Sivasspor v Trabzonspor

I am sure Sivasspor are disappointed this season as they were hoping to be at upper position in the table. They are focused on Turkey Cup today as this is their only way to qualify for European Cups. The bad form of the visitors gives them even more motivation and belief. They want to achieve something never happened and bring the trophy to the city. Our target is to record a victory without conceding any goal said goal keeper trainer Cengiz Birben.
This cup is the only thing that will satisfy both fans and Trabzonspor club this season. Important defender Bamba is the only absent in Trabzonspor side. There is no doubt that Trabzonspor suffered a lot in goal ways this season and so far it does not seem like they solved their problem. The recent matches of Trabzonspor are also an evidence of their mean forward line. Not only they can not score but they are also not playing good football to give any hope for the future. 6 of last 7 matches that they played in Turkey Super League were resulted goals under 2.5.
Considering this is a 2 legs round, I do not believe any team to take risk and fully attack. I guess a draw in first half is very possible.

Eskisehirspor v Fenerbahce

Eskisehirspor are a team who have good quality but do not play good football some several reasons. First of all there is a management crisis. The players can not be paid on time and receive their awards regularly. There will be an election in June and until that time God knows what will happen. Last weekend they played league match on away against Fenerbahce and I can say that the players did their very best to defeat Fenerbahce and they even created important chances. This time they are hosting Fenerbahce in the first leg of Turkey Cup semi final and they will for sure need a convincing victory in order to take advantage before the second match. There are interesting rumors like the team refused to join the camp as a reason of their delayed salaries. And I am not very sure how true this development was. One of the manager in the club declared that the players were let go their home by head coach Ersun Yanal.
Fenerbahce are in a match traffic again and in Turkish teams they played the most matches in 2012-2013. Therefore we witnessed head coach Aykut Kocaman went for rotation especially in Turkish Cup matches. Such important players like Gokhan, Ziegler, Yobo, Meireles, Salih, Sow and Kuyt did travel to Eskisehir. I have no doubt that Aykut Kocaman ignores this tournament and I guess he is right. Probable line up of Fenerbahce is mostly consist of substitute players: Goal keeper: Mert, Defense line:-Orhan, Bekir, Serdar, Hasan Ali, Midfield:- Mehmet Topuz, Selcuk, Krasic, Caner, Stoch, Forward:-Semih. Let me tell you that most Turkish teams at home should be considered as favorite against this squad.
Despite the rumors in Eskisehirspor I am sure that the players will do their very best to be successful in this tournament. They have home advantage and they are fully motivated to show themselves to the fans. The odds dropped a little but still valuable. Bet on Eskisehirspor.
