Galatasaray had to settle for a draw against a team in the relegation zone, Hatayspor.
The result was not good for Galatasaray who dominated the match and had many chances. They even fell behind first and were finally able to equalize thanks to Osimhen's goal from the penalty spot.
Galatasaray is still strong at the top of the standings, but today's result was not good.

While I agree that he hasn't done anything since leaving United, it is still important that Ole Gunnar was United manager, so if we look back on the managers Besiktas had recently, in the past 2 years, which has been about 8 managers if you include the interim ones, we could say that the most successful one so far has been Ole Gunnar, so I am pretty sure that he will probably do better than other managers.
Obviously their team isn't great, hence why all the managers end up getting bad results, not all of these 8 managers could be terrible, at some point you have to look back and say that the manager wasn't the problem and the squad is the problem, so it is going to take a while for him to build a better team, but I am pretty sure that if they can stick with him and not fire him quickly like they did with others, then we could see him do a fine job next season. This season it is all about limiting the damage and try to finish as high as possible, and next season will be more about rebuilding.

I was even beginning to think that Ole Gunner Solskjær was never going to return to coach another club again because it's already over two years since he was sacked by the management of Manchester United but when I saw the news this afternoon that he's been appointed as the new manager of Beşiktas, i was very happy to learn about it. OGS is one manager I admire his coaching style and would want to see succeed in the Turkish league. Beşiktas have struggled to catch up with the other top clubs in Turkey but I believe the arrival of Ole Gunner Solskjær will improve their performance
it might be difficult to catch up with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. but at least Solskjær must prove to be able to improve Beşiktas' standings. catching up to position 3 is still possible, hopefully everything goes smoothly.
This is Solskjær's manager career so far. He managed his old team Manchester United and it was the biggest job he took in his new career. He did a good work for a while but after a point things started to go much worse and they parted ways with him. He is still a young manager as he is 51. I mean he must be more familiar with modern football strategies. It doesn't guarantee anything but maybe he can do a good job at Beşiktaş unlike van Bronckhorst.
Hatayspor got 1-0 ahead against Galatasaray which must have made Fenerbahçe fans (including me
) happy. But I doubt their resistance because Galatasaray are very powerful in offense. 
Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who had a brilliant career as a footballer, has little success as a manager. He has little experience and hasn't managed a club team for a long time. He hasn't managed a team for 2 years after leaving his job at Manchester United. This may seem negative, but it's also an opportunity for him to show himself. To be honest, Adalı didn't have many options. A lot of managers didn't want to come because there will be another election at the end of the season. I think Ole Gunnar Solskjær's arrival can be turned into an advantage. It depends on what kind of team he wants to create. If Beşiktaş go back to their roots and play an attacking game, the material they have is good enough, if they get good results it will benefit both the club and the manager.

Hatayspor and Adana Demirspor are already on verge of relegation as their chances are almost near impossible due to their worst performance in this season now we are in middle of the season where things are surely giving some better view about next half of this season with which team is having chance of staying at the top and which is going to relegation.
For remaining two spots we are having few teams which can stay in limbo until end of this season as their consistency is not as they needed at the top Galatasaray is leading by 8 points which are enough for them to have another title Fenerbahçe fail to produce something magical under José Mourinho but if they are able to keep things on level we can expect them to have good chance of win.

I think there is no doubt that Adana Demirspor and Hatayspor will be relegated. If they stay in the league, it will be a big miracle. For the other two teams, I would say Bodrumspor is a high possibility. The last team is unpredictable. It won't be finalized until the last week.
The championship race seems to have broken early, which is not good for the image of the league. I don't think Bein, who owns the broadcasting rights, is very happy with this situation either. It should have been a more competitive league. When you look at the way the teams played, there is not as big a difference as in the standings. But the standings say the opposite.
Hatayspor will most probably relegate this season. They have got only 1 win in 18 games so far. These are really tough days for them. Galatasaray had a more difficult fixture against Başakşehir the last time but they won there too. I don't expect any surprise today either.
Solskjær spent most of his player career at Manchester United. He managed them later on as well. Things didn't went very good in general but he was doing a really good job in big games. He is said to be like a counter against Mourinho too.
But the most important point for Beşiktaş is to recover completely. For now I will keep my doubts to myself about him. But foreign managers don't become very successful in this league mostly. We will see about that with Solskjær.

Solskjaer to Besiktas surely another good development but here we also need, they bring few good players which able to produce good development in quality and consistency in early matches they were at the top but suddenly gone down which is surely miserable.
tonight, galatasaray will face hatayspor away.
it’s not a difficult prediction, but i’m confident galatasaray will win. those who follow the team know that hatayspor matches aren’t usually easy for galatasaray, as they tend to be quite challenging.
however, this time galatasaray is in great form, while hatayspor is struggling. if you look at recent trends, you might predict events like both teams scoring, galatasaray scoring first, or the match ending over 2.5 goals. these are common patterns in galatasaray’s games this season.
while these streaks will eventually come to an end, i don’t think tonight will be that night. galatasaray seems determined to keep their momentum going.

It will take a miracle for Hatayspor to win this match. Either Galatasaray will play very badly, get an early red card -which seems impossible- or be very unlucky. Hatayspor have goal weapons like Aboubakar and Boutobba. Galatasaray have Osimhen. Muslera will be in goal. Barış Alper Yılmaz and Yunus Akgün are Galatasaray's other offensive weapons. We can expect a match with both sides scoring goals and ending with over 2.5 goals.

