Changes in the new year. A change should bring the “lions” back on track. Numerous players are on the siding and Galatasaray is already trying to find adequate replacement. However, UEFA’s FFP will not make it easy for the traditional club from Istanbul to get the new entrants they want. In the Turkish Cup Fatih Terim has the chance to experiment a bit. The fact that the result can not be disregarded, Terim should have noticed at the latest after the narrow progress on Keciörengücü. It remains to be seen whether a tip will pay off against Galatasaray on Boluspor. The Turkish Cup is known for the top teams like to lose out. On Tuesday night, the match between Boluspor and Galatasaray at 16:50 clock in the Bolu Atatürk Stadium!
Boluspor:
Sait Karafirtinalar should not be satisfied with the current season. The coach of the second division Boluspor started sensationally into the new season and was for long stretches on the pole position, for the first leg caused the low form of Bolu but for a very bad starting position. Now Boluspor is in the pursuit role and fears for a playoff place for promotion to the highest Turkish league. However, there is a bit of a fresh Lig feeling in the New Year: Boluspor meets the Turkish champions Galatasaray in the round of 16 of the Turkish Cup. The performance at the end of the first half of the season has to be ignored for the time being and again full throttle in the new year.
Boluspor has been struggling with consistency since the last season. Bolu had missed the direct ascent after a mixed season and pulled in the playoffs also the short straw. In the new season, the old habits seem to continue. Karafirtinalar had already put his focus on the league competition during the season and stressed that in the Turkish Cup to pursue any major goals. Whether in Boluspor Vs. Galatasaray’s odds on a home side’s surprising home win paid, therefore, seems rather questionable.
None of the last six league games has won Boluspor recently. At the start of the season with nine unbeaten games started in series, the current circumstances are in no way to excuse. In the Turkish Cup, the new calendar year should start positively. In the dress rehearsal against Akhisarspor Boluspor managed a 4-2 test-game success. In front of their home crowd, Karafirtinalar’s team are always good for a goal, as is also the case with Boluspor. Galatasaray our forecast. Only two times remained Boluspor at home in the current season without own hits home. The team structure is stable, but it lacks a Goalgetter that makes the difference. Karafirtinalar will not complain of serious failures for the first competitive match of the new year. Can Boluspor prevail against Galatasaray in the first leg, lucrative quotas could be cut.
Galatasaray:
As a Turkish record champion, Galatasaray sets the goals high as usual. In the national competition, every title win is targeted – but that does not mean that the “lions” always prevail. At the beginning of the season, there was the first defeat, as was lost in the Turkish Super Cup against the underdog Akhisarspor. The mixed performances at the national level were ultimately reflected internationally, where the “lions” with much Ach and noise still made it into the Europa League – after Schützenhilfe of Schalke.
In the Süper Lig, Galatasaray are six points behind leaders Galatasaray at the end of the first half of the season. Since the intercontinental derby against Fenerbahce, Imperator Fatih Terim’s team has not been given the turn to build a sensible winning streak. Of course, there was a reason for this: many players got a ban, some top athletes were missing due to injury anyway and with coach Terim an important factor in the “lions” was missing the whole rest of the first round after the explosive derby. After a successful debut in the Turkish Cup Galatasaray wants to burn in the round of 16 against Boluspor nothing. The performance of Galatasaray’s B-Elf in the previous round was not very promising.
Fatih Terim stressed in a press conference that no player in the squad is unsalable and further departures in this transfer period are quite likely. So far, the “lions” have just separated from Garry Rodrigues, who has moved to Al Ittihad for almost nine million euros. Players like Calik, Belhanda, Camdal and several other players are already in talks with the new clubs. It is quite possible that the next departures will be announced in the coming days. Meanwhile, the followers of the “Lions” are waiting in vain for new entries. So far, only Marcao of Chaves and Tasdemir of Bursaspor has been committed. A striker Galatasaray will definitely have to get, because even Derdiyok should be on the siding. During the week, Fatih Terim has another chance to make some changes in the Turkish Cup. Whether his B-Elf will be successful again remains to be seen. In a meager defensive performance in the last cup match, it remains to be seen how the Turkish champions in the knockout round of the “Türkiye Kupasi” presented. Fatih Terim is still missing in the Cup first leg against Boluspor, as well as assistant coach Hasan Sas.
