Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[ajanwalker]

Today will be a good match between Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.
Since the day Cihan Aydın was announced as the referee, the debate has started on social media. Many people claim Cihan Aydın is a Galatasaray fan. I'm curious to see what kind of match management he'll show.
I think it'll be a good match, and Galatasaray will win. I expect a goal-scoring match. Onana will have a lot to do. I hope today is one of his best days.

As a Fenerbahçe fan, I also want Galatasaray to drop points because Fenerbahçe will face Beşiktaş away on Sunday, and it will be a tough match for us.

i'm genuinely curious what will happen to all the referees, and even players, who have been proven to have placed bets and engaged in match-fixing. if no action is taken, the turkish super league's already questionable reputation will be cemented, because even blatant match-fixing is being ignored.

i don't think the old championships will be changed; the issue needs to be escalated, but i don't think they will. we'll all see what happens.

No, they wouldn't do such thing like to take back some titles from certain clubs. I haven't heard of any similar example in other leagues until now also. But I hope these gambler referees/players all get punished fairly.

It's really unbelievable that professional league referees can do this easily and they haven't been inspected so far.    Who knows how many games they destroyed in the league history. Shame on all of them...

I strongly believe they will take back no title from any of those past champions rather those referees and players that are involved in such act will definitely face their penalties, I remember when a former super eagle coach Samson Siasia was involved in gambling in the Sense of fixing match and then stake on it, when FIFA find out he was ban from coaching job nor to go to any stadium to watch match this was his punishment and till now he's still on that punishment, so if by chance this players and coaches are fine guilty then they will definitely face the penalty.

Nuri Şahin is starting to make an impact at Başakşehir.
They have 2 wins and 1 draw in their last 3 matches.
Yesterday, they defeated Kocaelispor 1-0 with a penalty in the 90+1st minute.
Kocaeli has now earned 9 points from their last three matches.
Kocaelispor was on track to pick up a point yesterday, but the penalty goal thwarted their plans.

Today, the home teams Göztepe and Galatasaray will most likely win their matches. But I wonder about the atmosphere that will arise after the recent referee scandal and how the teams will react to it. Assigning Cihan Aydın, who is known by everyone to be a fanatical Galatasaray supporter, to this match is a debatable issue. Is it the federation saying, "Even if it goes to court, we will manage it as we see fit"? There will be a lot of pressure on the referee today. If he mismanages the match, it will be talked about all week. Managing a clean match would be the best for him, but the slightest mistake will lead to discussions lasting all week.

Kocaelispor didn't deserve the loss, in my opinion.
They started the match poorly, but they regained their composure later in the game, and Kocaelispor was the more dominant side in the first half, especially after the 25th minute.
Başakşehir started the second half strongly again, but couldn't get past goalkeeper Jovanovic.
In the 89th minute, both players pulled each other off in a duel. The referee awarded a penalty, which Shomurodov converted, and Başakşehir finished the match with a 1-0 victory.
I think it's a shame for Kocaelispor.

By the way I've heard of an update on a referee who is Zorbay Küçük about the gambling scandal recently. It's said that he made a statement like that gambling account wasn't created by him.

Instead it was created by a person from a different country on his name. If this is true then he shouldn't be included in these allegations at least. Other than him, we really need an immediate action on this serious matter.

Do you actually believe him ? No matter who created his account , he needed his valid ID to actually get verified on that website , so this lame excuses he has are nothing more than a cheap way to try to get clean. The problem is that absolutely no one will believe any referee from Turkey from now on and I doubt we will see any Turkish referee in european competition in the next 5-10 years. At this point , the entire Turkish football league should be re-invented or no one will trust them outside Turkey.

What you're saying is nearly impossible. UEFA has supported notorious match-fixers like Cüneyt Çakır and Halil Umut Meler for years and appointed them as referees for the most important matches. These referees' wrong decisions were discussed all over the world, yet nothing happened. It's pointless to expect UEFA to now take such action regarding Turkish referees. That won't happen. UEFA itself is also benefiting from this controversy.

Galatasaray won't be losing to Trabzonspor today. It is not true that cihan Aydin is a Galatasaray fan,people says a lot on social media, if you start believing everything you see on social media,you will be misinformed with wrong informations because social media is full of fake news. Don't be surprise, what you heard about Cihan Aydin is a Rumor.

Fenerbahçe may be the ones dropping points on Sunday since their won't be able to beat Beşiktaş at home. The H2H between Beşiktaş vs Fenerbahçe is what gave me the Impression that Beşiktaş won't lose to Fenerbahçe at home. From the H2H, Besiktas haven't lost to
Fenerbahçe at home since decades and I don't think they will lose on Sunday but perhaps,the game might likely end as a full time Draw. Let's wait and watch how the game will playout but am sure it is going to be an interesting match to watch.

