Turkish Super League 16th Week
SUNDAY


ISTANBUL B.B. – KAYSERISPOR
Stadium:
Ataturk Olimpiyat Stadium

News:
Istanbul B.B.:
Istanbul B.B. got 1 point from Galatasaray match and team morale is really good now. Istanbul B.B. had played against Galatasaray with many young players. They got young players from A2 team cause of injuries and those young players showed nice performance. The injured players can not be reached for Kayserispor match and Istanbul B.B. will play with young players again. Also Barbosa injured from his head in Galatasaray match and he lost his mind for 12 minutes but he will take place against Kayserispor. Istanbul B.B. got 2 draw, 1 winning at home venue against Kayserispor. And the last and the first winning of Istanbul B.B. was at last season since 2003.

Kayserispor:
They are the new leader of Turkish Super League table. Kayserispor is really happy after last weekend. Coach Tolunay Kafkas had a press statement and he told that they will continue under this performance and they will not loose their place on table. The confidence between the management and coach is exact. Kayserispor’s Portuguese forward player Makukula is showing great ability in Turkish Super League. He scored 12 goals in 12 matches. Kayserispor believes that they will take a good place in Turkish football. There are not any missing players in team and Cangele’s ban is over and he will take place for this match. Coach is pleasured about this also.

Missing Players:
Istanbul B.B.:
Injured: Taner(Forward, 33), Okan(Midfield/R, 36), Zeki(Centre Midfield, 21), Ibrahim Akin(Offensive Allrounder,25)

Kayserispor: -

Prediction:
Kayserispor is the leader and they don’t want to loose their position. Also Kayserispor will fight to not loose their place on table. Istanbul B.B. showed good strength against Galatasaray last weekend but I don’t believe that they will show the same in this match cause of young players. They were really ambitious last weekend but the tactics and players’ strength will be different. Kayserispor is a complete team and they don’t have any missing players. This is their advantage.1 and Over 2,5 is my choice.

GENCLERBIRLIGI – GAZIANTEPSPOR
Stadium:
Ankara 19 Mayis Stadium

News:
Genclerbirligi:
Genclerbirligi is at the top of fair-play in this season. Genclerbirligi has 2 important players who came from bench and they made 7 points for Genclerbirligi with their goals. They are Mustafa Pektemek and Bilal Cubukcu. For last weekend, coach told that they had a good defensive game-play but they couldn’t do something well in offence. But the team won the last weekend match 2-0 and their morale is very well. In statistics, Genclerbirligi won 7 matches and they had 2 draw and 1 loss against Gaziantepspor at home venue since 1999. Also Genclerbirligi won last 2 matches at home venue against Gaziantepspor. In this season, Genclerbirligi is only defeated by Manisaspor at home venue and they got 4 draw results. Also their %63 of the games had finished Under 2,5 in this season.

Gaziantepspor:
Coach is sorry about the draw result at last weekend. He said that they made a mistake only 1 time in match and they conceded a goal. There is a problem in team between coach and Mehmet Yozgatli. Mehmet only played for 60 minutes in this season and he scored 1 goal. Mehmet said that he want to leave from Gaziantepspor because he is not happy. He is always out of squad. Opposite Genclerbirligi, Gaziantepspor only had defeat against Manisaspor at away venue. They got 4 draw results at away venue as Genclerbirligi’s home. Also Gaziantepspor’s %57 of away venue matches had finished Under 2,5.

Missing Players:
Genclerbirligi: -

Gaziantepspor:
Injured: Umit Tutunci(Forward, 25), Zurita(Centre Midfield, 30)

Prediction:
Both teams need to have a good place on table. As we can see in their statistics, they are playing under control, Genclerbirligi at home venue and Gaziantepspor at away venue. This match will be the same and the teams will be played under control in my opininon. For this match;X and Under 2,5 is my choice.

DIYARBAKIRSPOR – KASIMPASA
Stadium:
Diyarbakir Ataturk Stadium

News:
Diyarbakirspor:
Diyarbakirspor’s target is 3 points but the crises are not finishing in there. They want to get a winning with their supporters but players announced that they will not take place for tomorrow training, if their money is not paid. Management will try to pay their money today but if they can not pay, the players will not have training on tomorrow to protest the club. Coach Ziya Dogan warned his players to be more ambitious in this match because this match is really important for low place teams and they will try to fight as in Besiktas match. Diyarbakirspor had face to Kasimpasa 2 times at home venue but they were in League A. Both games were finished draw (2-2 and 0-0) at 2007 and 2009. In this season, %71 of Diyarbakirspor’s home matches finished Over 2,5.

Kasimpasa:
Kasimpasaspor has an increasing performace with their coach; Yilmaz Vural. In this season, Kasimpasa had 1 defeat at away venue and it was against Fenerbahce. Kasimpasaspor didn’t loose last 6 games and they got 3 winnings in those 6 matches. %57 of away venue matches had finished Over 2,5.

Missing Players:
Diyarbakirspor:
Banned: Tazemeta(Forward, 27)

Kasimpasa:
Banned: Yekta(Midfield/L, 23)

Prediction:
The teams couldn’t have dominance over each other before. This match is really important for both team but Tazemeta is banned in Diyarbakirspor and he is their 1 of key players. For this match;X and Under 2,5 is my choice.

