Galatasaray missed many goals, Icardi missed the penalty but they played well.
Mertens and Kerem Demirbay's shots hit the post, luck was not on our side.

Today there is a game between Adana Demirspor and Beşiktaş, I think Beşiktaş will win.

Galatasaray did brilliantly well today I must say as they won the game but then I expected more from them, the winning margin was just too small I expected they would have taken advantage of the fact that instanbulspor weren't at their best and get a resounding victory over them  in this game but then a win still stands as a win regardless of how many goals.

Instanbulspor did get to have the best of it's team to play today due to certain factors which will take too long to discuss now but they they still showed some form of strength to Galatasaray making them not have a just easy game, they had to earn their win although they had most of the statistics to themselves but then istanbulspor did not relent in showing their ability.

Besiktas is most likely to win the game as they will see it as important the more because it's going to help them get some points to go up the table if only they could win the game.  Besiktas will be playing from away which may be a slight disadvantage to them but then it's most possible the game ends in a draw because of the importance attached to the game by both team.

Galatasaray won 1-0 against Istanbulspor today and took the lead with a game to spare.We can say that they played a good game and it is worth underlining that their opponent is not a very difficult opponent.Galatasaray won with Icardi's goal and extended their winning streak to 5 games.Tomorrow, Adana Demirspor and Beşiktaş will meet.This match is of great importance for both teams and I can say that it is a match that will actually affect the league.If Adana Demirspor wins here, Beşiktaş fans may be very angry.I think a draw will not be a sufficient result for both sides.

The matches that were postponed due to European Cup qualifiers will be played this week. However, as the transfer window wasn't over at the time, clubs were still transferring and according to the latest rosters, many players won't be able to play according to the regulations. Only the players who were in the clubs' squads at the time can play. That's why a lot of teams are missing few players. It will be an interesting period of postponed matches.
Today Galatasaray is playing, against İstanbulspor. Since İstanbulspor made their transfers late, half of their ideal 11 won't be able to play today due to this status. Galatasaray also have players who can't play, but they have more depth in their squad so they won't have a problem. I expect a comfortable Galatasaray win today.
The federation's decision was wrong, and this week we see again how wrong they were. It may affect standing.

The team is slowly adapting to each other. At the beginning of the season the players were really bad and then they started to adapt to each other.
I liked Davinson Sanchez a lot in the last game.

Hatayspor took the lead in the last minute with the goal of Fiasyo Dele-Bashiru and ended the match. It was a match with high tension. There was a fierce competition until the last moment. A team that was completely finished last season and disbanded, look at what they have become this year, they are in a good place in the rankings, a perfect comeback, Hatayspor's fight against Trabzonspor was a very admirable fight and they managed to get three points from this match. Volkan Demirel will keep the team around, the team gives confidence, and so does the coach.

That was comeback week just like La Liga. Beşiktaş and Hatayspor made great comebacks. Hatayspor turned from 0-2 to 3-2 though, that was more like Barca performance. Bjelica thought the job was done in 62nd minute and he subbed off Onuachu and Abdülkadir Ömür but right after substitutions they conceded first goal. They tried to control the game but Hatayspor found equalizer in 88th minute and while Trabzonspor was in shock of that goal they conceded another. It was a legendary night for Hatayspor. Interesting stats, Volkan Demirel never lost against Trabzonspor both in his player and manager career. I saw that news, very interesting and great stats.

For Beşiktaş comeback it wasn't that unexpected because Beşiktaş had the whole control of the game. You could tell they will score eventually. Kayserispor couldn't defend well, they had gaps and Beşiktaş players used these gaps. The first goal came from corner but second one was from that defensive gap. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made a run over defense and scored a hard-angle one-on-one. He finally played like he did in his Premier League days. We expect more goals and assist contributions from him.

Three big teams won their games this week. I expect championship race to go on between them. I don't think Trabzonspor or other teams have any chance this season.

Everyone was surprised by this result tonight, I don't think anyone expected it.
I thought a draw would be the best for Hatayspor but they won the match 3-2.
You have to congratulate Volkan Demirel.

Hatayspor continues in an incredible way.After the February 6 earthquake, there were changes in the team and if I remember correctly, they lost one player in the earthquake, but they did not give up working and recovered quickly.Hatayspor, who made a great start to the season, managed to defeat Trabzonspor 3-2 at home.They closed the first half 1-0 down, but the difference increased to 2 in the second half.Hatayspor, who scored 2 goals in the last minutes, managed to win the match 3-2.Hatayspor, who signed an important comeback for themselves, thus did not face defeat in 6 matches in the league.

The Istanbulspor game is too easy for Galatasaray. They just need to be careful and not underestimate their competitor that's all. The win should come easily. I will be expecting Icardi to score again because he is in great shape these days. Right after that I expect another win from them against Ankaragucu. These wins are important to boost their morale for the Champions League game ahead.

