Karagumruk 2 - 3 Galatasaray

It was a game in which Karagumruk tried hard and they were close to getting a draw when in the 83rd minute they managed to score the second goal and tied the game, but they were very unlucky when Galatasaray managed to score the third goal. It was a game in which if Galatasaray had lost points, something like drawing in that game, it still wouldn't change anything in the race for the title because Galatasaray would win the last two remaining games. In the next game Galatasaray will play against Fenerbahce, it will be the game that will decide the title

Looking at the h2h between these two teams we have the following scenario:

In the last game Galatasaray got the better of Fenerbahce, I imagine that in the next game Galatasaray could get a draw or victory, but a draw would also mean that Galatasaray would win the league. but in a scenario where Galatasaray lost in the next game, they could still win in the last game of the league, which will be a game against a weak opponent that I believe Galatasaray will win, by that I mean that the title is already guaranteed by Galatasaray

Galatasaray will start the match with the classic 11 and tactics. Zaha is on the bench. Ziyech will play today. Therefore Kerem Aktürkoğlu is also on the bench. Icardi will play in the striker. Ziyech, Mertens and Baris will play behind Icardi. It's a formation we are used to tonight. Galatasaray played their most comfortable matches this season with this tactical formation and players. I don't expect any surprises in this match. I think Galatasaray will win this match comfortably. I don't expect a surprise. I have no comment for the Fenerbahçe match. I think they lost their motivation.

Fenerbahçe will play at home against kayserispor.Fenerbahçe can't afford to lose any more points.Fenerbahçe needs to win this home game for sure.Kayserispor is not too close to the relegation zone at the moment, which increases the potential for Fenerbahçe to win this game. I expect Fenerbahçe to win this game to close the points gap with Galatasaray.Galatasaray will most probably be the champion but Fenerbahçe will want to take its chances until the last week as the points difference has increased to 6 after losing 4 points in Konya and Sivasspor.

I also don't understand why Fenerbahçe is this stubborn to keep the same chairman for a longer time period. Just look at the achievements Fenerbahçe have earned in his time. It isn't even plural, only 1 Turkish Cup that's all. Doesn't this mean something is really wrong with the management of the club?

Fenerbahçe is one of the biggest clubs in Turkey. It shouldn't be acceptable to have even 2 consecutive seasons without achievements. They haven't been able to win the TSL title for 10 years but Ali Koç is preparing for his 7th year. 

Three weeks before the end of the league, they started to play the matches at the same time. Things are complicated in the relegation zone, 3 out of 6 teams will be relegated. İstanbulspor is guaranteed to be relegated but the other 3 teams are uncertain. Most of the standings may change after this week's matches are played. For example, if Hatayspor beats Ankaragücü, this result will affect many teams. Gaziantep FK will have a difficult away game but they also have a chance to win. Pendikspor's chances are very small in my opinion. I think they will be relegated.

The 36th week of Trendyol Super League will start tomorrow. All matches will be played on the same day and at the same time. There is great chaos in the relegation line. Which three teams will not be able to get out of this chaos? Pendikspor, Hatayspor, Gaziantepspor, Konyaspor or Karagümrükspor? By the way, İstanbulspor was the first team that could not get out of this chaos.

The Turkish Super Lig have been a very interesting league since the start of the season and that's because the top two teams in the league have been very impressive with their performances but the truth is that one team have been superior than the other and that's Galatasaray. The reigning champions of Turkey have been the best team in the league and are very likely to retain the league title at the end of the season. With just three more games to play before the end of the current season, Galatasaray are six points better than their closest rivals Fenerbahce and are also much better with their goal difference. Galatasaray needs just four points from their remaining three games to be crowned Turkish champions again and if they can beat Fatih Karagümrük tomorrow, I think winning the league wouldn't be a big issue for them.

