The match will be played in Bolu and heavy snowfall may affect Galatasaray's game. We also see that they went to Bolu with young players. If we talk about Fenerbahçe, they took the field with important players and everyone was waiting for this victory. They gained some morale by scoring five goals. Fenerbahçe, competing for the championship in the league, needs such multi-goal victories in their fight against Galatasaray.
In my opinion at this time galatasaray is more inclined to want to maintain the performance and stamina of its main players so they prefer to play their reserve players in turkish cup match, moreover boluspor is not a team that has the potential to make it difficult for them in the match, what galatasaray is doing in my opinion is right because at this time they need to maintain the balance of the team for superlig and also UEL, while Fenerbache who fielded the majority of his main squad in the match, I think, Mourinho did not want to risk losing points in the only domestic competition that was their chance to win the trophy at this time, because on the other hand, their chances of winning the superlig were very difficult with 6 points behind Galatasaray.
Also makes sense because Galatasaray has other important match in the Turkish Super League and the Europa League, the most important for them is the Europa League, after all in the end Galatasaray still managed to easily get the win.
And for Fenerbahce with really focused and maximized performance here because Mourinho is coach with lot of ambition, he will optimize his squad in every match from all competitions and that is not something surprising.

Yesterday Sivasspor won the match 2-0 against Kocaelispor but today they were officially declared a forfeit defeat in the cup match. They were penalized for playing with Murat Paluli, who had received a red card in a league match. Although his suspension hadn't been officially confirmed, it was widely expected that he would be banned for at least one match. It's hard to understand how Sivasspor's management made such a mistake. They ended up losing a match they had already won, and three points went to waste.

Galatasaray won the match easily. It ended 4-1.
Morata scored his first goal with Galatasaray.
I don't understand why Efe Akman is on this team, he doesn't contribute at all, he is not a good player. He is currently playing for Galatasaray because he is Ayhan Akman's son. The rights of other young talents are being violated. Ayhan Akman and Efe Akman should definitely be sent off the team.
i wish players wouldn’t get special treatment just because of who their parents are. efe akman is obviously not at galatasaray’s level. if yusuf demir had been subbed in instead of him, maybe things would have been better. 

galatasaray has been testing efe akman for a long time. it’s clear that it’s not working, and as fans, we don’t want it either. that means he should either leave or stop playing. we have plenty of other players eager to get a chance at galatasaray.

Fenerbahçe won comfortably. Erzurumspor came out to play defense. They had no chance against an opponent like Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe will finish the group as the leader.

Galatasaray - Boluspor match will start in a little while. I think Galatasaray will win. Morata will start the match in the first 11.
Yesterday we saw one sided match between Fenerbahçe football team and Erzurumspor football team. Fenerbahçe football team did 5 goals and opponent team could not do any goal in this match and that was a match of Turkish Cup  and winner was Fenerbahçe team .En-Nesyri   played very excellent in this match and he did 2 goals in this match and played end role in this match because without his goals, match could end with 3-0 result. Fenerbahçe is top class team of the tournament and after this win, that team has 6 points on the table which is very excellent.  Talisca did first goal of the match and first goal was at 33 minutes and we saw back to back goals in this match.Fenerbahçe team head to head performance is dominanting because both teams played 4 matches and for 3 times , Fenerbahçe was winner of the matches and one match was draw .

Who do you think will be the champion? Don't forget to vote.
Although I did not follow the Turkish Cup routinely, but I had a good impression for the Turkish Cup team in gambling betting, where I had placed bets for the US Istanbulspor team vs. Kasimpasa in the group phase for Istanbulspor and I succeeded with a score.

In today's phase there are two more teams competing.
1. Boluspor vs Galatasaray,
2. Alanyaspor vs F. Karagumruk.

But I doubt not placing bets for Bolusports vs. Galatasaray, even though they are ongoing right now -+15 minutes, but I will try to place a bet for Alanyaspor vs F. Karagumruk this phase and I hope I can be lucky.