Galatasaray will play Hatayspor tonight, it will be an easy match for Galatasaray.
Hatayspor is one of the worst teams in the league both in terms of finance and squad quality.
I don't know who Ole Gunnar Solskjær is. I hope he will be a useful coach for Beşiktaş.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær news is starting to arrive in a serious way. He might be the new manager of Beşiktaş. He last managed Manchester United, he hasn't been the manager for a while. I'm very skeptical about this name. I don't know how successful he will be, but it's really hard for any manager to be successful in this team. If the deal is done, it will be for 1.5 years. There are no expectations for this season but the planning for next season should be done well. Considering that the club will not be able to make many transfers, it's necessary to establish a system that will get maximum benefit from the players available.
Galatasaray is still the most consistent team in the Turkish League this season and are heading to win the for the 25th time in their illustrious history and which happens to be the most in the league. Having won 14 games and playing out 2 draws and zero loss this season, they are unbeaten and the most consistent team in the league. If they continue with this form, they might just repeat what Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga last season which was going unbeaten in 38 games. Gala might follow the same footstep if they maintain their high consistence level.
I've started to think like "Can we become the champions unbeaten?". Until now, we have done a really good work with 16 wins and 2 draws. Maybe we aren't the best at defending but for scoring we really are.
Even though we have big vulnerabilities in our defense area it still doesn't impede us from winning nearly all of our games in the Super League. But the situation is not the same for the Europa League because of the quality difference.
If we want success there at the same time then Okan Buruk should make his moves towards the defense also. We shouldn't only think about transfers for the offense area. I don't believe the saying "The best defense is a good offense.".
Is Galastataray not active in the transfer market this January? They need to fix their defence because it might affect them negatively mainly in the Europa League. There are indications that they want to sign Diego Carlos from Aston Villa. He has not played consistently under Unai Emery so he might want to move to Turkey. Okan Buruk has also shown interest in getting Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar from PSG. I expected to have seen a signing of about two key defenders because Galastataray's backside is not encouraging. Until now, we have done a really good work with 16 wins and 2 draws. Maybe we aren't the best at defending but for scoring we really are.Even though we have big vulnerabilities in our defense area it still doesn't impede us from winning nearly all of our games in the Super League.

if i know galatasaray well, we’ll lose to a completely ordinary mid-level team at the most unexpected moment and end our unbeaten streak.

it’s honestly such a strange habit of ours as a team. our chances of beating ajax might be higher than beating hatayspor. while i can’t point the exact reason, it feels a bit like complacency. in europe, in derbies, or in "serious" matches, we play with full focus and performance, but in games we can easily win, we get stuck and stressed.
i don’t foresee this streak ending anytime soon, and i don’t want it to either. we’re in such a great place right now. if we must end the streak, i’d rather it happen in europe, in an important match, "deservedly." that would make me happy.
An Away win for fenerbahce, I know even with this win Jose mourinho will be pissed with his side, especially the defensive department, since the very first minute they were never in control, it was a match they they allowed an end to end attack, of course fenerbahce should have scored more, they created a lot of chances, they scored from 2 corner kick and Dusan Tadic was quick to pounce on a mistake from the Konyaspor goalkeeper. All 3 points Is all that matters at this moment and they got it. Overall it was a good performance and they just need to keep this momentum going.
I’m still expecting some signings to be made, they really some good players, they need so much balance in this team, players who can keep the ball and score too. The window is still open so let see what will happen in a couple of weeks.

Although Fenerbahce has taken a win away from home, they seem to find the regularity especially defensively. Mourinho surely is aware that a side has to be pretty much sturdy if they wish to remain in the top flight. At the moment, they are positioned second and even if the gap with Galatasaray in terms of points is quite distant, it is imperative for Fenerbahce to keep up the chase. With the transfer window still open, they have the opportunity to bring in several players who can add balance to the team, especially players who can control the ball well and contribute goals.. If they manage to do that and improve the strength of their squad and maybe bring the gap between them and star-studded Galatasaray under control.
Fenerbahçe cannot win the championship with this game plan. It was a disgraceful game and a disgraceful fight. Fenerbahce definitely need to reinforce the defense and get rid of Çağlar and Djiku. Mourinho needs to stop talking about the referees and the structure after the Konyaspor game and take care of his health. Because he didn't look well in the match. I think Mourinho has realized that you can't play a triple system with these players in the defense. Not that you can't play a triple system, but you can't play a triple system with players like Çağlar and Djiku. There is no midfield duo with Szymanski and the season will not end with Tadic walking on the pitch.
What do you mean? And how was the game a disgraceful fight for Fenerbaçhe? In as much people would have loved for Fenerbaçhe to dispatch a relegation threatened team like Konyaspor when they meet recently in the round 19 of the Turkish Super League, but it wasn't an easy match for Fenerbaçhe as Konyaspor held strong but eventually subdued by the pressure of Fenerbaçhe. Mourinho and his men struggled to win the match, it shows that Fenerbaçhe are still miles away from actualizing their dream of winning the Turkish Super League title but am sure with a proven coach they have in Jose Mourinho am sure with the right and financial support from the board am sure he will surely look into the ongoing transfer market to be able to bring in some quality players that will be able to add more quality to the squad in the coming season we will definitely see Fenerbaçhe dominating the league again.

I didn’t see the game but going through the stats it shows that both teams were not far apart in performance level in the game. Good thing Fenerbahce clinical enough to convert three chances past the net and defended their lead the game would have ended in a draw. Talking about Mourinho we know it is his habit to complain about referees and officiating even in his time in the Premier League, he’d always criticize the refs and blame them for his team’s results meanwhile it is always difficult getting desired recruitments in the January window, he’d will have to manage through to get good reinforcements in the summer in my opinion.
