Bestikas v Fernabache seems a tough game. a big game too. Fernabache won all 4 encounters in the past year. Bestikas look like they could do with the points though. Nice and tight between the top 4 though. Makes it interesting.

Konyaspor Kombassan have been letting the goals in havent they? Sivasspor are even money with Interwetten. odds on elsewhere. They keeping their title challenge going this weekend?

[El NihiL]

Yep seems a derby on the list this week kompressaur; Many prewiews you'll read on the net about it...Just pick one and bet; I'll be on Fenerbahçe cos' I like the odds. Not easy task to beat Beşiktaş at home but their defence is not reliable and even tough Cisse is expected to play; I think they have to do their best to stop Fenerbahçe's weapons up front..Devid's missing might affect Fenerbahçe's offence power (actually a forward but playing as the offensive right winger and playing good) but they tend to put more effort in big matches...And this is on of them which will bring them more glory; Do they need?...
Anyway odds are enough to take them..

About Konyaspor Kombassan the coach resigned and a new one appointed...So a match must be avoided to oppose them I guess

About Kasimpasa SK Istanbul - Sivasspor..Yep Kasımpaşa already relegated maybe; but they try hard and play by heart. Their latest performance -after ugur Tütüneker took charge- was better than expected, and against Fenerbahçe last week they defended hard at the first half, but couldn't keep the 0-0 in the second half when Fenerbahçe realized that it is not a time to lose points against a team standing at the bottom of the table before a derby...Another note about the match that they'll play the match in their real home stadium 2nd time -I suppose- ..THey had to play in "Olimpiyad Stadyum" (which is far from the city and hard to go for the fans) before due to some reasons..Sivas keeps on staying at the top but their away record has never been good enough to back them at these odds..

There is another match to be discussed here..Denizlispor showed not a bad performance against Galatasaray last time leading 1-0 and lost at the last minute goal..But news are not brilliant for backers...The players hasn't joined some trainings due to payment problems and club president resigned tonight according to early news...So odds like 3.00 or higher for Gençlerbirliği to win will not last long..

I was in Denizli 2 days ago to join my friends for an universty tour and visited there.Interestingly everybody r talking about Denizlispor's current position and demoralization after losing their board of staff in midweek.Somethings really funny actually coz this team need big potential of support but interestingly everybody r escaping.Maybe they r clever than me and they know whatz gonna happen at the end of season.Players didnt train in midweek and i dunno how they could keep their motivation and strength till end of da match.There are some rumours that coach of Denizlispor Guvenc Kurtar shall quit off his job.Ofcourse all these problems are being visible when money management and money influence in team fails day by day.thatz the mainly what is happening in Denizli.But all you know that As you make your bed, you lie on it.BTW Denizli will be without Kratochvil and Bulent Ertugrul.And after returning to Manisa i heard of that everybody scare about a potential win of Genclerbirligi's at this thought ( only on paper actually ) away.They r challenging with Gencler to avoid themselves from relegation zone and such news r effecting 'em so much.All in all Gencler r possible winner here.I dont think they will miss such an opportunity.Gencler DNB is @1.99 in betsson actually and i dont think it will stay like that so much.

I'm not sure about to back on neither Sivas nor Kayseri this weekendthere is no chance for Kayseri to catch the lead of table . Kasimpasa r playing very good nowadays and they have enough capability to surprise Sivas at home and all we know that how Sivas r having hard times when they r away from home.

Ankaragucu-Bursaspor smells like a possible draw.Indeed shared points will make both side happy here.@Ankaragucu side Kirita and Burak have minor injury problems but both are about to play this weekend.

After conceeding goals as much as i have never seen;finally Konya decide to hire their coach and dealed with Rasit Cetiner.All we Altay fans know him very welli hope he will inoculate his style to Konya.Konya could be possible winner of this round but i wont back 'em still though.

BJK-Fener derby is open for anything.Ofc Fenerbahce r favourite here but next midweek there will be another big rival for 'em.But Bjk without Bobo.So what to bet?

[kompressaur]

Thanks for the info fellas. I note Gençlerbirliği are 3.2 with Corals and being backed in as you say El Nihil. Bet365 go 2.55 and im limited to them at the mo. I cant take a price a lot shorter than it is elsewhere. Have to miss that one out.

I always like a nice priced away El Nihil so maybe i could find a space for Fernabache as bet365 go 2.7 which aint bad. Nah i'll leave it i think. It a 'bad week' Altay you think?

Ankaraspor – Trabzonspor (over)fficeffice" />

Ankaraspor recorded first win after 5 weeks with a fine attacking display and this was the first win of new coach Saffet Susic who has been appointed 3 weeks ago. Underachieved Trabzonspor won against Kayseri last week but they have no target for the rest of season. I don’t it will cause a lack of motivation because they usually play better without pressure. This win was also important after team’s biggest star Gokdeniz being selled to Russia. Trabzonspor will miss influential winger Yattara and regular center back Cagdas due to suspensions. Both two team’ coaches are famous with attacking mentalities, so over 2.5 goals will be the first choice.

