Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season

[Gencecikmen]

The 36th week of Trendyol Super League will start tomorrow. All matches will be played on the same day and at the same time. There is great chaos in the relegation line. Which three teams will not be able to get out of this chaos? Pendikspor, Hatayspor, Gaziantepspor, Konyaspor or Karagümrükspor? By the way, İstanbulspor was the first team that could not get out of this chaos.

The 36th week of Trendyol Super League will start tomorrow. All matches will be played on the same day and at the same time. There is great chaos in the relegation line. Which three teams will not be able to get out of this chaos? Pendikspor, Hatayspor, Gaziantepspor, Konyaspor or Karagümrükspor? By the way, İstanbulspor was the first team that could not get out of this chaos.

Three weeks before the end of the league, they started to play the matches at the same time. Things are complicated in the relegation zone, 3 out of 6 teams will be relegated. İstanbulspor is guaranteed to be relegated but the other 3 teams are uncertain. Most of the standings may change after this week's matches are played. For example, if Hatayspor beats Ankaragücü, this result will affect many teams. Gaziantep FK will have a difficult away game but they also have a chance to win. Pendikspor's chances are very small in my opinion. I think they will be relegated.

Ali Koç and Sadettin Saran were in talks about the Fenerbahçe presidency. After this meeting ended Sadettin Saran stated that he wouldn't be a candidate for this job. Ali Koç decided to maintain his job for at least another year.

The news related to the decision (in Turkish): https://twitter.com/yagosabuncuoglu/status/1789284236383367527

It is really interesting honestly. I thought we would finally see Fenerbahçe making a change with the people in charge. If it was Galatasaray and if they failed this much I believe there is no way that board would stay for long. Galatasaray acts much more sensitive about this topic. If there is no championship then it is time to say goodbye. 

Let's wait and see if anything will change for Fenerbahçe and if they will finally win a Super League title while Ali Koç is the president.

I also don't understand why Fenerbahçe is this stubborn to keep the same chairman for a longer time period. Just look at the achievements Fenerbahçe have earned in his time. It isn't even plural, only 1 Turkish Cup that's all. Doesn't this mean something is really wrong with the management of the club?

Fenerbahçe is one of the biggest clubs in Turkey. It shouldn't be acceptable to have even 2 consecutive seasons without achievements. They haven't been able to win the TSL title for 10 years but Ali Koç is preparing for his 7th year.

Fenerbahçe will play at home against kayserispor.Fenerbahçe can't afford to lose any more points.Fenerbahçe needs to win this home game for sure.Kayserispor is not too close to the relegation zone at the moment, which increases the potential for Fenerbahçe to win this game. I expect Fenerbahçe to win this game to close the points gap with Galatasaray.Galatasaray will most probably be the champion but Fenerbahçe will want to take its chances until the last week as the points difference has increased to 6 after losing 4 points in Konya and Sivasspor.

Galatasaray will start the match with the classic 11 and tactics. Zaha is on the bench. Ziyech will play today. Therefore Kerem Aktürkoğlu is also on the bench. Icardi will play in the striker. Ziyech, Mertens and Baris will play behind Icardi. It's a formation we are used to tonight. Galatasaray played their most comfortable matches this season with this tactical formation and players. I don't expect any surprises in this match. I think Galatasaray will win this match comfortably. I don't expect a surprise. I have no comment for the Fenerbahçe match. I think they lost their motivation.

Karagumruk 2 - 3 Galatasaray

It was a game in which Karagumruk tried hard and they were close to getting a draw when in the 83rd minute they managed to score the second goal and tied the game, but they were very unlucky when Galatasaray managed to score the third goal. It was a game in which if Galatasaray had lost points, something like drawing in that game, it still wouldn't change anything in the race for the title because Galatasaray would win the last two remaining games. In the next game Galatasaray will play against Fenerbahce, it will be the game that will decide the title

Looking at the h2h between these two teams we have the following scenario:

In the last game Galatasaray got the better of Fenerbahce, I imagine that in the next game Galatasaray could get a draw or victory, but a draw would also mean that Galatasaray would win the league. but in a scenario where Galatasaray lost in the next game, they could still win in the last game of the league, which will be a game against a weak opponent that I believe Galatasaray will win, by that I mean that the title is already guaranteed by Galatasaray

Fenerbahçe won a comfortable victory. Kayserispor had no power to resist them. But Galatasaray continues on its way without losing any points.
In this case, the 3 points Fenerbahçe gained does not matter much. They need a miracle to prevent Galatasaray from becoming champions

Fenerbahçe managed to defeat Kayserispor. It wasn't too difficult for them to get a comfortable home win. Against Kayserispor, Djiku played in the number 6 position. We can say that it was a very good game. Fenerbahçe's win didn't change much because Galatasaray also won against Karagümrük. In a game that got more and more tense in the last minutes, Galatasaray managed to win the match. Karagümrük managed to equalize in the 83rd minute but Berkan's goal in the 90th minute gave them the win.