Super lig only has three more matches left to be able to determine who is entitled to the championship trophy this season, the two teams have currently competed tightly with a difference of 6 points so that galatasaray and fenerbache are required to no longer lose in the next 3 matches, but the chance can change drastically if later galatasaray can win over karagumruk while fenerbache losesnin week 36, then automatically the chances of fenerbache winning this season have been tightly closed,  But if the two teams (Galatasaray and Fenerbache) both win, it is certain that the championship will be determined in the match week 37, namely in the match between the two, but so far Galatasaray has a greater chance to win the Super League this season than Fenerbache.

Galatasaray and fenerbache are actually quite consistent this season and even both teams have a pretty good performance because so far both have only suffered 1 defeat, but unfortunately fenerbache has dropped points more often with many draws this season compared to galatasaray which is much less.

Ali Koç and Sadettin Saran were in talks about the Fenerbahçe presidency. After this meeting ended Sadettin Saran stated that he wouldn't be a candidate for this job. Ali Koç decided to maintain his job for at least another year.

The news related to the decision (in Turkish): https://twitter.com/yagosabuncuoglu/status/1789284236383367527

It is really interesting honestly. I thought we would finally see Fenerbahçe making a change with the people in charge. If it was Galatasaray and if they failed this much I believe there is no way that board would stay for long. Galatasaray acts much more sensitive about this topic. If there is no championship then it is time to say goodbye.  

Let's wait and see if anything will change for Fenerbahçe and if they will finally win a Super League title while Ali Koç is the president.

The Turkish Super Lig is one league that's been having a wide point margin between their title holder and the other teams but this season both top teams have actually been playing averagely and their end result is more or less thesame with a difference in just the goal margins. It's not so bad though but it'd mean that one team would have to put extra work to their game delivery if they want to secure the trophy.

 Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. Their elimination from the UEFA conference league tournament gave them more time to prepare and focus on the last laps of the Turkish League games for the season.

 In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their position on the league table would be determined by the outcome of the game of the other. The next  league game for both teams would undoubtedly end up as a victory for them because their opponents are a little bit opposite of them in all aspects. It's hard to watch these top teams perform and get a result that is utterly different but maybe after their next game, the final decider would be when they go up against themselves. There and then, the best thing would be determined or worst case, the points will be shared.

This week, Fenerbahçe will play against Kayserispor.
Galatasaray will play with Fatih Karagümrük.

Kayserispor and Fatih Karagümrük need to get points from these games to stay in the league.

It will be more difficult for Fatih Karagümrük to get points because they will play against a fit team like Galatasaray.
If Galatasaray wins this game, it is very likely that the championship will be confirmed.

We can say that hopes are over for Fenerbahçe, because as we saw in the Konyaspor game, the team is dispersed.

On paper, Zaha and Tete are important players and of course it is the coach's duty to give these players a chance. Despite this, Galatasaray still achieved great statistics. They had only 3 draws and 1 defeat. These are statistics that can happen with any squad. I think Galatasaray played in the best way. We can almost say that they are champions this season. Another unlucky season for Fenerbahçe.

If Galatasaray had gotten the results they wanted from the new signings they made at the start of the season, they could have finished this season as champions more comfortably. Okan Buruk worked hard to adapt the new signings to the team. But he failed to do so. When he started to field the same skeleton squad that won the championship last season, Galatasaray began to take championship steps. The harmony achieved with Mertens, Icardi and Kerem Aktürkoğlu could not be achieved with Tete, Zaha and others. Fenerbahçe were able to stay in the title race for a long time this season because Galatasaray couldn't create a coherent squad with their new signings. If Galatasaray had started the season with the same skeleton squad as last season, they could have won the title sooner this season.

There is still one match before Fenerbahce meets Galatasaray and the difference between the two for now is 6 points, which means it requires 2 Fenerbahce wins and 2 Galatasaray losses.
But I not sure all that will happen, Galatasaray will still maintain its position at the top of the standings and what will happen at the end of this season is to see Galatasaray become champions, Fenerbahce will only remain as runners-up.
This competition is almost the same as last season, but last season there were not many opportunities for Fenerbahce because the difference was much bigger, namely 8 points. Now whatever the result in the remaining matches, it still gives Galatasaray the ease of retaining the title.

