Its not surprising to see lower teams hitting higher rounds in Turkish cup in my opinion. My favourite is obviously Galatasaray, but I think tight schedule of bigger teams make them rotate their squad and this can cause weird issues, like eliminating to weak teams.
Galatasaray might not actually be the current leaders in the Turkish Super Lig but I still consider them as the strongest Turkish team at the moment and that's because I think they have greater number of top quality players than any other club in the country. Fenerbahce who currently occupies the first position of the Turkish league standings is the other strong team that's capable of stopping Galatasaray. So I think the two teams are my favorites to win the Turkish Cup this season.
Good choice, you make Galatasaray and Fenerbahce as favorites who will have the opportunity to win the 2024 Turkish Cup and of course that is the right choice considering that both teams are the top and strongest during this season.
It just that we will have difficulties if we have to choose which one of the two will win the Turkish Cup later, they each have advantages and can always get satisfactory results from each match.
There is no other team that seems capable of matching and competing with Galatasaray or Fenerbahce, so it is not impossible that other team will be eliminated by themselves in this competition.
Besiktas is the only team that might be able to compete and be able to hinder Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in the race for the Turkish Cup, but if you look at Besiktas matches and performance in the Turkish Super League, it is clear that they have not been able to match their performance with Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
Maybe Besiktas will only be the third team in the 2024 Turkish Cup competition.
