Belgian Jupiler league 23/24 - discussion

[casperBGD]

remark: "i saw that there was one topic for Jupiler league, but it is more than two years without posts, so decided to make another one for this season"

it is not one of the top European leagues, but i started to follow it better, since all teams from Jupiler league are in sorare.com global fantasy soccer

last season title ended up in Brugge, with Club Brugge announced as champion due to 15 points difference when corona outbreak happened, and league did not resumed

season started during weekend, and seven matches are played, with two more to play today
league now has 18 clubs for next two seasons, due to Beveren complaint because the league was finished with 29 rounds, and then league accepted that Beveren should not be relegated, and beside Germinal Beerschot, Leuven is also promoted to Jupiler league, these two played play-off match for one spot, and Germinal took advantage, but in the end both teams are now part of Jupiler league, to have even number of teams

first round gave us a few surprises, biggest in Brugge, where Charleroi took all three points, but also in Kortrijk where Beveren won the match, and Antwerp, where Antwerp did not managed to win over Muscron, to confirm their good form after taking cup title last weekend over Brugge and fourth surprising result happened in St.Truiden, where Gent lost 2:1

on the other hand, Genk won in Waregem, with Dessers, maybe a biggest signing this year in Jupiler scored from penalty spot in a calm transfer season, where only Jonathan David from Gent, that will probably end up in Lille was a biggest news

first round results:
Club Brugge - Charleroi 0:1
Antwerp - Royal Mouscron 1:1
Standard Liege - Cercle Brugge 1:0
Sint Truiden - Gent 2:1
Zulte Waregem - Genk 1:2
Mechelen - Anderlecht 2:2
Kortrijk - Beveren 1:3

two more to play today:
Leuven - Eupen
Oostende - Beerschot

both matches between relegation candidates at the moment, and will skip them for betting at the moment

I think that this is not the first time in such league and other leagues alike like Switzerland Superleague that surprises happen in the first week.It just shows that the biggest teams of the league like Club Brugge do not take it that seriously the first round.I think they will recover as they have the best players in the league.

[babygun]

Nice to see a new topic about the Jupiler pro league  .
Indeed a surprising first round with AA Gent and Club Brugge loosing their matches. For Club, it was already the second setback as they lost the cup final against Antwerp.
But Club Brugge still has the best papers to win the competition as they didn't loose any good players. They could however use another striker.

[casperBGD]

two matches played yesterday, with future relegation contenders, but Beerschot already proved that they will probably have easier task than other three

Leuven - Eupen 1:1
Oostende - Beerschot 1:2

it was a bit of a new season start for Oostende new goalkeeper Guillaume Hubert, with goal conceived in first minute

https://www.besoccer.com/new/lille-to-pay-30-million-for-osimhen-s-replacement-871018

it is official, Gent striker Jonathan David signed for Lille, in a transfer worth 27 million

I don't follow Belgian league much, but I watch some games. It's quite interesting and unpredictable league because they don't have 1-2 teams which dominate all time. And it reminds me Eredivisie a bit, because there is lot of young talents playing there.
First round started with quite many surprising results. But in second round I don't see something interesting because mainly obvious favorites will play against underdogs.
By the way, I'm the only one who always confuse Genk and Gent ?
P.S. @casperBGD, can you give more details about Sorare.com? As I understand, this is fantasy where you pick players from multiple leagues? Sounds interesting, but a bit complicated.

yeah, it is confusing to have Genk and Gent in the same league

regarding sorare.com, it is a bit of off-topic, but do not know where to put it elsewhere, this is an interesting article reviewing the game
https://medium.com/@blockchainYNWA/sorare-beta-review-part-3-gameplay-5276a379c113

basically, when you sign-in for the game, you will get ten common players, that have no value, expect to play the game, and you can form teams in rookie competitions with them
next step is to buy player cards, that have three different levels:
- rare (100 cards of each player)
- super rare (10 cards of each player)
- unique - each player has one card

there are different competitions, where you assign your team of five players (goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward, and extra player that could be either defender, midfielder or forward) and those players receiving points based on their performance in real world matches

up to now, there is all Jupiler league, but also football giants Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Lazio, Betis, Valencia, Lyon in the game, and they are adding new leagues (up to now Jupiler, MLS, K1 korea) and teams every now and then

round 2 of Belgian Jupiler league, and my predictions for the round:
14.08.19:00  Mouscron - KV Mechelen X
this is a typical draw match, with a slightly better team as away team, but do not think that they will be able to pull through a win
15.08.16:30  Genk - Leuven 1
Genk has corona issues, with Bongonda in quarantine, but they are much stronger side than Leuven, so their win should not be questioned
15.08.19:00  Charleroi - Oostende x2
Charleroi could be a trap this weekend, they won last weekend in Brugge, but that was on one successful counter-attack note, and quote is low, so should be skipped
15.08. 19:00 Gent - Kortrijk 1
Gent sold David, but nevertheless has better squad than Kortrijk, so this should happen as home win
16.08. 13:30 Cercle Brugge KSV - Antwerp X
this is also a typical draw, Antwerp won a cup, but they did not managed to win first match in the league, and this does not seem as a win either
16.08. 16:00 Beerschot VA - Waregem 1
this is a good value quote for a home win, @2.35 it is a good pick, and Beerschot made a good start last week, they are in good form and believe that they will win first match at home, even without audience
16.08. 16:00 Eupen - Club Brugge KV X
this should come, but Eupen has a good goalkeeper, and i would skip betting on Brugge
16.08. 18:15 Anderlecht - St. Truiden 1
St. Truiden won first match at home, but this is to big for them, and i believe that Anderlecht will be back this season, after miserable last season, so this should be home win
17.08. 19:00 Waasland-Beveren - St. Liege 1x
Beveren stayed in the league after appeal and league increased number to 18, which is decreasing TV rights money for all other teams, but they had a good start in Kortrijk, and believe that they will not lost this one

I agree with most of your predictions but I do think that Standard and Antwerp will win their matches. Waasland Beveren and Cercle Brugge are the teams that will end in the lower regions and both Standard and Antwerp have much more quality in their teams, so should easily win.
I am also avoiding betting on Club Brugge, they are too unpredictable at this moment.

