Karagumruk isn't a tough target for Galatasaray truthfully. They made things really difficult for Fenerbahce recently though but I don't think they can play in the same way against Galatasaray. Because there is a big difference in terms of playing style. There is a serious level of player difference between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in the league as well. Galatasaray have many more game changers as you know. They might not even be in need of changing anything. They can just have the control of the match and finish off their opponent.
Galatasaray already defeated Karagumruk away and this time their victory can be even by a bigger goal gap. It wouldn't make me surprised after demolishing Alanyaspor and Kayserispor with solid scores.

While no team plays during the holiday, Ümraniyespor and Beşiktaş play on the second day of the holiday. Beşiktaş will easily win this match. Ümraniyespor is one of the weakest teams in the league. Relegation is almost certain for them.
Beşiktaş doesn't take pity on their weak opponent and will score at least 3 goals. Cenk Tosun is injured but Aboubakar will play as a forward. It could be Redmond and Ghezzal on the flanks again. If the midfielders play more effectively, Beşiktaş can make a quick start and make a difference.

The final weeks of the league are closing. There is fierce competition for the title between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Trabzonspor lost 4-1 to Sivasspor and has no match this week. Beşiktaş, which did not play last week (because of Hatayspor), will face Ümraniyespor this week. Galatasaray will face Karagümrük at home. Karagümrük took their last defeat against Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahce will face Istanbulspor at home.
Ankaragücü hosted Giresunspor in the first match of the day.Ankaragücü won the match 3-1 with 3 goals in the second half and scored 3 more points.Ankaragücü started the second half with 2 substitutions after lamine diack scored an own goal towards the end of the first half. Ankaragücü, who accelerated the match, equalized the situation after 9 minutes and brought it to 1-1.With 2 goals from Taylan Antalyalı and Ali Sowe, they won the match 3-1.I can easily say that ankaragücü played a dominant game throughout the match.Giresunspor did not even have a shot during the match.It seems that they will most likely be relegated.
Trabzonspor - Sivasspor match ended 4-1, Sivasspor was later included in the losing match and managed to make a difference. Trabzonspor lost a lot of points with the bad points it got in the last weeks and made things harder to go to the champions league next season. Markovic proved to be a good transfer. Trabzonspor took a lead with Markovic's goal at 11 minutes. It was a clean shot from a very narrow angle. Trabzonspor scored an early goal, but the control of the next match was under the control of Sivasspor.
What a stupid red card by Trabzonspor that later ended up in a goal but i think if they didnt receive that red card this would have had a different outcome. Trabzonspor this season dosent look like themselfs and that is really dissaapointing from them. Heavy loss.

Fenerbahce are a really interesting team now truthfully. Because they are still looking like they are creating a challenge for themselves first and then fight hard for a comeback to win the match.
After that we are watching the players celebrating it like crazy. They are normally strong enough to win these matches easier against these opponents. But for example they made things very difficult for themselves against Basaksehir recently. After still seeing the score 1-0 I thought like that was it for them. But Joao Pedro took a big responsibility in the last minutes and scored 2 goals to carry his team to the victory. He suddenly became the hero for the team. The funny thing is that the last time he scored in the league before this match was on September 2022. He had only one goal in the whole season but he saved his team by doing a great work in this match.

Galatasaray won the match 1-4. Galatasaray has 7 games left. Galatasaray to close in on the league title step by step. Galatasaray will be champion if doesn't makes a big mistake. Both the attackers and the defenders of the team are still performing incredibly well. Icardi was injured and was not on the field for the second half of the match. I hope he doesn't have any serious injured.
Galatasaray still playing amazing football but i think it will still be close for them because Fenerbahce was able to clutch a win in the end against Basaksehir somehow. This is now 6 points advantage for Galatasaray but still rough matches ahead of themFenerbahce won the match 1-2 at yesterday. As you said, Fenerbahçe is on the back of Galatasaray. But there are few games left. I still think that Galatasaray has more chances if they don't make a mistake. However as Fatih Terim said, "it's the football that's the football, something happens, everything is something happens."

In the matches played today, Karagümrük and Galatasaray were the favorites and won the match by scoring 4 goals against their opponents. Tomorrow we can say that there are important matches. Başakşehir will host Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe is shown as a favorite when we look at the odds and actually needs to win this match for sure. The victory in this match is very important in order not to break away from the race. A difficult match awaits them and it won't be easy to win this match. Jorge Jesus will want to finish 2nd in the league at worst.
It doesn't matter at all if you are the 2nd in the Super League from now on. As Turkish teams got quite unsuccessful results in the European Cup matches in the previous years the 2nd team in the Super League can only get a ticket for the Conference League. The realistic target for Fenerbahçe should be the Turkish Cup. Fenerbahçe are going to play against Sivasspor away in the semi finals on April 29. This match is one of the most critical matches in the season for them.

