against Beşiktaş. Both teams will go into the match to win, and there is a high probability of making mistakes. We will watch an exciting match

I agree about your opinion on the title race. Anything can happen in this rivalry between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Maybe it is exciting to follow the title race at this level but there is another thing I'm not happy about. The fans and fan groups of these team have literally started a war between themselves. It isn't nice to see these things in football to tell the truth.  

We can't improve our football like this. There is no need to become hooligans like this. You can support your team because of loving it so much. But there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. Otherwise this time people start to see each other like enemies.

[Slow death]

Well, it seems that Turkish teams are not at the level of teams from other European countries, something strange, today Fenerbahçe lost, but the advantage is that Fenerbahçe won in the first leg game and managed to score 3 goals, which gave them a certain comfort so that in this second leg game the team focused a lot on defense and thus guaranteed qualification for the next phase. in my opinion 3 goals is not a number in which a coach can afford to run the game in the second leg thinking that the opponent would not be able to score 3 goals as well, and knowing that fenerbahçe were playing at home, so they could having worked hard to win the second leg game. but fenerbahçe really chose to play in defense

and let the opponent win at Fenerbahçe's home, and that's what happened, the opponent scored a goal in the 68th minute and Fenerbahçe couldn't at least score 1 goal, with that strategy Fenerbahçe went to another stage, but they lost in today's game . they may have managed to save players, they may have managed to move on to another stage, but this shows that if they don't have their main players, then they can't beat a team like the union, this shows that if they don't try hard, they won't They can beat a team like Union at home, which is bad.

I'm wondering what it will be like if Fenerbahçe in the next phase is unlucky enough to play against a strong team, they will be eliminated immediately, I hope I'm wrong about my thoughts. I congratulate Fenerbahçe for being able to reach another stage although it would have been great if they had also won in the second leg game because it would have shown great superiority, but unfortunately in the second leg game of the conference league they lost to Union and lost playing at home

I feel like Fenerbahçe will lose a point earlier than Galatasaray in this race and Galatasaray will keep winning.

I'd say it's not too sure to say that Galatasaray will be this season's champions. Galatasaray is performing very well this season it is true. Lost only 1 out of 29 matches and drew 3 matches. The team is playing well in every match. However, Fenerbahce's performance is not weak. Fenerbahce team is only 2 points behind Galatasaray.

There is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play 9 more matches. And maintaining a winning streak in 9 matches is not an easy task. I am not backing the Fenerbahce team because Fenerbahce's attack is very strong. Fenerbahce players scored 76 goals in 29 matches. On the other hand, Galatasaray players scored 64 goals. That's why I think Fenerbahce still has a chance to win the title.

[wiss19]

These type of games, or expectations are usually quite troublesome because it causes a lot of turmoil. Like when you finally see a team that "suppose to" challenge a bigger club, such as Trabson that "may" beat Fenerbahce then when it doesn't happen, people look for reasons.

There is no reason, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are better than everyone else, and could they lose? Maybe, but not because they are worse, it's just happens at times, it's just tough luck. I think both teams could keep on winning EVERY game except each others game, and that would be quite sweet to watch that game. I see there are a lot of news that are off the field, but I know what I am seeing on the field and that's more than enough for me to enjoy both teams.

Antalyaspor, who haven't been able to stop the bad run lately, face the most difficult away game in the league. The club, whose morale has deteriorated after the transfer ban, has won only once in the last 7 matches. It must be said that their chances tomorrow are seriously low. Beşiktaş, on the other hand, wants to recover but they can't overcome their ineffectiveness in front of goal. I expect a controlled and low-scoring match, which could turn into a winner-takes-all game due to this controlling curiosity.

Beşiktaş played badly against Gaziantep and almost didn't get into any scoring positions. When Santos chose to play with two strikers to intervene in the game, Beşiktaş showed weaknesses in defense and conceded the second goal. Antalyaspor under Sergen Yalçın also have a bad performance. In the last 7 weeks they scored only 5 goals and collected 5 points. I think there will be 1 or 2 goals at most in this match.

Galatasaray without doubt have been the best team in the Turkish league since the start of the season and I don't think there's anyone doubting their strength and capability of retaining the Turkish Super Lig title at the end of the season but considering how impressive second placed Fenerbahce have been since the start of the season and the fact that the points difference between those two teams in the Turkish Super Lig standings is just two points, I think it'll be one of the hardest seasons for Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce failed to win the Turkish Super Lig title last season as they lost the league title to eventual winners Galatasaray but are more determined to go all out for the Turkish league title this season.
Just like you rightly said, there's still 9 more matches to play before the end of the Turkish league and it's almost impossible for the two teams to win all their remaining league fixtures so I think anything can happen in the remaining fixtures but I'm still backing current league leaders Galatasaray to win the league title
