Turkish Super Lig Preview : Battle for Europe and Staying Alive !

After Fenerbahce claim the Turkish Super League tittle last weekend , the heat is on week 32!

In the week 32 matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday.

There are six matches on Saturday  and three on Monday....

Battle for second  place and  Europe ....

It is  getting hotter  and it could well go down to the wire....

Galatasaray and Besiktas are in  neck and neck race for the second place.....

Galatasaray with 56  and Besiktas with 55 points !

Bothe play at home but, opponents could spell  danger for both of them.....

Galatasaray will host Genclerbirligi  and Besiktas will face Kasimpasa  on Saturday !

Kasimpasa is looking to finish fourth place , so they could go to Europa League ...

Genclerbirligi with a win against Galatasaray could get  that chance too !

Since , Fenerbahce can not represent Turkey because of UEFA's ban , second place finisher will go directly to Champions League !

That is why , finishing second place is very important this season...

It is like almost being  Champions !

Heated Relegation Zone..... 

Also on Saturday , there are four matches will  decide  who will bite the dust in the Turkish Super Lig !

All these matches will take place at  same time and will be during the day time( 3.30 PM, Turkey time )

Besiktas and Galatasaray matches will start at  19.00 PM ,Turkey time ....


Karabuk will host Konya , Eskisehir vs Kayseri , Antalya will face Elazig and  Erciyes at home against Gaziantep !


It is pretty much over for Kayserispor.....

For Antalya , it is do or die weekend !

They have to  beat Elazig at home....

Antalya with 28 points and Elazig 31 !

This match is huge for both team.....

Same with Erciyesspor ......

They  are facing do or die match against Gaziantep !

If they beat Gaziantep at home they will even the points with Gaziantep....

36 points !

Huge .....Huge matches on Saturday in the Turkish Super League.....

Former Gaziantep coach Hikmet Karaman  now coaches Erciyes !

Ever Since he took over the team , the team is been winning most of the matches ...

On Sunday, Rize will be at home against Sivas, Bursa will face Trabzon and Turkish Super Lig Champions Fenerbahce will travel to Manisa to play Akhisar .

Lastly,  as I  said before battle for second place  and fourth place could well go down to the wire !

We should find out after this weekend , who will be the the other two teams  say good bye ....

Enjoy it .....
