TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE WEEK 5 ,PREVIEW

Turkish "SPORTOTO" Super League will start the fifth week with a bang and will end the weekend on Monday with a bang too!

The second place Trabzonspor will open the weekend on Friday, at home against Manissaspor ,the team who is desperate for points, after they sacked their old coach and hired well know retread coach Hikmet Karaman.

But, a win will put Trabzonspor on on top of the Turkish Super League with 13 points until Monday night, when Bursaspor will face Gaziantep, in away match!



Perhaps, The biggest match of the 5th weekend, will take place in Kadikoy, between Fenerbahce and Besiktas..


Fenerbahce have been struggling in the Turkish league after disaster matches in Europe.


On the other hand, Besiktas, who is the only team that advanced to the Euro Group matches from Turkey, just came out of, very important match against CSK Sofia on Thursday, with a last minute struck!


Besiktas has the morale.....................

But, Fenerbahce will have the 12th man advantage in Kadikoy....

As far as the teams as a "Total Football Team," Besiktas looks better, on a paper..

Fenerbahce's former General Manager now coach Aykut Kocaman, is under fire ...

This will be very crucial match for him!

A win against Besiktas will only delay his departure....

A loss will cost him his job!

If Fenerbahce wins on Sunday they will be right behind Besiktas with 9 points..

A draw will be good for Besiktas....


On Saturday, There are four matches in the Turkish Super League...

Galatasaray will travel to Izmir, to play Bucaspor and third place team Kayserispor who is same points with Trabzonspor , will face Antalyaspor in Antalya.

Also on Saturday, Sivasspor will host Eskisehirspor and Ankaragucu will be home against Kasimpasa...

If we sum up the Saturday's preview, Galatasaray with a win could be right back in the race a loss of points will cost Galatasaray!

They need a big win in Izmir on Saturday.....

Kayserispor with a win, could capture the second place or first place depending on what will Trabzonspor do on Friday night...

Keep in mind, the other teams playing on Saturday are desperate for points this could be very "Upset Saturday" scores in the league.....

On Sunday, Karabuk will face Genclerbirligi at home and Istanbul BuyukSehir will host Konyaspor in a empty stadium with no fans!

As I mentioned before, Sunday's Derby match will take place between Fenerbahce and Besiktas too...


On Monday, Bursaspor will close the curtain in away match, against Gazinatepspor...

After horrible score and loss in the Champions League match Bursaspor will try to rebound....

But as many teams in the league Gazinatepspor is also desperate for points in the league too..

It will be very though match for Bursaspor on Monday night in Gaziantep...

If they win, they will still hold on to the lead with a perfect record in the Turkish SPOR TOTO Super League..

Could they do it?....

It will be very hard.....


Look for a lot of surprise scores in the league this weekend.
