Galatasaray will win of course, they are strong this year. Their squad looks solid, and the team has good chemistry. But you know, Turkish teams are often not very stable in terms of performance. So today I can predict Galata, and tomorrow the prediction may change

[blomen]

since matches in the turkish cup are played on a knockout basis starting from the quarter-finals, there is a high probability of seeing different results from that season's champion. even if the highest chance of winning the championship is given to the league favorite, surprises are more common here. predicting the champion is definitely more difficult than in the super league. you can understand why i say this just by looking at past winners and finals.

no team has won the turkish cup back-to-back in the last 10 years, which is another statistic. if you think this streak will continue because galatasaray is the current champion, you might want to consider predicting another team.

Antalyaspor defeated Bursaspor 3-0 at home in the Turkish Cup. Antalyaspor had a clear advantage in the game, and Bursaspor had too many players missing from their squad. Perhaps if Bursaspor had a full squad, the match could have ended differently. I would like to make a special mention of the Bursaspor fans. Despite their team being relegated, they fill the stands for every match and, on top of that, they also fill the away stands. Antalyaspor's fans didn't show much interest in the match, but the Bursaspor away stand was full, and they made their team feel as if they were playing at home. Perhaps the Bursaspor squad's absences were a deliberate decision.

It's an incredible statistic that in the last 10 years different teams have always won. 7 different teams have won them. Apart from the Big 4, Sivasspor, Akhisarspor and Konyaspor won. I'm pretty sure that this year the cup will go to one of the Big 4 again. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe have very busy fixtures, they may not advance much in the cup. If Beşiktaş make this trophy a target, the chances of winning them are very high. Last season they were doing well, but after Tayyip Talha got a ridiculous red card in the Göztepe match and sold the game, they were out of chances. Without that incident Beşiktaş could've won the cup for the second time in a row.

That's what football is like. When everything is going well, a red card can change the course of the entire game. Beşiktaş couldn't advance in the cup last year because of this. I hope they don't experience a similar situation this year. Considering Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have European matches, I don't think they'll pay much attention to the Turkish Cup. They'll be playing with their second-team squads. We also see other teams prioritizing the Turkish Cup. I hope it's a great tournament.

Although I voted that Galastaray will win the competition but I share the same thought as you. The Yellow-Reds might not give much attention to the Turkish Cup. Clubs that are competing in European competitions will want to reserve their best players for important games. They would want to avoid injuries and fatigue, so other players would be given the chance to feature. However, some clubs are so ambitious that they want to win double or triple trophies.

Perhaps the Bursaspor squad's absences were a deliberate decision.

We saw all match and we saw excellent effort by players of only 1 team . Antalyaspor team performance was at top because players looked in confidence and they did back to back goals in this match and opponent team score was no goal in this match. Bursaspor team tried to do goal in this match but they could not do any goal at the end of the  match. The stats of Antalyaspor team was also very well and that was the reason they won this match one sided. That team shots try to make their defense strong if they want to win against big teams.Bursaspor team could not attack in this match and they played defensive and did not the to do goals in this match and we saw one sided match.

The fourth round matches began today.
Konyaspor defeated their weaker opponent Muş Spor Kulübü 4-0. Keçiörengücü pulled off a surprise by eliminating Super League team Kayserispor. Çaykur Rizespor showed no mercy to Pendikspor, scoring 6 goals.
In the day's final match, Sakaryaspor and Gençlerbirliği failed to score in the first 55 minutes. Sekou Koita missed a penalty.
The big 3 are not playing in this round. Trabzonspor will play their match tomorrow. Things will be excited after this round.

[blomen]

the top two teams in the super league, galatasaray and fenerbahçe, have so much to do both in europe and in the super league that i don't know how they plan to assemble a squad for this tournament. fenerbahçe has more depth than galatasaray, so maybe they have a chance.

apart from these teams, my favorite for the turkish cup this season is trabzonspor. they aren't competing in europe, and they're quietly keeping pace with fenerbahçe and galatasaray in the league. if they fall too far behind to make progress in the league, the turkish cup will be their top priority.

Since there is almost no prize money, big clubs don't care much about this cup. Actually, winning a cup is always prestigious. However, it's not really possible to motivate players without money, especially in this day and age.

Today's interesting results we saw second division club Aliağa eliminate first division team Sivasspor. They won the match 3-1, even though they played with 10 men from the 23rd minute onwards.
Meanwhile, Göztepe, fourth in the Super League, was eliminated after losing to Beyoğlu Yeniçarşıspor, a weak team from the second division. Beyoğlu Yeniçarşıspor had only 2 wins in 13 matches in their own league. This result has dampened Göztepe's spirits.

The big 3 are not playing in this round. Trabzonspor will play their match tomorrow. Things will be excited after this round.