For that anyone who wins in the final this time for the Turkish Cup can enter the UEFA European League the following season, I'm sure the club and team in Turkey have the best opportunities and players who can step into the UEFA European League the following season.

I will choose in the semi -finals and final later.

Galatasaray after messing up in the first match they ended up in second match winning easily. Galatasaray is in a really good form and Morata also scored his first goal for Galatasaray aswell. Galatasaray is now on second place and can qualify with this spot. Alanyaspor also won heavily against Karagumruk

There were no surprises in this week's matches. Only Trabzonspor's draw can be described as a surprise, but other than that all the favorite teams won. This is the way it should be because there are serious quality differences between the teams.
If there are no surprises in the last week matches, the favorite teams will advance from the groups, but the team that loses in the last week will say goodbye to the cup early. Because they made groups with 6 teams and there are only 3 matches. Even with 6 points there is a possibility of not getting out of the group. This is also a strange situation. They didn't think about this when they organized the new cup format.
Galatasaray are on 4 points, they have to win their last game for sure. Beşiktaş is on 6 points, but if they lose their last game, there is a possibility that all three teams in the group will be on 6 points. In this case, triple averages will come into play. It has been a strange group stage.

There is no snowfall at the moment in the match. The stadium is in very good condition and they can play comfortably. Boluspor will show their best performance and try to prove something against Galatasaray, but Galatasaray is a very strong opponent and they will probably win this match easily. Coach Okan Buruk is also giving some young players a chance in the match. If there is no surprise, we will watch Galatasaray win.

Fenerbahçe are hosting Erzurumspor and the game started a short time ago. Of course nothing less than 3 points is acceptable for us. Erzurumspor are performing in the 2nd league. Point loss would be very disappointing as a result. By the way Talisca is in the starting lineup. He was so close to scoring a very impressive goal against Rizespor last week. He looks really eager to play well for now but we will see in the long run. Smiley I would like to see him making a score contribution today.
Talisca scored, Fenerbahçe won 5-0. En Nesyri performed well enough to be the player of the match despite being substituted later. He scored 2 goals and managed to continue his form in the Turkish Cup. Erzurumspor was not ambitious and did nothing but defend in the match. The biggest problem for Fenerbahçe was that 3 defenders were injured in one match.

I wonder what Mourinho had in mind when he didn't rotate enough in the cup match. Fenerbahçe would have beaten Erzurumspor FK anyway. In the same match, they had 3 stopper injured at the same time. Djiku came off after the injury and Diego Carlos came on. 5 minutes later Diego Carlos was injured, Yusuf Akçiçek came on. Not 15 minutes later, he got injured too. It was both unlucky and very imprudent. Mourinho should have rotated more. They won with 5 goals, but it looks like their loss was much bigger.

Talisca scored his goal today, but he still has a lot of shortcomings. Before the match, Mourinho said he would let him play for 60 minutes and he took him off in the 60th minute of the match.
Fenerbahçe won the match with a different score of 5-0, but more importantly, the defensive zone suffered injuries and left the game. First Djiku, then Carlos and finally young Yusuf had injury problems and had to leave the game.
I hope these players' injuries will not be long-term.
There is a very important match against Alanya at the weekend and Mourinho will not have any problems in establishing the defensive line.

Iskenderunspor - Trabzonspor match ended 2-2.
I think most people thought Trabzonspor would win but it didn't happen that way.
Trabzonspor is the favorite of this group.

I also thought that Trabzonspor would win the game, but I didn't rush to place a bet. I kept following the game to see which market I would bet on. I confess that it is difficult to find a site that shows these Turkish Cup games and the one I found was very slow, so I had to keep following the stake and just see the ball moving with lines and the team name, but it was enough to allow me to conclude that there would be a maximum of 4 goals and I placed my bet.



