Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Yabani]

The Turkish league kicked off with some surprising results in the first week. Galatasaray drew 2-2. Fenerbahçe lost 2-1. Trabzonspor drew 1-1. I am eager to see what kind of result Beşiktaş will achieve on Sunday.
I consider such dropped points in the opening week to be normal.

The VAR officials performed very poorly during the Fenerbahçe match.
I don't know what they were thinking in those situations that led them not to alert the referee. If the VAR audio recordings are released this season, we might find out.
These two clear errors caused Fenerbahçe to drop points in the first week.

Salah came on for Trabzonspor but failed to make much of an impact. He will likely improve as time goes on.
Right now, Onuachu is the player in the worst form at Trabzonspor. I saw him in the pre-season friendlies, too; he was extremely poor. Onuachu urgently needs to find his form.

Fenerbahçe started the league with a defeat, but the main talking point after the match is that they were denied two clear penalties.
A situation similar to the one involving Mert Müldür occurred with Yamal during the match against France at the World Cup, and the referee awarded a penalty.
Today, however, Fenerbahçe was not awarded a penalty in a similar situation.
The ball struck Goutas's hand during Talisca's shot, yet VAR did not award a penalty.
In both instances, it was difficult for the referee to spot the incidents.
Fenerbahçe dropped 3 points in the very first week due to two clear errors.

I don't like when a team emphasize much about penalties that they were denied because on paper we all concluded that Fenerbahce will win but it wasn't so in the playing field. Fenerbahce should admit their mistakes because they would have won this match if they had scored another goal after Talisca scored.

The referee and VAR needs to act professional this season and take actions in obvious cases, they shouldn't repeat what they did last season because the Turkish league is becoming popular so they should not make people begin to doubt the fairness in the league. There were a lot of complaints about referees and VAR last season, they need to avoid such cases again this season.

Fenerbahçe started the league with a defeat, and the primary parties responsible for this are, first, manager İsmail Kartal, and second, the VAR officials.

İsmail Kartal fielded a rotated squad with the upcoming match against Lyon on Tuesday in mind, and he made a mistake in doing so; he acknowledged this error in his post-match statement.

I also fail to understand how the VAR officials overlooked two clear penalties.
Mahmut Uslu voiced very harsh criticisms after the match, and in my opinion, he is 100% right.
We are taking the field today. I hope we defeat Eyüpspor and kick off the league campaign with three points.

I am certainly not writing Besiktas off, but to be honest Fenerbahçe is currently the strongest team in the Turkish league. Besiktas made wonderful signings, but out of all those signings, only two players were in form last season (Trossard and Vlahaovic), I don't think the other signings are enough to rate them much higher.

Fenerbahçe has strengthened the squad in almost all positions, and I think they are worthy to be called title contenders for next season.
As for Besiktas, I would say we should watch out for them next season, they might contest for the title next season who knows, but I am sure they will do well compared to their last season performance.

For me, Fenerbahce is currently the team with the most desire and interest in finishing a championship in an absolutely positive way.
I absolutely wouldn't leave out Galatasaray because for me they are at the same level, while i see Besiktas as a team still in transition, trying to compete in a more decisive way, since they have made two important purchases in Trossard and Vlahovic.

if Fenerbahçe finds a world class goalkeeper and closes the transfer window with them, they have a chance at the championship. but without signing a goalkeeper, i dont believe they can become champions.

if Aziz Yıldırım says he is here for the championship, he must find a goalkeeper no matter what...

Fenerbahce has a much strengthened team compared to last year, consequently it is certainly one of the contenders for the final title, since Galatasaray is infuriating their fans in the transfer market due to a transfer window that is really too poor for the Turks' standards.

The Turkish league has started in the most unpredictable way possible. First, Galatasaray drew, and then Fenerbahce lost. It’s very strange to see the top teams dropping points in the very first round. I hope Besiktas can win their home game, that seems more realistic, but there have been so many unexpected results in the first round. I think a lot of bettors lost their bets because of this. By the way, the same thing happened in the Portuguese league.

It's really strange man, really... I don't even remember the last time this kind of an opening happened in the Turkish Super League. In which nearly all top teams lost points I mean.

I say "nearly" because Beşiktaş still haven't played as you also mentioned. Their opponent is Eyüpspor who barely survived in this league last season. I don't think they can resist Beşiktaş while they are still dealing with serious problems.

The Turkish league has not had a good start for the big teams. Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Trabzonspor all failed to secure a win. Despite Fernabache suffering a defeat, I think the most shocking result was the Galatasaray draw with Çorum yesterday. It was quite unexpected because Gala was playing at home against a newly promoted side, and most fans expected Gala to have an easy win. Tomorrow, all eyes will be on Besiktas, and I hope they can get off to a good start.

I’m sick and tired of people here who can’t even spell team names. I don’t even think you watch the league. The most shocking result of the week was definitely Fenerbahçe’s loss. And actually most people were expecting Galatasaray to have a bad start because they didn’t make any transfers at all.

It would be good for Beşiktaş if they got off to a strong start in the first week and secured the top spot. They’ve been lagging behind in the title race for seasons now, and maybe what they need is to take the reins right from the start.

In the matches played last night, both teams managed to score against each other.

Gaziantep FK drew 1–1 at home against Alanyaspor. Alanyaspor took the lead in the first half with a goal from Duarte. In the second half, Gaziantep managed to equalise with a superb goal from Sorescu. Gaziantep had more possession but failed to secure a win.

Fenerbahçe suffered an unexpected defeat in their opening match. Despite scoring the first goal away at Gençlerbirliği, the first half ended in a 1-1 draw. As expected, Fenerbahçe were the side with the majority of possession, but they were unable to create the desired scoring opportunities or convert them. Naturally, this proved costly for them.

First Galatasaray, then Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe all started the season by losing points. In my previous commentary, I mentioned that the Turkish Super League is a competitive league and that results like these shouldn’t come as a surprise...

In a week where all the top contenders have lost points, Beşiktaş will face Eyüpspor tonight. Of course, Beşiktaş is the favorite, but we must remain open to any surprise outcome...

Beşiktaş found its rhythm in European cup matches before the league began. That’s why I don’t think they’ll face a surprise like Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, or Trabzonspor did. But I want to emphasize that they won all their European cup matches by a single goal. So, in my opinion, Beşiktaş will win this match, and there won’t be many goals scored...