Moreover, if in the next match Galatasaray manages to win against Fatih Karagumruk and Fenerbahce loses or draws against Kayserispor then it is clear that the title will not be able to change and Galatasaray will really get it.

Last season Fenerbahce were doing very well at the beginning of the season until the middle of the season, but strangely enough, when it was close to the end of the season they started performing poorly and missed a great opportunity to become champions and the coach left to go become coach of another team. This season the scenario was a little similar to last season, Fenerbahce had a great chance of becoming champions and wasted it again, I'm wondering if Fenerbahce really keeps playing to become champions or not. in yesterday's game for example, they were playing against a weak team that in the last 4 games had only 1 victory



a team that is fighting to move away from the relegation zone and yet Fenerbahce failed to win, failed to score 1 goal. and something very strange. Be that as it may, it is now too late for Fenerbahce, Galatasaray's next game will guarantee them a great chance of becoming champions, without a doubt Galatasaray will win the next game and when after the next game they will play against Fenerbahce , so they will play very comfortably because they will be 6 points ahead and will only need 1 draw in the game against fenerbahce for them to become champions, also if in the next game fenerbahce lose some point, then galatasaray will become champions . In my opinion, I would venture to say that Galatasaray will be champions

Konyaspor did everything against Fenerbahçe and managed to win 1 point from the game. Fenerbahçe should no longer find excuses. If you lose 4 points to Sivasspor and Konyaspor, you will also lose the championship. Fenerbahçe has no chance. Now, even if they win the match against Galatasaray, their chances for the championship are very, very small. It didn't happen this year either. It's a sad year for Fenerbahçe fans.

Fernabache have had another setback and I think this time the fans aren’t taking it likely with the players as they can perceive that the players aren’t motivated to get better results. There have been comparisms with Galatasaray team especially after they had a high win margin in their last match. Sometime ago, I feel the fans were already tired of the team’s board and needed new owners or board and I think with this consistently bad results, it’s high time there’s a change in at least the club’s presidency seat.

 The current president has presided and the club has had some bad results that aren’t worthy of attaching to the club’s name. At this point, I think the club’s hierarchy needs to be changed because they’re long overdue in getting at least the league trophy and I think the coach and the club’s president should be changed. Yes the president might think it’s just changing the coach that will solve this but sometimes the owners need to be changed too.

 ⁠I think if the president is changed and a fresh leader with a different and better style of leadership is installed then we can start to see a better team than what we’re seeing currently. So the fans should take this in mind as this could be one of the club’s path to major success in the next season.

Fenerbache threw all for the window with this last draw from yesterday, and if i was a fan or a owner of Fenerbache i can be so pissed off, because really if you read the names in the team, man..... they are very good players top level, and the season is a mess.

Starting from the UCL fiasco when they can win a easy acces to round of 16 in that last match against Copenaghe and this from the local tournament.

Draw they experienced really made things worse because Fenerbahce had to be willing to fail again in winning the title, for the previous two seasons Fenerbahce were only able to become runners-up and this season they will again settle as runners-up.
From the start, only Fenerbahce could be serious competitor for Galatasaray in winning the title, but Fenerbahce made several mistakes which were really detrimental because they had to lose points that could have been saved.
Now the Turkish Super League title is confirmed to belong to Galatasaray and means they will succeed in becoming defending champions, indeed they have not yet been decided as champions, but their current position is that Galatasaray has guarantee of getting it.
For the team that will be relegated itself, the key is actually in Hatayspor because even if Pendikspor gets points, if Hatayspor can still continue to win, Pendikspor position will not get better.
I don't think they will get all that and it will be difficult for Pendikspor to avoid the relegation zone.

Konyaspor - Fenerbahçe game ended in a draw last night. With this result, Fenerbahçe has no hope left in the championship race. If no big miracle happens, Galatasaray is the champion.
I don't think there will be a miracle for Fenerbahçe.