Bodrum FK is currently beating Antalyaspor 2-1 and will most likely win the match. Because Antalyaspor came to the match with a reserve squad.

and the game ended 3-1

I am watching the İskenderunspor Trabzonspor match and the ground of the field attracted the attention of many people, including me.
Even though Iskenderun is a team in the lower leagues, the field ground should not be this bad. I don't think this ground is grass. It seems like grass has grown at certain points and sometimes there is grass. Iskenderun players may be used to this ground, but it is a great chance not to get injured on this field. It seems interesting to me that while there is so much interest in football in Turkey, the grounds of the fields are so bad.

It's strange that Trabzonspor is losing at the moment I'm writing my post, they conceded 2 goals and scored 1, I honestly expected them to at least win this game, but I see that at most they could get a draw, they are having more possession of the ball, but they are not being able to be effective in attack. I also find it strange that I'm not seeing the Fenerbahce game as a betting option in the stake

Besiktas win again today against Kırklarelispor with score of 2 - 0 and the victory made Besiktas temporarily lead group D with 6 points that they have saved, for another interesting match today is Antalyaspor against Bodrum and it seems that Antalyaspor will be able to win again to be able to equal points with Besiktas.

In the cup game against Kırklarelispor today, Beşiktaş's overall performance looked insufficient. Yes, there was squad rotation, the opponent was weak, and given the cup format, even a narrow win was enough, but fans expect more from this team. The attack being this stagnant, even against lower-level opponents, is simply unacceptable.

Muçi and Mario were decent today, but Semih, Mustafa, Onur, and Salih fell well below expectations. If they can't make an impact in a game like this, when will they?
In the end, winning and moving forward is always good, but there's a lot that needs to improve in their gameplay. You can't perform like this against stronger opponents.

The second matches in the group stage of the Turkish Cup started today.

In Group C, Konyaspor made it two from two by beating Eyüpspor and took a big advantage to get out of the group with 6 points.

In Group D Beşiktaş beat Kırklarelispor 2-0 and reached 6 points. Beşiktaş didn't attack much in the first half and scored the goals in the second half. I expected more effort from the players. It was obvious that we would win this match but I expected to see a more ambitious and more attacking game.
Kırklarelispor played Beşiktaş for the first time in their history. The players did their best but the difference in quality showed.

Players who played little time in Beşiktaş's league matches will play against Kırklarelispor in the cup match today.
Beşiktaş is at the top with the quality of its squad, but I wonder what kind of harmony the players will have on the field.
Under normal circumstances, Beşiktaş must score at least 5 goals.
Kırklareli is a team from the two lower leagues and they have been out of form in the last matches, but they can see this match as a showcase match and compete very well on the field.
Generally, players from lower leagues make a good effort to prove themselves in such matches.

Maybe Fenerbahçe could focus on the Turkish Cup as much as possible if we don't manage to catch up with Galatasaray in the Turkish league. We shouldn't finish the season without a trophy. We can't win a trophy since the one we got in the Turkish Cup in the 22/23 season. Sad We could find Beşiktaş against us as the toughest opponent here if they manage to start showing better performances later on. There is Galatasaray too but they don't look good in this cup for now and for years also. That performance against Başakşehir wasn't impressive.

Is very good opportunity for them, in the Turkish League the difference between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce difference 11 points and this is big enough number to chase even though Fenerbahce has 1 match that they have not played, it is still difficult to impossible for Fenerbahce to surpass it considering Galatasaray performance is quite strong and they are very consistent.
Just that here in the Turkish Cup, Galatasaray and Besiktas as well as several other team are also not easy opponents for Fenerbahce if they want to fight for the championship title, the competition will indeed be different from the Turkish League but certainly some of the top team can make it difficult.

We won against a team playing with reserve squad indeed. I don't know what would have happened otherwise. Because Kasımpaşa are always full of surprises against big teams of the Turkish league. I wonder what we will do especially against Göztepe if they play with their main squad. But we would finish in top 2 anyway I guess.