Galatasaray dominating the league for a few years isn't a shocker, it's based on success and success brings in money and when money comes in and you use it well enough, you do better. This team moved from being a team that loses to Copenhagen to a team that beats Ajax, so obviously even if the domestic rivals claim they might be bad, it's clear even in Europe they are decent.

So the only question that is remaining right now is finding out "how" good they are. If they do end up getting six more points and be in top 24, then they are pretty good for their league. Beating their rivals here, even the biggest ones, isn't really that big of a deal because it's like PSG beating Monaco or Marseille, not that shocking.

The pressure will make referees mindful of how they officiate the match, some referees just make decisions based on how they feel without needing replay system to check whether true or force, more eyes on the referees will keep the game more fair, i hope this investigation spreads toward other leagues because there are many doing the same.

I expect Galatasaray to do the usual of winning tonight, if not they settle for a second draw for the season which i perceive but i don't expect them losing to Trabzonspor.

It's obvious that money can have a good impact on a club. Galatasaray spent some good funds on players, and the positive result is visible not just in the Super League but in Europe. Today's game with Trabzonspor is important because both teams occupy the top spots.

Attention now is focused on Cihan Aydın because of the claim that he might favour Galatasaray. I expect him to be fair because all eyes will be on him. The match would be competitive and a chance to watch two Nigerian strikers fighting for three points.

I have no conviction that Galatasaray will in any ways be loosing to Trabzonspor, these two teams are definitely not on same levels, depth wise, strength wise and even tactically.  Trabzonspor will attempt just like every other team will, but they may most likely not be winning  this time, even as I understand that it is football and anything can happen at any time but in this case, the advantage of a team over the other is much that loss is not an option.

That's right money can influence the performance of a team. The money spent to improve the squad is what has helped Galatasaray to be dominating the league now, they are doing really well at the moment and it is visible that the money spent is what is making them perform well.
They signed a few more players, and made sure they got Osimhen at all cost because they know how important he is, they know with him they will be on a different level. I don't think the ref will want to favor Gala in this game because all eyes will be on him.

I believe Galatasaray are the favorites to win the league and about the match I think Galatasaray will win it even if it's with a small margin but the game will be so interesting.

The game is between the top two teams in the current points table, it can be difficult to predict which team will be ahead to win. But in the Turkish league it is very easy to say that Galatasaray is going to win the match, it does not require much logic to say this, their dominance in the Turkish league shows how much they are the favorites to win. For Trabzonspor, a draw against Galatasaray may bring as much joy as a win, but they will definitely go to the field to win. Galatasaray's defeat statistics in the Turkish league are not big, they lost 1 match last season and 2 matches the season before that. They have not lost a match yet this season, that is, they have only suffered 3 defeats in the league so far in the last two seasons and this season. Football is uncertain, maybe they may suffer another defeat today, or not.

The first half is over and man I got so bored...    It's never the kind of a game I expected honestly. I thought we'd watch at least 2 goals in the first half already.

I don't like the way we've performed so far. I'm really frustrated with some meaningless goal attempts. We have only 1 shot on target.

Barış Alper manages to make the fans angrier in every game. I just believe he should be sold for an upgrade as soon as possible.

[xzone]

Not even scoring a goal in a match they dominated so much is a major setback. Galatasaray played very poorly tonight and missed numerous chances. They should have played much differently, especially in the second half. But tonight was no one's day.
Trabzonspor must be thrilled with this draw; they didn't fall too far from the top spot and managed to earn a point from a crucial match. If Fenerbahçe drops points, they'll remain second in the table for the top spot

It was a boring match, for sure. It was a pointless struggle throughout. Trabzonspor defended well; they had only lost once so far, and they were unbeaten today. I'm sure it was a satisfying result for Trabzonspor. I had high hopes for Galatasaray in this match, but I had a feeling it would be this way. Even though Galatasaray didn't win this match, they're still undefeated in the league. Their game just needs to improve, Okan Buruk must do his part.

The match between Galatasaray and Trabzonspor ended in a draw, with both teams earning one point.

I think it’s a good result for both sides. In the last 15 minutes, Galatasaray played more dominantly but couldn’t score, so the match ended in a draw.

I really liked Lemina’s performance, he played very well even though it’s not his natural position.

The point gap between the first and second place didn’t increase, which I think is a good thing.

It was a result both teams could accept. It was a somewhat frustrating match, I wouldn't say so for the fans. There were times when Galatasaray put pressure, but they couldn't find a goal. The match was fairly managed throughout. It seems like it's time for Galatasaray to let go of Icardi, he seems to have reached the end of his rope. Sane, on his day, plays well, and he's not a sustainable player; it seems he's not trusted every match.
