First, over the weekend, there was a huge earthquake in Van,Turkey area, I am very sad to see people died in this earthquake .
It has been very tragic a couple of weeks for Turkey and Turkish people,,,
First it was Terrorists attacks by PKK terrorists organization now, earthquake....
Turkey and Turkish people will overcome this pain , I believe in that....
***********************************************************************
Now back to Turkish Super League........
7th week ended on Monday and week 8 will start on Wednesday and end on Thursday , and week 9th matches will played on Saturday Sunday and Monday.....
Get ready for a lot of matches in the next seven days!
Everything I said in my last article, happened in the week 7!
Except,leage leader, Fenerbahce....
The most disappointed score came form Fenerbahce when they lost two pints to last place team Samsunspor at home in front of their own fans!
Out of all the Istanbul teams Besiktas was the only team who earned win and three points...
Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Istanbul Buyuksehir all lost points....
Galatasaray had a chance to even the points with Fenerbahce on Friday, but they were no show in Antalya! they were lucky to earn a point there...
When we looked back to week 7, we see Orduspor as most impressive team, and surprising team in the league this season...
As I predicted, they had no problem beating Ankaragucu in Ankara...
also, as I predicted Gaziantep won their first match of the season and earned their first three points...
As I mentioned in my last article on this blog, Karabuk beat a strong Buyuksehir team at home.
And Kayserispor with scoring six goal against Sivasspor showed they are coming back to normal form in the league....
Manisaspor beating Eskisehirspor in Eskisehir with two goals was the biggest surprise in the seventh week!
At the end of the week 7, Fenerbahce still on top with 17 points,Galatasaray on second with 14 points, Orduspor who is on third with same points(14), Buyuksehir is on fourth 134 and Besiktas on fifth with same points(13)...
Trabzonspor on sixth place with 12 points and Manisaspor on seventh place with 11 points...
Trabzonspor earning point in Bursa was also huge ...
Burak Yilmaz's PK goal gave them one points on the other hand Bursaspor lost the three points with a very bad back pass by their young captain Serdar Aziz to keeper Scott Carson, cost the PK , after Carson tripped Burak Yilmaz in the box!
It was the ninth league goal for Burak Yılmaz with TRabzonspor uniform this young season....
At the end of the seventh week, Ankaragucu is the only team who has not won a match in the league yet! they have only one point....
VERY BUSY SCHEDULE.................
Like I said before, week 8 and week 9 will be played in next 7 days.......
Week 8, matches will start on Wendsday and end on Thursday...
There will be 5 matches on Wendsday and four matches on Thursday .....
Perhaps, "the match of the week 8" will be the derby match between Besiktas and Fenerbahce..
On Thursday night in Istanbul Besiktas will host Fenerbahce ...
On Wendsday Galatasaray will play against Gaziantep at home . a win could put them in first place over Fenerbahce if they score two or more goals against Gazinatep, before Fenerbahce plays Besiktas on Thursday!
Also on Wendsday third place Orduspor could even the points with Fenerbahce if they beat Bursaspor in Ordu, Turkey...
So, before the week 9th starts on Saturday we could see a new league leader at the end of Thursday night!
Like I said, the biggest match of the week 8 , will be Besiktas vs Fnerbhace match...
I win for Besiktas will put them in top three , a win for Fenerbahce will stillthem on top of the league...
Looking at last two matches for Fenerbahce, they are in scoring drought!
And they are not playing well......
On the other hand, Besiktas is just like Fenerbahce too!
The only difference is they won their last match....
A strong Besiktas should have no problem beating Fenerbahce but, Fenerbahce will be more aggressive in this match after losing points at home against Sansunspor,,,,,