Yesterday Galatasaray surprised me by drawing with Başakşehir. They could have even lost the match as well as they got behind 2 times. There was some rotation in the match squad but I thought they would still manage to win. Betting on Turkish Cup matches looks quite risky for now. Sad

Kasımpaşa is competing in the cup with a squad of young players. That's why it was a very easy match for Fenerbahçe. On one side there was a team with a total starting 11 worth only 500k Euro, on the other side there was a huge squad worth 84 million Euro. En Nesyri continued to score goals. Cenk Tosun got the assist. It was a chance for the players who didn't get much chance in the league to show themselves. Fenerbahçe could have won differently. 18-year-old Yusuf Akçiçek scored his first goal for the first team. Bartuğ Elmaz also made good use of his chance. This match is not a benchmark as it was like a training match. It's important to get 3 points in the new format. They have achieved this. Since Gaziantep FK and Göztepe also won, it's already clear that this group will be much more competitive than others.

Fenerbahçe took the field with mostly reserve players, yes, but these players are players who were bought with big money.

They are falling apart on the field. A parenthesis is for Osai. His contract is ending and he wants 2.5 million euros from the club. Fenerbahçe offered 2 million euros. Neither 2 nor 200 thousand euros is more for this guy. He has no crosses, no right-wing attacks, no assists, nothing like that, Turkey is full of players like him. Send them away immediately.
In addition, Kasımpaşa team took the field with the U19 team, a team like Fenerbahçe should score at least 5-6 goals, but they play such indifferent football that their fans will go crazy.
Nothing will happen from this team. If Kasımpaşa had taken the field with the As team, they would have easily defeated Fenerbahçe.

The Başakşehir match showed that Galatasaray's reserves are very bad. Galatasaray urgently need to focus on transfers to ensure success in all competitions. Although the master plan is working perfectly, there are problems with rotation. Okan Buruk should have gone into this game with the starting line up and then turned to the substitutes once he had the scoring advantage, but he tried the opposite.

The good thing about this match for Galatasaray was that the technical team realized where transfers were needed. Because Galatasaray's substitutes are not contributing to the team. Galatasaray will play Başakşehir again this weekend. I think Başakşehir players will be tired in this match because they were on the pitch with a full squad in the cup match. As far as the refereeing is concerned, there were no problems in the match and there were no decisions that would disrupt the flow of the match.

I thought Galatasaray would get such a result because we took the field with the reserve squad. It's a normal result for me.

Bathuayi is playing very badly and he started to play worse every day. He should show himself in such matches, but he doesn't care.

Today, Kasımpaşa and Fenerbahçe will face each other and Fenerbahçe announced yesterday whether they will participate in the cup or not.

This is also strange. Can teams from quality leagues in Europe do something like this? I wonder if they will participate or not?

If both teams played this match with their A teams, Kasımpaşa would win and I would play. Fenerbahçe would participate but mostly as a substitute, I don't know if they will play with the U-19s. Kasımpaşa had previously said they would play with the U-19s but I don't know if they will do something like this against Fenerbahçe.

The Turkish Cup doesn't have a proper system either. Things change every year. It's like a test drive. Even this shows how far behind we are in football. There are 2 more cups in England outside the league. It would be better if they take them as an example and add 1 more cup and the winner of that cup goes to Europe. Of course, since the Super League clubs have the upper hand, no TFF president dares to do this.

There was a Galatasaray-Başakşehir match in the Turkish Cup today and it ended in a 2-2 draw. Mitcy Batshuayi missed a penalty in the last part of the match, Mertens could have used the penalty kick instead. Galatasaray needs to find a solution for defense during the transfer period, we see as many goals as we score.

Başakşehir also played a good match, but there were big mistakes and carelessness in Galatasaray defense, they caught it well.
This is home game for Galatasaray, surprising that they could only get draw against Basaksehir with the advantage on paper, every good chance was to win and all those chances were just complete failure that was completely useless.
Still in the group stage but they performed less than satisfactory, if it continues Galatasaray will not show their quality and impressive match even though they are considered as one of the teams that can compete for the Turkish Cup title.