Kasimpasa – Sivasspor (away win)

1 month ago many thought Kasimpasa were almost relegated. After some nice results now survival hopes are not unrealistic. But this season’s surprise package Sivasspor are determined for title or at least for Champions League place. Kasimpasa had played all previous home matches at 80.000 seated Olympic Stadium with an average of 1.000 supporters. But now with the last match they started to play at own stadium. This will be an advantage for home side but Sivasspor regained the form and favourites for 3 points

Kayserispor – Buyuksehir Bld.Spor (no bet)

Kayserispor is the only team that didn’t lose at home and Buyuksehir Bld.Spor is the only team without a single away win. But it is hard to find value at home win odds. As declared before Turkish Cup is the main target for them and they almost qualified to final after 3-0 away win at first leg. Kayserispor are 10 points ahead from 6th place and 10 points behind 4th place also have no target for the league. Buyuksehir Bld.Spor got a deserved win against Besiktas last week. There is no other team than Buyuksehir that didn’t lose to “3 bigs” But they always played different at those matches. So it is hard to estimate how will they perform without TV cameras.

Konyaspor – G.B Oftas (no bet)

Konyaspor recorded their 9th loss at last 10 matches. Despite talented young Serbian goalkeeper Damir Kahriman they conceded incredible 18 goals at last 5 matches. As expected coach Unal Karaman resigned this week. Oftas got 1st win at 2nd half after a 6 weeks winless run. But it was a lucky win as Oftas scored from only one real chance and gave out many clear goal chances. Konyaspor appointed Rasit Cetiner as new coach. He is known as a defensive minded coach, but it is hard to predict how he will find a solution for poor defense.

V.Manispor – C.Rizespor (home win)

Very important match for relegation battle. V.Manisaspor couldn’t win at last 7, while Rizespor had no wins at last 10 matches. Home side has been appointed with Levent Eris two weeks ago and team performance improved clearly. Actually the loss at last week was extremely unlucky. It was a one way traffic at most parts of the game. At the other side C.Rizespor were lucky to take a draw at home match against Ankaragucu. They couldn’t create anything and also conceded some chances. Important center back Kursat is injured at this match. Manisaspor are close to win.

Ankaragucu – Bursaspor (draw)

Both teams play decent football at last weeks. They are not totally safe but relatively far away from relegation spots. This match is also interesting with the relationship between fans. Both Bursaspor and Ankaragucu fans count themselves as “brothers” So they want the match to be finished in “draw”. At previous matches it has been seen that fans protested against own players if one makes a hard faul. Of course footballers are professionals and they will play to win. But besides these relations due to current situation draw won’t make any sides unhappy, so it is worth to try.

Denizlispor – Genclerbirligi (home win)

Denizlispor lost to Galatasaray with a dramatic goal at last minute after goalkeeper Souleymanou’s big gaffe. But they are performing well enough at last weeks. Unluckily Denizlispor had 2 new injury worries ahead of weekend. Kratochvil and Bulent has been ruled out. Especially Kratochvil’s absence may be important at defence. After an important win against Galatasaray at Turkish Cup semi-final Genclerbirligi lost to Ankaraspor with a poor performance. Players looked unmotivated and they had only 1 shot on goal for the whole match. Motivation is the key factor in Turkish league. Denizlispor is safe, Genclerbirligi’s priority is cup but I still rate home side as favourites.

Galatasaray – Gaziantespor (home win)

This match will be played without supporters. Galatasaray won with a lucky goal at the first match after new president Adnan Polat has been elected. But honestly to say they created enough chances. Also coach Feldkamp will be back after he missed last 3 games due to illness. Gaziantespor won after 7 weeks an dnow 6 points above from relgation zone. But they are far from convincing and Galatasaray will want to take benefit of rivals’ derby.

Besiktas – Fenerbahce (no bet)

Most important match of the week. Two rivals will face at a crucial 6 pointer derby. Besiktas was leader before last week but fell to 3rd place after a disappointing loss. Midfielder Ricardinho has been left out of squad after criticising the coach. Brazilian striker Bobo is suspended. He is an important player but Besiktas have 2 in-form strikers so he won’t be missed. But goalkeeper Rustu’s injury is critical. He is rated doubtful and %50 chance to play. Fenerbahce will miss attacking midfielder Deivid who is among the best players of the season. Legendary left back Roberto Carlos is out for 5 weeks, he has some chances to return but may not be risked. Fenerbahce have a huge match ahead against Chelsea at midweek. Probably coach Zico may think to rest some players but it is almost impossible to put a weakened side at such a derby match. Any score is possible for this match, so it is very risk to bet.

Ankaraspor need points for relegation battle

[baysal2001]

Hi everybody, I know it's being to long without here but I was very busy... I have to bets this weekend..

1. Konyaspor.. konyawas one of the strong home team past years. They have very good squads. They changed thier Coach and new Coach is Hikmet Karaman.. He is very greedy coach like as Fatih Terim I think he will motivated his players and they wıll win.. Also Oftasspor is confortable at the table.. I think konya will win easily..

2. Denizli-Genclerbirligi.. Host players has a lot of problems with the president.. They didnt train during the week. and I guess they have lost their motivation.. other side Gencler is inthe relegation zone and they are playing really good soccer. but they need little bit luck.. İ think Gencler will take atleast one point. Gencler dnb.
