In the last minutes of the first half, Fenerbahçe took the lead 3-0 with Miguel Crespo's great shot. After this minute, Fenerbahçe can increase the difference even more in the second half. If they complete 5 goals, they will gain great morale and increase their league average. Fenerbahce has built a very good squad this year -compared to the Turkish league-. Their opponents also have very good quality players. I don't know who will be the champion at the end of the league, but there may be a competitive league end.

Istanbul Basaksehir was in good form. I didn't think they would lose points against Faith Karagumrukh. But in the last few matches, Karagumrukh played a defensive strategy and managed to score points. They played the same strategy in today's match as well. But Basaksehir's players should have performed with caution. They didn't attack much. As a result, they have to lose points in this match. Istanbul Basaksehir is now third in the table after losing points in this match. If Basaksehir aims for the title, they need to improve their performance. If they perform like that, they won't even be in the top 3 of the points table.

Başakşehir vs Karagümrük 0-0
Başakşehir lost 2 points tonight.

Fenerbahçe will make good use of this opportunity and they will try to win the game tonight.
I will also try to bet on Fenerbahçe.

The first half of the Trabzonspor - Gaziantep FK match was completed 2-2 and the second half of the match is currently ongoing. Trabzonspor seem to have carried the tiredness of the European Cup match to the league. Like Trabzonspor, Başakşehir are not effective in the match against Karagümrükspor. They also carried the tiredness of the European cup match to the league.

I'm trying to watch both games. Trabzonspor can take a win. But Başakşehir are not very effective against Karagümrükspor. If Mesut Özil comes into the game in the second half, he can change things for Başakşehir. Emre Belözoğlu must do something urgently to win.

The first half of both the Başakşehir-karagümrük and the trabzon-gaziantep matches ended in a draw. The only difference was that there were 4 goals in the first half in the Trabzon match. Trabzon seems to be the more dominant side for now. It is hard to predict how the match result will be shaped.
As for the Başakşehir match, since it is naturally the home team, Başakşehir is playing with more pressure. But karagümrük also missed one or two positions. The match is going in the middle but at any moment Basaksehir can take the lead.

It really looks like this won't happen with Valerien Ismael. The man supposedly improved team fitness, but the team can't play the second half at all. Players literally can't do anything in the last half-hour period. In the games we are ahead, we always concede goals and the match goes into crisis. Losing points in this match is not acceptable.

You score 2 goals but you can't win the match. The goalkeeper concedes all the balls that come into the goal. Beşiktaş saw 15 positions in their goal and 10 of which were scored. There is a serious goalkeeper problem. This needs to be resolved. No more loss of points is tolerated.

If the coach can't find a solution to this, then it's time to look for a new coach.

Mert Günok would be a better choice for Besiktas surely. But Besiktas still aren't as lucky as Fenerbahce or Trabzonspor as they have very talented domestic goalkeepers like Altay and Uğurcan. They don't have a strong foreign goalkeeper like Muslera either. Mert Günok might be a temporary solution for Besiktas but I think they should look for a really credible goalkeeper in January transfer window. They focused on bringing attackers mostly in the previous transfer window and didn't care about the defense so much. Otherwise this season might be wasted by defensive problems when they have a potential for winning the league title.

My betting choices for two matches in the league today are:

Trabzonspor - Gaziantep: Trabzonspor win @1.62
Fenerbahce - Alanyaspor: Fenerbahce win @1.57

Trabzonspor boosted their morale by winning against Crvena zvezda in the Europa League. They are going to play a tough match today maybe but I think they will put an end to their losing streak in the league by this one. The final score might be 2-1 in my opinion. Fenerbahce should also be able to win against Alanyaspor. Because Alanyaspor haven't been in form these days. They hardly won a match after many weeks. Fenerbahce should be careful especially in their defense. Because it wasn't good against Rennes which caused them to concede 2 goals in 2 minutes. It would have been worse too. Both teams might score in this one too.

Beşiktaş has a serious goalkeeper problem. It seems that this problem will not be solved until Mert Günok starts playing again. Unfortunately, Beşiktaş's young goalkeepers are quite unsuccessful and concede goals by making very simple mistakes. When we look at the statistics, we can see this very easily, Istanbulspor also looked at this and therefore they shot from a distance in the match.
They said that Mert Günok can return to the field at the end of November, I hope they can end the goalkeeper problem in this way

Ersin was bad today, to be honest. Ersin played a big part in Beşiktaş's draw. Maybe it's because of the incident between them but I don't know. It's an important point loss for Beşiktaş for sure.
Adana Demirspor is probably one of the best teams in the league and they show it in every match. They play really good games and have quality players. They showed that today in the away match against Antalya.

I know that Galatasaray got lucky, but you need to be ready to get lucky as well, they could have been a much worse team (aka last year) and even with a first minute goal, they could have lost, Endri Cakici could have scored a lot more if he didn't hit the woodworks back to back, so all in all, GS is still dealing with some tactical stuff, like how to put Mertens on defensive midfield to make sure defense is not leaky, or Emin not losing balls when he shouldn't, these are important stuff, but offensively they are looking very good, maybe pass a bit more since most of the players are inclined too shoot a bit too much, but if they fix their defense, their offense can bring in the championship.

I bet on Besiktas and lost. my other bet on 2.5 goals won.
So there is no loss or profit

Ali Yaşar's goal was very good. Everyone is scoring great goals this week.
Yesterday Endri Çekici, today Ali Yaşar.

