Sivasspor v Istanbulspor

Sivasspor slightly improved their form which was very bad at the start of the season. With the addition of transfers to the team, the starting 11 takes shape and the number of alternatives in the squad increased. Sivasspor drew in the Turkish Super Lig last week, did not lose to their strong rivals Slavia Prague in the UEFA Conference League and showed a positive display. The ideal centre-back duo was found in defence, the team became less vulnerable. Newcomer midfielder Dia Saba is close to scoring and great addition to the team’s offensive powerhouse. As a team that has not yet won a match, this match can be considered the re-start of a new season.

Istanbulspor did not play a league match last week, they were in a bye-week. Previously, they had surprisingly defeated Alanyaspor. Coach Osman Zeki Korkmaz has a team that defends well, but the quality of the squad is very poor. They may have a chance to compete against their opponents in trouble and vulnerability, but it is very difficult for them to be successful against opponents whose form is on the rise. They have only scored 1 goal so far; they have the league’s lowest xG value of 2.2.

Left-back Ugur Ciftci is suspended in Sivasspor, and there is no important missing in Istanbulspor. In these conditions, the visiting team will not have a chance, this match is a great opportunity for Sivasspor.

Kasimpasa v Galatasaray

Kasimpasa got great form after the coaching change. They looked very vulnerable and conceded 11 goals in the first three games, but they won the last two games with not concede a single goal. Especially 0-2 away win against Antalyaspor boost morale of the team. The ideal starting 11 has been largely formed and it looks like they have a squad which is strong defensively.

Galatasaray recently had great signings. PSG’s star striker Mauro Icardi, veteran midfielder Juan Mata and Kosovan international winger Milot Rashica joined the team and improved the team’s offensive quality. On the other hand, Turkish defender Abdülkerim Bardakci was suspended and in his absence, the team was in a difficult situation against the necessity of having three Turkish players on the field. Probably youngster Emin Bayram will play at the back four.

Left winger Kerem Akturkoglu is out of shape, but his chance of being a substitute is low for the same reason. Therefore, it will be a difficult squad selection with the pressure to play the newcomers and it would not be wrong to say that the focus of the club is not on this match. As a matter of fact, they made a comeback in the last game against Gaziantep where they fell behind in the score, but things are much more complicated in an away game.

Galatasaray is in an unstable situation and Kasimpasa had previously defeated Galatasaray at home many times. This match is also a good opportunity for Kasımpasa.

Besiktas v Basaksehir

Besiktas is the team with the highest xG value in the league with 8.3. They are also the league’s second top goal scorer team and they are on top of the league standings. They play very high-pressure and fast-paced games at home. They’re very good physically, play pressing high up the pitch, and they attack constantly with regained possession. Striker Wout Weghorst is the star of the team with both assists and goals. Also, a few new signings have joined the team in the last days of the transfer window and there are more alternatives for coach Valerien Ismael against injuries and absences.

Basaksehir has yet to concede a single goal in the four league matches they played. In the UEFA Conference League, they beat Scotland’s Hearts 0-4 away on Thursday. They are a very strong team in superb form, especially defensively. They have many players on offense and each of them is of similar quality. Therefore, when they make rotations on the squad, the quality of the team does not decrease, and they continue successfully both in the league and European matches. Coach Emre Belozoglu is a conscious leader and has the habit of winning, he will prepare a plan against the league leader Besiktas.

Besiktas’ key man midfielder Josef de Souza returned from injury, but he is suspended. Both teams are in form and will be on the field to win this game. Despite Besiktas’ offensive quality, it must be said that they are a bit vulnerable in the back four because they conceded 7 goals in 5 matches.

Adana Demirspor v Trabzonspor

Adana Demirspor has won all the matches it has played at home and has not conceded a goal yet. It is difficult to challenge them in front of fully filled stands, and it is known that the city of Adana is still very hot which negatively affects the away teams. Striker Artem Dzyuba is improving day by day, and veteran centre-back Yaroslav Rakitskyi, who has been suspended in the last two games, returns to the team with this match. Therefore, in his absence, the quality of defense, which has decreased, will reach its ideal level again.

Trabzonspor is in a difficult situation. While they were expected to be successful in Europe as defending champions, they started the UEFA Europa League very badly after being eliminated in the UEFA Champions League. They lost 3-2 to Hungarian team Ferencvaros; moreover, his opponents received a red card in the first half of the match. In the Super Lig, the quality of the gameplay is not at a satisfactory level, they could only score 6 goals with 5.2 xG value. In addition, Dorukhan Tokoz, one of the important players of the team, was injured last week and will not be able to play for a long time.

The pressure is on Trabzonspor coach Abdullah Avci. While they are expected to raise their target after the championship, they are very unsuccessful in Europe. The mood in the team is quite low and they are going to one of the most difficult away games of the league. For Adana Demirspor, it is difficult to find a more vulnerable big team like Trabzonspor.