SIVASSPOR – ESKISEHIRSPOR
Stadium:
Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium

News:
Sivasspor:
Sivasspor is in critical position. They had followed the championship in last 2 seasons but they are really different from those 2 seasons. Their performance is a little changed with new technical director but it’s the similar as before. Sivasspor’s situation is really bad and this is the worst season of them in Super League. The teams were opponents only 2 times before and it was in 2008/2009 season. Sivasspor won single home venue match. In this season, Sivasspor couldn’t have defeat for 4 weeks(except Ankaraspor match). Sivasspor had defeat 2 times and both of them were at home venue.

Eskisehirspor:
The team is really happy after Fenerbahce defeat. Especially scorer of 2 goals Adem Sari is dreaming to play in National Team. After Umit Karan, Mehmet Yilmaz and Serdar Ozbayraktar, Burak Yilmaz injured and he will not take place against Sivasspor. This is shock news because Burak’s performance was increasing. The other problem is Youla. Youla scored 3 goals and they were at 2nd and 4th week. After 4th week, Youla couldn’t score any goals till now. It’s about 100 days. Eskisehirspor had 1 win, 5 draw and 1 loss in this season. %57 of their away venue matches had finished Under 2,5.

Missing Players:
Sivasspor:
Injured: Mehmet Yildiz(Forward, 28)Banned: Sezer Badur(Centre Midfield, 25), Ibrahim Dagasan

Eskisehirspor:
Injured: Umit Karan(Forward, 33), Mehmet Yilmaz(Forward, 30), Serdar Ozbayraktar(Midfield/L, 28), Burak Yilmaz(Offensive Allrounder, 24)
Banned: El Saka(Centre Back, 35)

Prediction:
Sivasspor’s performance is not really good since beginning of the season. Mehmet Yildiz has injury and this affects team because he was the big brother of the team. Eskisehirspor has an increasing performance and they had defeated by Trabzonspor only at away venue. Other all games are finished draw (except Ankaraspor match). In this case;2 and Over 2,5 is my choice.

DENIZLISPOR – TRABZONSPOR
Stadium:
Denizli Ataturk Stadium

News:
Denizlispor:
Especially after Genclerbirligi match, coach Hakan Kutlu said that they were deserved side for winning. They are playing not bad but their problem is scoring goals and coach wants to see the result. Denizlispor couldn’t have defeat against opponents (except Ankaraspor match) and this makes them stressful. They are the worst team in last 10 seasons’ first 15 weeks. They have only 7 points at 15th week and this is the worst performance of Turkey Super League in last 10 seasons. 3 players were kicked out from squad before. 1 of them was Murat Hacioglu and management is thinking about to forgive him. Also they are working on some transfers and they are thinking about to transfer in 5 players at mid-season. Hakan Kutlu announced that he is in trust with his team and their target is to have defeat at last 2 weeks of first half.

Trabzonspor:
The team has a good morale after new technical director and winning. Also Trabzonspor has deal with Fatih Tekke who was playing in Zenit St Petersburg. On the other hand, CSKA Moscow and Zenit St Petersburg are interested on Selcuk Inan and Gokhan Unal from Trabzonspor. Gustavo Colman has an increasing performance. He is already scored 7 goals in first 15 weeks and this is equal to his last season goals. He is the most stable player in Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor’s brilliant player Selcuk Inan is a Zidane fan. He believes that Trabzonspor will take place in first 3 steps at the end of the season. Tayfun, Yattara, Zafer’s injuries are still continuing in team. Trabzonspor defeated by Denizlispor at away venue only 1 time since 2003. Since 2003, Trabzonspor had 5 winnings and 1 draw result with 1 loss at away venue. %86 of Trabzonspor’s away venue matches finished Over 2,5.

Missing Players:
Denizlispor: -

Trabzonspor:
Injured: Yattara(Offensive Midfield/R, 29), Zafer Yelen(Playmaker, 23), Tayfun Cora(Centre Back, 26)

Prediction:
Denizlispor’s performance is not really good since beginning of the season but After Hakan Kutlu, the team is playing better now. Also Trabzonspor is playing well with new coach Senol Gunes. This match will be Trabzonspor’s increasing match again, I think. Because Senol Gunes knows what this team needs.
2 and Over 2,5 is my choice.

MANISASPOR – BESIKTAS
Stadium:
Manisa 19 Mayis Stadium

News:
Manisaspor:
Manisaspor has deal with Gabriel Limeira. He was playing in Malmö and after Swedish season is over, he is in Manisa now to adapt his new team. He is also defensive player. Manisaspor management kicked Sezer Ozturk out from squad. After his transfer to Galatasaray didn’t come true, he has a terrible performance. After that he claimed coach cause of this performance but management didn’t show patience for him. Management can not forgive Sezer, because coach Mesut Bakkal said that if Sezer turns back, he will leave from Manisaspor. Manisaspor had 1 winning and 2 losses against Besiktas before at home venue in Super League. There were not any draw-resulted matches between Manisaspor and Besiktas. Manisaspor got 2 wins and 1 draw at first 3 weeks, then they couldn’t get any points at home venue till now.

Besiktas:
Besiktas closed the European page after yesterday match against CSKA Moscow. As we know, Besiktas’ 7 match series broken by Diyarbakirspor last weekend. But this match is important for Besiktas to continue in Championship.

Missing Players:
Manisaspor: -

Besiktas:
Injured: Delgado(Playmaker, 26)

Prediction:
Manisaspor is really bad at home venue. Besiktas should choose the target in Super League and this match is important for them. But as we saw, Manisaspor is playing very well and motivated against big teams and I think we will see the same again. Also Manisaspor is rested last weekend. Against tired Besiktas, Manisaspor will try to do something.X and Under 2,5 is my choice.
