does anybody have news from turkey? galatasaray looks good against kaysery, trabzon should also win ha???

[Luca]

I wouldn't bet on Trabzonspor as they are without a win through 2 offical games. They were beaten at the hands of Kayserispor by 1-0 and they drew against Apoel Nicosia in Cyprus with a 1-1 scoreline. Their best striker Fatih Tekke left for Zenit and the new transfer Marcelinho hasn't adopted to the team yet. On the otherhand the visitors had beaten Istanbul giants Besiktas (1-0) at the opening round of TSL, they have a good morale.

Galatasaray have won the CL qualifer 5-2 against a weak Check side, after they had held by the homeside Ankaraspor 1-1 at the opening round. Kayserispor won against Trabzonspor at first round of TSL by 1-0 and they also had a victory against Tiran at UEFA Qualifying Round in Albania. Gala to win with their home advantage.

Good Luck.!

Good luck too Luca, I welcome both you and mczile to The Daily Punt, thanks for the advice.

[Luca]

thanks slick. i would also like to remind that the match between mke ankaragucu and ankaraspor is a derby game. my residance is in bursa now, and i watched the bursaspor - ankaragucu game in the stadium of bursa. i can say that ankaragucu is the weakest team in tsl and ankaraspor who held title holders galatasaray last week, is likely to win this one. the odds around 3.05 are unbelievable.

[slick]

Great stuff Luca and i may have some of that allthough i'll have to settle for 2.9's @ Betfair. after doing a liitle reading up it does look a decent bet.

All games are "no bet" for me this weekend.The fixture is very difficult today.If had bet today I wouldn't have put my money on Galatasaray.Kayserispor is in top form these days and they haven't conceded a goal for five matches since Toledo(from R.Zaragoza) joined the team. Galatasaray is always favourite at Ali Sami Yen of course but not that price.

C.Rizespor - Sivasspor

C.Rizespor had a decent squad last season but some key players left the club at transfer window. Most of them were midfielders and this will weaken the attacking power of team. Biggest blow was the departure of only striker Okan and Rizespor could't make a replacement for a long time. Two days ago they bought Jelic from Maribor but according to news he won't be at starting eleven, so I think like before we will watch a defensive minded team again. Sivasspor had one of the best defenses in league last season. This was mostly because coach Lorant's tactics. He left now but new recruit Pecze looks like he is on the same way. I expect a closed match.

Pick: under 2.5 goals @ 1.80

Trabzonspor - V.Manisaspor

I never bet to under for V.Manisaspor matchex because of Ersun Yanal's crazy offensive tactics. Nearly %90 percent of his matches finished over last season (12 in a row for example) But first week I saw something different against Besiktas. V.Manisaspor scored the first goal at 30 th minute and then sat at back for the rest of the match without a single shot on the goal. Also Trabzonspor coach Lazaroni is trying to build a new defensive system and this is why I prefer under for this match.

Pick: under 2.5 goals @ 2.05