Başakşehir could have won the match. They fought very well. Many people showed Galatasaray as the favorite, but Galatasaray had a hard time. Also, they missed a penalty in the last minute, Batshuayi can be blamed for this. He could not take a penalty even though he was a forward. Also, goalkeeper Muhammed Şengezer was very successful for Başakşehir. We have to say this. We drew with Galatasaray in the first match in the Turkish Cup. Frankly, I think this was a surprise.

I dont know its like Galatasaray has every match a penalty. This time they got a draw but its still a cup match so they still have time to make things right and go through. Galatasaray has an amazing attack and always makes up for the mistakes in defence but they need to bring some defencive players to make a really good team and that they start protecting their goal.

Başakşehir played well but had to settle for a draw. There were 4 goals, red cards, penalties, everything. Galatasaray took advantage of their large squad. But the penalty they missed in the last minutes was unfortunate for them. I think this is not a bad result for both teams. Depending on the situation of Eyüpspor and Konyaspor, this extra 1 point can even bring them the round.
Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş are currently very advantageous in their group because they beat their direct opponents in the group. All Group B matches will be played tomorrow. The new format doesn't allow for many surprises, but there could still be a big team that doesn't advance from their group.
It was a game that had everything, the goals, bundles of yellow card, red cad, key saves, penalties, but it ended in a draw. Galatasaray was in a sole position to win this game, even got a last minute penalty which was missed by mitchy Batshuayi. It been really hard for him getting much game time, with the arrival of victor osimehn, it was clear that he would struggle to get minute this season, so tournament like this is where he is going to get his minutes and I wish he had scored from the spot. He have 5 league goals already this season, even though he comes from the bench.

Galatasaray will sure qualify from the group stage of the Turkish cup, in this group I don’t see a team that will trouble them that much aside Basaksehir they played today. A point is not bad, all focus will now be on weekend as they still play basaksehir in the league only that this time it away from home. It going to be another tough match for both team and exciting one for spectators.

Beşiktaş beat their tough opponent 1-0 and got their first win.
This win was good for Beşiktaş because they were not doing well in the league.

Antalyaspor beat Kocaelispor 3-1, it was an easy match for Antalyaspor.

Fatih Karagümrük beat Rizespor 1-0 with a goal in the last minute and started the groups well.

The most important match of tomorrow will be the Galatasaray - Başakşehir.

Beşiktaş won their first and in my opinion the most difficult game of the group round and most probably secured their advancing from the group. There is no chance they will lose points in their home game against Kırklarelispor. Therefore, 6 points will be enough to be top 2 in the group. In this group, Sivasspor and Antalyaspor had a chance to advance with Beşiktaş. Sivasspor lost today and reduced their chances even more.
The game wasn't very good but we have to remember that this is a cup match and a group stage. The only aim of the players was to get 3 points and they did that. On Mario's assist, Rafa Silva hit the ball well and scored a clear goal. Other than that, their offensive variations were weak. At least they gained some morale with a win after a bad run in the league.

This season the new format looks really interesting. They tried to inspire from the Champions League format and prepare a new format according to that. But I don't think that there was really such need for the Turkish Cup. It was better when it was simple. Smiley They changed the format quite often in the past as well. I think this one won't last very long either. Anyway I still see Beşiktaş as the biggest favourite for the trophy. They play really differently here.

It was a strange draw. For some reason, it's all working in Galatasaray's favor again. Galatasaray will play 1 easy game away and 2 home games. But Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş will play 2 away games and 1 home game. Beşiktaş will play their easy game at home and 2 difficult away games. It's as if they want these teams to get tired in the cup, have an impact on the league and let Galatasaray become champion comfortably. With the example of Beşiktaş, who played all their matches away after the Europa League, this federation has no validity left. Football in Türkiye, with all its institutions, takes every decision in favor of Galatasaray. In the future, this period will go down in history as a black stain. I hope we can see those who caused this being tried and punished, but I don't think so.