Looks like we already know who will win the title this season, yeah Galatasaray just need one more point to secure the title and Galatasaray still has 2 matches remaining so as you said Fenerbahce needs a miracle to take over the top of the standings. On May 19 these two teams will fight each other as well as proving who is stronger, Galatasaray as the home team is certainly the favorite but we should not underestimate Fenerbahce, because they are the most productive team in scoring goals. so far they have scored 92 goals in 36 matches

One of the matches that affected the relegation zone was Adana Demirspor vs Gaziantep. Adana Demirspor lost 6-1 to Gaziantep at home. Gaziantep team managed to get an important 3 points in this tough away game. We can say that this score had a big impact on Adana Demirspor being reduced to 10 men before the end of the first half. Balotelli left his team with 10 men and his team was weakened in the attacking line. Maxim had a really good game and played a big part in the game with 3 assists.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Galatasaray did not lose any points today, they managed to get three points from Karagümrükspor. Galatasaray continues undefeated as a leader. Karagümrük fought very well, they worked hard and they found a draw today. Berkan Kutlu scored a goal worth three points for Galatasaray and prevented a big loss point.

There are only two matches left now. I expect a possible draw from the Fenerbahçe match and then Konyaspor, it seems like there won't be much of a problem.

The thing I find interesting the most is why Saran decided to withdraw his candidacy. Ali Koç wasn't even supposed to be in the race for presidency anymore but he changed his mind, why Saran also is not running for presidency? He seems to be a good businessman and can bring a new breath to the club. I would support a new president like him instead of Ali Koç. That is a very strange situation.

With Galatasaray not losing points this week as mostly expected, I don't see any chance that they are losing the title. Next week's derby will be quite a game. Galatasaray will most probably get at least a draw.

[execijutiere]

Hatayspor hosted Ankaragücü at home. With 2 teams facing a high probability of relegation, the desire of both teams to leave this match with a win was very high. The first half of the match was goalless. In the second half, we watched a match with a high level of stress and fouls. Hatayspor won against its opponent and managed to increase its points to 37. As we enter the last 2 weeks, the point difference between the teams is not much and we can see very stressful and fierce matches in the last 2 weeks.

[LGD2Business]

İstanbulspor's manager Osman Zeki Korkmaz said that they were defeated by the mistakes they made against a team consisting of senior players. With this mentality, it's very normal for you to be relegated. The reason why there is such a difference between you and your opponents is that you cannot find players who can score properly. Otherwise, the other teams in the league are not much better than you. The quality of the league is already obvious, it's dragging on the ground. The teams that broke records in this league fail in the European cups. Even from here the quality level can be understood.

[MK-74]

It was an easy game for Fenerbahçe and they got 3 points.
Galatasaray had a hard time tonight, they got 3 points with a last minute goal and the finalization of the championship was left to the derby game next week.
Gaziantep FK won differently tonight. Adana Demirspor lost 6-1 at home.
Konyaspor won tonight and they got a very important 3 points.

The last weeks have been very competitive in the league.

[karabiber]

Galatasaray hard struggled against Karagümrük but won the match. The reason why Galatasaray struggled in this match was because Karagümrük, who are in the relegation zone, played a tremendous defense. Karagümrük's five player midfield line was so compact that it was very difficult for Galatasaray to open them up and they struggled. Galatasaray didn't play very good football and the opposition disrupted their game a lot.

Barış Alper Yılmaz's effort in this game was very good and he is a chance for Galatasaray. Throughout the season, Galatasaray faced tough matches and triumphed in games where they didn't play well. These are the kind of games that unlock championships. Galatasaray are now focused on the derby. They are waiting for the derby with a high level of concentration in a different atmosphere. Even a point in the derby will be enough for Galatasaray to win the championship. I can say that this season's champion is already decided.

[xzone]

We are watching a great struggle to get out of the relegation zone. Right now, every team still has a chance to save itself. This week, both Hatayspor and Pendikspor managed to win 3 points. Therefore, there is no difference in points between the teams, and the fight between them will continue for 2 weeks.
Teams such as Konyaspor, Kayserispor, Ankaragücü and Gaziantep are not currently in the relegation zone, but we never know what will happen next week. Maybe one of these teams may have to leave the league

[LGD2Business]

Claims about Romelu Lukaku and Jose Mourinho have been made in the new season for Fenerbahçe, which is very close to losing the championship with a record number of points this season.
If Ali Koç becomes president again, his choice of manager will be Mourinho. Turkish managers have been making teams champions for years, but some teams still desire foreign managers. I think even if Mourinho comes, he cannot be successful in this country.
Regarding Lukaku, I don't think Roma will want to let him go, but if a serious transfer fee is given, this transfer can happen. It's unknown from which sponsor they will find this money though.

I also don't know what went on behind the scenes.    How did Ali Koç cause or convince Sadettin Saran to withdraw from the race? Because Sadettin Saran looked really determined when he entered this road.

Ali Koç is just blemishing his name by continuing to be Fenerbahçe president. This is what I believe. He is really good as a businessman but I can't say he is that good as for managing a big team.    By the way, some people say Aziz Yıldırım can be a candidate against Ali Koç. But I never expect this to happen. It looks like he has already closed the book on being the Fenerbahçe president again.

Yağız Sabuncuoğlu said that Aziz Yıldırım will announce his presidential candidacy. Ali Koç had taken the presidency from Aziz Yıldırım. Now it's time for revenge for Aziz Yıldırım.

Ali Koç is one of the richest businessmen in Türkiye. He managed Fenerbahçe with the mentality of a businessman. I think this was his biggest mistake. He had the opportunity to take the club higher by working with professionals. But he wanted to run the club like a company. As a Galatasaray fan, I would definitely want him to stay at the club.