Fenerbahce barely scarpped a win together by a last minute goal, but even with that in mind there are few games left and we do not look like we would give the leadership that easily. One game Fener could be looking for is the game they play with us (Galatasaray) and if they win that ,that's 3 points, so they will be looking at us losing at least one another game, and probably another draw if possible, and not lose any points meanwhile. I highly doubt that we would lose that many points, and I feel like we are going to win our game against them as well, looks like we are doing much better and settled nicely. It should be easy from this point on forward, doesn't seem any tough games left.
Fenerbahce won the match 1-2, with 2 goals in the last minute, as in the previous match, in the Başakşehir match. In Başakşehir, Ahmet Touba saw 2 yellow cards in 3 minutes and left his team with 10 players with a red card. Fenerbahce won despite the bad football they played, but it is not possible for them to become champions this way. He will play against Istanbulspor at home on Monday. This match will be more difficult because Istanbulspor is playing well and is struggling to stay in the league. Today, they drew 3-3 with Antalyaspor at home. The league is about to end and Fenerbahçe's Antalyaspor match will be very difficult.
Galatasaray had only one bump three games ago, but they are still playing against Fenerbahce and Besiktas. Those two games will be the final that they are looking forward to unless the other teams are dropping points until then. Icardi's statistics are quite ok now with 12 goals in 16 games. But the only one who is seriously standing out is Valencia with more than one goal per game on average. If he wasn't 33 years old already, he would probably leave Turkey at the end of the season.
With six points difference at the top, Galatasaray seem to be the winner of the Turkish super league this season. Six points may not be a lot but I don't think either of or both of Fenerbahce and Besiktas will win the next remaining nine games of the league season.
What I love about these three teams at the top is that they all have at least two prolific striker that can score goals in their team. Fenerbahce has Valencia who will most likely get over 30 goals this season. They also have Batshuyi.
Besiktas has both Aboubakar and Tosun who are also okay strikers while Gala has Icardi. Although Icardi struggled a bit at first, he is getting better. Mertens is the player that has not been able to score as he would like to.
That would significantly raise their chances if they survive these games as you call it, but at the same time the other teams also have to win their games. Now if Galatasaray loses one of those games, they can bring themselves into an uncomfortable situation, but that is only the case if the other teams use the opportunity. There are countless examples in other leagues where the leader of the table shows some signs of weakness, but then the teams behind also show some weakness. That's in Ligue 1 but also in La Liga or even in the Bundesliga. Only in the Premier League we now have a situation where Arsenal gave away a big lead. But Gala has stabilized their game recently after that loss in between.

Trabzon and Besiktas drew 0-0. Beşiktaş had a small chance for second place but Beşiktaş lost this chance. Neither side deserved to victory this match. Match was very unpleasant. Both teams must now prepare for next season. They can give their young players more chances to jersey. Both teams have very talented young players.
It is sad that Beşiktaş can't keep up with wins after beating Fenerbahçe. I thought they would be more motivated to close points difference and may hit second place at the end of this season. But I guess their squad quality can't survive the expectations. Muleka isn't very good player let's agree on that. Beşiktaş should find better players next season for sure. Galatasaray or Fenerbahçe, it doesn't matter who wins this season, they both built strong squads for future with talented players and gems.At the beginning of the season, I thought that Beşiktaş would become the champion. I think Beşiktaş's squads is not bad. I think even better than Fenerbahçe's squad. After beating Fenerbahce despite the referee, Beşiktaş was advantageous for the second place. I think they will be much better with one or two transfers next season.
This season is still continuing superbly for Galatasaray. It is full time and they got another huge win by 4-1.
The attackers of the team are still performing incredibly well and this is the most helpful thing for Galatasaray to close in on the league title day by day. Icardi is in a great shape these days and the attacking midfielders are also supporting the team with extra contributions. It would be unfair to overlook their defensive performance this season also. Because they are currently the least conceding team with only 20 goals until now. This is proving my point that they are the most deserving team for the league title this season.

In the Super League, Galatasaray got 3 points and 4 goals from the difficult Alanya away. In the match where Galatasaray took a 1-0 lead, Efecan Karaca could not prevent the penalty goal, and the match was 1-1 in the 17th minute. 3 minutes before the end of the first half, Icardi took the stage and gave Galatasaray a 1-2 lead. At the beginning of the second half, he scored with Mertens this time and made the score 1-3. In the 63rd minute, the final goal of the match came and Galatasaray defeated Alanyaspor 1-4 away and got one step closer to the championship.
Today the matches of Alanyaspor-Galatasaray a will be played.
Alanyaspor's starting XI against Galatasaray FC: Runarsson, Pereira, Fatih, Fer Rassoul, Lusamba, Cavaleiro, Efecan, Yusuf, Doumbia.
Galatasaray FC's starting XI against Alanyaspor: Muslera, Boey, Nelsson, Abdülkerim, Adekugbe, Oliveira, Torreira, Mertens, Rashica, Kerem, Icardi. Galatasaray SUBS: Okan, Dubois, Midtsjø, Yunus, Zaniolo, Gomis, Berkan, Kaan, Barış, Mata. Galatasaray's next match will be played on Sunday, April 23 with Karagümrükspor.

No doubt, that game between Besiktas and Fenerbahce basically sealed their win for the title as well, that would have been 3 points if Fenerbahce managed to get a win and it would have been still just one game difference, but now it's 2 games and very hard to cover at this point, plus Galatasaray keeps on getting easy wins and playing very well.What I love about these three teams at the top is that they all have at least two prolific striker that can score goals in their team.

As mentioned before there is a doom waiting for Galatasaray though, they have Icardi, the guy with the hattrick and an assist, and next season he is gone, it was just a loan spell there and if they can't get him then next season they will suck. They can't be this good with Gomis, so they will need to find another player there and I am pretty sure that nobody will be as good as him.