I hope the new format won't be too bad, but I always prefer the single-game elimination system in these kinds of cups. There is no point in changing the cup format to a league, when the league is already being played.
Well I think all these new formats are only targeted at increasing the revenues they accrue as a result of the multiple games that are involved in competitions thereby neglecting the negative impact this would have on the health of the players both mentally and physically. These players are already engaged in multiple competitions and shouldn't be dragged into more games just like what we now see in the champions league, for me the group stage settings was far more better and interesting than what we have now.

Interesting results today. 2nd division team İskenderunspor defeated Super League team Hatayspor 1-0 and eliminated them. Another 2nd league team Kırklarelispor also eliminated Super league team Adana Demirspor by beating them 2-0. Kasımpaşa, who took the field with their U19 team, is 1-0 up against Gençlerbirliği and it looks like the match will end like this.
I wonder if this round will end as soon as possible so we can see how the group draws will be and how the new format will work. Cup games are not really enjoyable without the big teams getting involved.

We will look for the old system in the new cup format, now have a similar format in European leagues.
For the cup, having 4 groups and the teams collecting points there can keep the teams a little more inventive. Unfortunately, although I am not happy with this situation due to Fenerbahçe's retreat from the cup.
Beşiktaş may be a team that is a little more willing and will focus on the cup. Galatasaray has a ranking that needs to be maintained in the league.
Trabzonspor can also focus on the cup, they are not good in the league and will have difficulty in the cup. According to Galatasaray and Beşiktaş.

Fenerbahçe announced that they wouldn't participate in the Turkish Cup and the federation confirmed this. But it was rumored that Fenerbahçe had a penalty from last year, so they wouldn't be participating in the cup this season anyway. It's an interesting situation. I think all teams should be in the cup, lack of competition is not good.
It's hard to talk about favorites at the moment because the group stage is a first time format and we don't know how it will turn out. But the natural favorites are of course Beşiktaş and Galatasaray. Considering Trabzonspor is also having a bad time in the league, they might give importance to this cup.

Beşiktaş would focus on the Turkish Cup because of not having a chance for the championship in the league. The starting eleven of Beşiktaş is built by great players according to Turkey standards. I wasn't expecting them to lose this many points in the league. As Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray would care about the league more I think the last champion Beşiktaş are the biggest favourite of the Turkish Cup this year too.

One interesting (and probably good) thing about the Turkish Cup compared to the Super League is that it’s more open to surprises. If you look at the winners from recent years, you’ll see that it’s more likely for different teams to win compared to league championships. I think this is what makes the Turkish Cup important.

As for the main question, it’s really hard to make a prediction and be correct, but since I’m a Galatasaray fan, I’ll say Galatasaray. Grin
Because so far some teams are more focused on the League and the Turkish Cup as an opportunity for some team to win the title, but still playing against the top team from the Turkish Super League is also not an easy matter for the lower team, even surprises like the ones you mentioned do not happen that often.
I agree that Galatasaray could be the team that will win the title, they are at the top in terms of the quality of their playing performance and of course some team below them will have much harder time beating Galatasaray until they actually reach the final, plus the performance of Besiktas who previously won is also now seems to be decreasing.

Beşiktaş are really successful in Turkish Cup history. While Galatasaray have the most number of titles (18) Beşiktaş are following them with 11 titles. This season things are going on really problematic for Beşiktaş in the Turkish league as well. This is why I think they will take Turkish Cup very serious. Because it looks like the Turkish league will be really difficult for them this season after big problems have broken out in the team.

Turkish Cup excitement continues in the 4th round. Super League teams started to participate in the cup from this round. This year the format has changed. We will see a format similar to the new format of the Champions League. There will be 24 teams in the group stage and they will play three matches each. 8 teams will emerge from 4 groups and the tournament will continue with quarter finals.
I hope the new format won't be too bad, but I always prefer the single-game elimination system in these kinds of cups. There is no point in changing the cup format to a league, when the league is already being played.

The last champion: Beşiktaş

Who do you think will be the champion? Don't forget to vote.