Because they are going to face Manchester United in Old Trafford which is one of the hardest games in the group. You must have all seen how Manchester United played against Bayern Munich on the 1st week. I'm really worried about our game against them because of that. 

I can say that there were interesting events in the Kasımpaşa-Adana Demirspor match yesterday.Adana Demirspor was defeated for them as a result of an early red card.I must say that they were down to 10 men early as a result of a direct red card after the goalkeeper interfered with the ball outside the penalty area while trying to compensate after a wrong pass. It is obvious that the course of the match changed because of the goalkeeper who received a red card in minute 19.Despite this, we can say that Adana Demirspor still held on well.Adana Demirspor, who started the second half with 9 men after Stambouli was red carded towards the end of the first half, fell behind 2-0 with the goal they conceded at the beginning of the second half and it was actually difficult to turn the match around from this minute.

Galatasaray are slowly finding a rhythm. I have no doubt that we will play better matches as the new transfers adapt to the team.

Would you look at the goal scored by Hakim Ziyech? https://twitter.com/GalatasaraySK/status/1706263698786943347

He scored a really masterful goal. After Zaha, Tete and Ndombele adapt to the team, I think no team in the league will be able to stop Galatasaray. Our biggest misfortune this season is that we didn't have a good preparation period. If we had a good preparation period, we could have made a good start in the Champions League and everything could be even better now.

There is only one match in the Super League today. Hatayspor will play Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor have had a very good performance in the last weeks. Last week they beat Beşiktaş with an overwhelming game superiority. They won the match 3-0 but they could have won with a different score. The game before Beşiktaş they played against Kasımpaşa and they beat Kasımpaşa 5-0. They seem to be at the beginning of a good winning streak. On the other hand, we can say that Hatayspor also have a good performance. They have not suffered a defeat this season. They collected 7 points in the 5 matches they played. Both teams are good but Trabzonspor will win this match in my opinion.

Tomorrow is the Istanbulspor-Galatasaray match. It will be a very easy match for Galatasaray.

Beşiktaş will play Adana Demirspor this week. They will probably win because Adana Demirspor are missing players.

Fenerbahçe will play Başakşehir on Thursday. Fenerbahçe will win this match.

Fenerbahçe is hard to take over with their current mentality and motivation. I think they really got quality ones. When I am watching Fenerbahçe all I feel is enjoyable wing play, sometimes tiki-taka, very quality striker Dzeko. I guess this is the strongest Fenerbahçe squad in later years. I think they will easily beat Başakşehir too (Başakşehir is strangely underperforming probably because of managing issues).

We won without much difficulty. We didn't play well in the first half, but we had a lot of scoring chances in the second half. Kayserispor's defense was weak, they couldn't keep the score even though they took the lead. Aboubakar finally scored his first goal in the league, more will follow. Chamberlain and Bailly played a good game, they are expected to continue this performance. Everyone tried to do their duty. Mert gave confidence in the goal again. We are very lucky to have him on the team. He's definitely the best goalkeeper in Türkiye. We got 3 points from a not very difficult match. I hope there will be more to come.

Fenerbahçe beat Alanyaspor and got their 5th win in their 5th league game. They dominated the game from the beginning to the end. I liked Fenerbahce's defense a lot and found it successful. Livaković's performance was good. His concentration in the game was very high. Djiku did good pass organization in defense. Becao showed an effective performance. I think they are the strongest candidate for the league title after Galatasaray this season.

Baillly is a very good defender, competent one too; so many times i wonder how successful he would be as a footballer if he wasn't injured all the time. If only he wasn't made of glass, he would have been a very top top defender. Happy to see him flourishing in Beşiktaş!

For the first time this season, Beşiktaş was able to play with a squad so close to its ideal line-up. I say this because Ghezzal, Aboubakar, Cenk and Ox-Chamberlain were able to play. Bailly was also very good. He is the kind of right stopper I want to see in Beşiktaş. For the first time since Pepe. With Talha, who I think will return healthy, Beşiktaş will have no problem in this place. I don't have the same opinion about omar colley no matter what. He should definitely be in the rotation but Beşiktaş should definitely be on the lookout for a playmaker left stopper for the first team. Ghezzal and Chamberlain should play in the first 11. Chamberlain is a player who can play vertically. He solves the midfield constipation. Ghezzal is a player who increases Beşiktaş's offensive power with his game intelligence and ability to direct the offense.

Things are going on very well for Fenerbahce in this game just as I expected. They are in control of the game and I expect this goal difference to get bigger also. When we consider their recent head-to-heads and Fenerbahce's being in great shape it was hard to think the opposite for this game in my opinion. 

Dzeko is still continuing to make contribution regularly as he has made an assist in this one this time. I really admire his effort as a Galatasaray fan.

When it comes to Galatasaray I'm contented with the result they got this week. However I want to see improvement in the Champions League.