By the way, Beşiktaş's goalkeeper is very bad.

Was watching the match until 80th minute and was thinking Besiktas will win the match for sure and go on to the top of the table. But they dropped points against the team that will fight for the surivival in the league. This kind of mistakes cannot happen to top league club and that they drop points easily

with this result, Besiktas is in the 3rd position and Adana is taking the first place temporarily, as it is still the beginning of the league we will still see many changes of positions, but I really wonder if Besiktas could be champion this way, because for what I see they are a team that are fluctuating a lot in terms of performance, in the last 6 games they conceded a goal in all 6 games, and it is worth saying that they will not last long with this performance


Surprisingly adana is in first place, maybe if they continue like this they will be champions? Will adana be able to perform such a miracle? in soccer everything is possible, even a team that no one would have expected to be champions can surprise, anyway I've already made a profit with adana games, so far when I bet on them they don't disappoint me and I hope it stays that way for some time

Beşiktaş gave a football lesson today. Lesson name: Never underestimate your opponent. Beşiktaş was very bad as a team, but all the blame will be placed on the goalkeeper.
The team can get better. An urgent solution to the goalkeeper issue is needed. In the last 15 shots, 10 shots resulted in a goal. Başakşehir is currently my favorite in this league.

It was such a devastating ending for Besiktas. They would have really won this game normally. N'Koudou's goal was really weird because of a big mistake by Istanbulspor goalkeeper. Istanbulspor's equalizer was a really lucky one as the ball hit Ersin's back and found the net after hitting the goal post. Besiktas found the second goal by a really nice organization. However they couldn't prevent Ali Yasar's incredible free-kick goal in the last minutes. Besiktas found a very important chance with Tayfur right after that but the goalkeeper made up for his mistake by a great save and saved his team a point at the same time.

Besiktas lost five points in their last two league games which is really alarming. Istanbulspor must have been an easy target for them normally.

No. I no longer bet on Galatasaray matches. Because instead of acting rationally, I always act emotionally. The best solution for me is to not bet on Galatasaray matches at all.


İstanbulspor made a big surprise tonight. With this result, they managed to score points in their last three games. They started to catch a good series.

In Beşiktaş, Ersin Destanoğlu made an amateurish mistake in Istanbulspor's free kick. Since his transfer to Europe did not take place at the beginning of the season, he cannot give himself to Beşiktaş. His body is in the field, but his mind is elsewhere. Gedson Fernandes is also very ineffective, does not contribute to the team defense, has no effect on offense. Beşiktaş continued to play badly as a team this week. If they continue to play like this, they will continue to stay away from the championship race.

Istanbulspor   2-2   Besiktas

I thought Besiktas would go top of the points table with full points today against Istanbulspor. And Besiktas were favorites in this match. Because Istanbulspor's performance has been very poor this season. And they were bottom of the points table. Even then, Besiktas could not win today. The performance of Besiktas was weak. They drew the match 2-2. Istanbulspor's defense was weak but Besiktas' attack did not play well. Besiktas could have won if he played attacking. Besiktas players made only 8 shots in 90+7 minutes. Besiktas lost points in this match due to their mistakes.

Good start with N'Koudou's free kick goal but there are a lot of question marks on that position. Why did referee give indirect free kick? Why did N'Koudou shot directly to the goal and why did goalkeeper try to hold the ball? Very weird position and consequences, finally Beşiktaş found a goal. But their conceded goal was a big problem. Beşiktaş is the team that get least position in their goal but also have highest percentage to concede a goal. This goalkeeper problem should be fixed asap. Ersin didn't renew his contract and his mind is not on the field. We can see that, we know his potential. We should really see Mert Günok next week.
Masuaku created great position and Gedson made his first assist. Weghorst didn't even made that shot with his foot but still found the net. We witnessed a great organisational goal. Now Beşiktaş shouldn't let second goal for İstanbulspor. They need to score third and finish the job. This should've been way more easier at start.

Galatasaray showed a really impressive performance in offense and deserved the 2-1 win. Even though Icardi didn't score he was helpful for his team. Because he forced a Konyaspor defender to an own goal and their goalkeeper got a red card also after his fight with Icardi. Muslera had another great match also. He was even nearly saving that incredible shot by Endri Cekici too. After having a really poor season Galatasaray are very likely to stay in the rivalry to become champions this time.

It is halftime in the Istanbulspor - Besiktas match now. Besiktas are in the lead by 2-1 thanks to N'Koudou and Weghorst's goals. They are trying to make up for the unexpected Basaksehir loss of course and I see no reason for not to do this by this match. Istanbulspor are one of the weak teams of the league currently and they wouldn't resist Besiktas much. But this is a risky score so Besiktas had better keep a two-goal gap at least to be more comfortable.

Beşiktaş's starting 11: Ersin, Rosier, Tayyip, Saiss, Masuaku, Josef, Salih, Gedson, Muleka, Nkoudou, Weghorst

Beşiktaş lost to Basaksehir last week. They played well in that match, but the Başakşehir defense hardly gave Beşiktaş any position. Istanbulspor have shown a good image in the last few weeks, but Beşiktaş's squad quality is far above Istanbulspor. If Beşiktaş score the first goal early, I think they will win this match without any difficulty. Also, In Beşiktaş this week, important players such as Rachid Ghezzal and Dele Alli are absent from the squad due to injuries. Josef De Souza's red card penalty is over and he is returning to the team. I predict that the bad image in the team's midfield will end this week with his return.