We saw match between Muş 1984 Muşspor football team and Konyaspor football team and that was one sided game because one team did back to back goals in this match and opponent team could do only 1 goal in this match and Melih Bostan was a person who did 2 goals in this match and he was top performer of this match. He did his first goal at 53 minutes of the match and gave good strength to his team and many other players played crutial role to win this match and we watched all match because players performance was at top and that was the reason they won this match at the end.Josip Ćalušić  did his second goal at 92 minutes when match was close to end . Josip Ćalušić  class was also osum in this match.

[LGD2Business]

There were no surprises today. Gaziantep FK beat Yalova FK. Boluspor eliminated Kahta 02 Spor. Second division team Fethiyespor eliminated first division team Bandırmaspor, but I can't call this a surprise because Fethiyespor is doing well. Iğdır FK defeated Orduspor 1967 SK. Antalyaspor defeated Silifke Belediye Spor with a single goal.
In the last match of the day, Alanyaspor will most likely beat Çorum FK. The real excitement will be in the group stage draw. Lower league teams will especially want to be paired with the big 3. After all, they don't always get the chance to play against them.

The Turkish Cup is a meaningless trophy for many teams, especially the big ones. However, for smaller teams, it's a competition where they can showcase their talent. That's why the big teams don't pay much attention, but we see smaller teams playing very seriously here. Furthermore, some surprise eliminations happen every year. Göztepe's elimination surprised me because Göztepe is in a really good position in the Süper Lig.

  Sivasspor, on the other hand, is seen as a team that plays entirely with substitutes. They clearly don't care about the Turkish Cup. I wasn't surprised by their elimination. The winner of the Turkish Cup changes every year. The number of teams that will advance to the next stage is determined, and the big teams will now start playing in the Turkish Cup. Let's see if a team emerges among them that surprises everyone with an early elimination.

[LGD2Business]

The group draw for the cup has been conducted. The groups are as follows:

Group A: Galatasaray, Başakşehir, Trabzonspor, Alanyaspor, Karagümrük, İstanbulspor, Boluspor, Fethiyespor
Group B: Samsunspor, Eyüpspor, Konyaspor, Antalyaspor, Gençlerbirliği, Bodrum FK, Iğdır FK, Aliağa FK
Group C: Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Rizespor, Gaziantep FK, Kocaelispor, Erzurumspor FK, Altınordu, Beyoğlu Yeni Çarşı

Although there are 8 teams in each group, each team will only play 4 matches. This creates an interesting situation. Because only Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are seeded teams playing each other. And this match will be played at Fenerbahçe's home ground. Even here, strange things are happening. There should be no league system in the cup. There should be either a single-match or a two-match knockout system. We've been advocating this for years. But the federation keeps trying different things every season.

[MK-74]

The first match of Group A was played between Fatih Karagümrük and İstanbulspor and ended in a 0–0 draw.

The other match to be played is Trabzonspor vs Alanyaspor.
Trabzonspor would normally be the favorite in this match, but they are tired due to the Beşiktaş derby they played three days ago, and there is a possibility that they could lose this game.

The first match of Group C will be Çaykur Rizespor vs Gaziantep FK.
I think Rizespor will win, as Gaziantep FK currently do not have a head coach.

[blomen]

The first match of Group C will be Çaykur Rizespor vs Gaziantep FK.
I think Rizespor will win, as Gaziantep FK currently do not have a head coach.

the match started with a very quick goal and ended with a 5-2 victory for rizespor. halil dervişoğlu scored 4 of the 5 goals for çaykur rizespor. altin zeqiri contributed to these goals with 3 assists. we saw individual performances in this match that we don't normally see.

tomorrow, we'll be watching the galatasaray vs. başakşehir match in group a. galatasaray is the favorite, but the team is experiencing some pacing issues; hopefully, this won't affect the match.

[Black Mbaye]

The cup matches are ongoing, and Trabzonspor is currently playing against Alanyaspor. Trabzonspor, one of the biggest contenders for the championship, seems to have given more importance to the league, as their cup squad consists mostly of reserve players. Because teams don't prioritize the cup, we often see them eliminated early from cup competitions. It's difficult to predict who will win the Turkish Cup this year.

[LGD2Business]

The group stage matches are being played in the cup. So far, there hasn't been an exciting match. There's a big derby next week, which will get the ratings through the roof. The other matches only offer daily excitement during the week for small bettors. There's not much point in following the matches of small teams you don't support.
Switching to this format for the cup wasn't a good move, but the broadcaster hasn't realized that yet. A single-elimination system is best. The winner advances, the loser is eliminated. With a group stage and points system, it feels more like a league than a cup.

Trabzonspor has a problem breaking down a deep and compact defense.After the substitutions, they created many chances but still couldn’t score. They really need a sharp, predatory striker. Actually there was a very determined team in the second half but in the end it doesn’t mean much if you don’t score.