[LTU_btc]

@casperBGD, thanks for sharing analysis. I will make some bets based on it. But I'm not sure that I'm going to watch games this weekend, none of these doesn't loojs very attractive. Though, there is not so many options when biggest leagues haven't started their season yet.
About fantasy, well, usually I don't play such kind of games because it requires too much time if I want to play seriously, but I will look into it.

[DarkDays]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if a previous thread of this sports league had no discussion or activity for over two years, then it is unlikely that your thread would continue to remain active.

But I really hope I am wrong. Personally out of all the teams in this division, I have only heard about Beerschot in the past. I think that is a big reason why this league is not followed widely because it has no star clubs like ManU or ManC.

Let's see how they do against Waregem 1 on Sat.

[casperBGD]

2nd round results:
Anderlecht 3 - 1 St. Truiden (won)
Beerschot VA 3 - 1 Waregem (won)
Eupen 0 - 4 Club Brugge KV (lost - X foreseen)
Cercle Brugge KSV 2 - 1 Antwerp (lost - X foreseen)
Charleroi 1 - 0 Oostende (lost - x2 foreseen)
Gent 1 - 2 Kortrijk (lost - 1 foreseen)
Genk 1 - 1 Leuven (lost - 1 foreseen)
Mouscron 0 - 1 KV Mechelen (lost - X foreseen)

could not say that it was a good weekend for my prognosis, and most surprising for me was Gent and Genk results on Saturday, Gent without David will need time to put it all together obviously, Brugge scored early and then destroyed Eupen, and Beerschot proved that they are not going to be one season wonder in Jupiler

there is one more match today, between Beveren and Standard

[babygun]

Indeed, another surprising loss for AA Gent. This will most probably be the end for their coach Jesse Thorup...
Good to see the big win of Club Brugge, seems to be they are finally finding their rhythm.

[casperBGD]

and the last match yesterday was between Beveren and Standard, where Standard won 1:2, although i expected Beveren to held and not lose this one, stay tuned for round 3

[LTU_btc]

I see that player that I follow - Terem Moffi scored his 1st goal this season for Kortrijk. Mark my words - soon we will see this guy in much better team. There was rumours some tume ago that Rangers are interested in him.

But I really hope I am wrong. Personally out of all the teams in this division, I have only heard about Beerschot in the past. I think that is a big reason why this league is not followed widely because it has no star clubs like ManU or ManC.

Well, Beerschot isn't most famous club from Belgium. It's strange that you didn't hear clubs like Brugge, Genk or Anderlecht, they always play in Champion and Europa league.
Offcourse, it's not EPL or La Liga, but it's decent league, 8th in UEFA ranking, above Eredivisie or Turkish league

[casperBGD]

round 3 of Belgian Jupiler league:
21.08. 19:00 Kortrijk - Eupen X
22.08. 16:15 Waregem - Waasland-Beveren 1
22.08. 18:30 KV Mechelen - Cercle Brugge KSV 1
22.08. 18:30 Leuven - Charleroi 2
22.08. 20:45 Antwerp - Gent X
23.08. 13:30 St. Liege - Genk X
23.08. 16:00 Club Brugge KV - Beerschot VA x2
23.08. 18:15 Anderlecht - Mouscron 1
24.08. 20:45 St. Truiden - Oostende X

Kortrijk plays Eupen tonight and i expect a draw, with same expectation in Antwerp and Liege matches, Charleroi should do good with Leuven, since Leuven has a lot of injured players, will be interesting to see how Beerschot will do in Brugge, and IMO Mechelen and Anderlecht should solve their home matches easily

[swogerino]

round 3 of Belgian Jupiler league:
21.08. 19:00 Kortrijk - Eupen X
22.08. 16:15 Waregem - Waasland-Beveren 1
22.08. 18:30 KV Mechelen - Cercle Brugge KSV 1
22.08. 18:30 Leuven - Charleroi 2
22.08. 20:45 Antwerp - Gent X
23.08. 13:30 St. Liege - Genk X
23.08. 16:00 Club Brugge KV - Beerschot VA x2
23.08. 18:15 Anderlecht - Mouscron 1
24.08. 20:45 St. Truiden - Oostende X

Kortrijk plays Eupen tonight and i expect a draw, with same expectation in Antwerp and Liege matches, Charleroi should do good with Leuven, since Leuven has a lot of injured players, will be interesting to see how Beerschot will do in Brugge, and IMO Mechelen and Anderlecht should solve their home matches easily

I think quite a lot of results are considered unexpected and the main one that caught my eye is Club Brugge as if I understood correctly you are betting against them and the team that plays against is a weak team I believe.I think although that Club Brugge have started the Championship not really well and although that other team is momentarily at the top of the standings I still think Club Brugge is going to win.If the odd is good enough and if I had any money left I would bet on Club Brugge to win the game.

[babygun]

Club Brugge is big favorite against Beerschot but odd for Club to win is only around 1.3. So there is value in double chance for Beerschot.
Beerschot started the competition in a good way and will be highly motivated against a top team

[casperBGD]

round 3 results:
21.08. 19:00 Kortrijk - Eupen X - 0:0 (won)
22.08. 16:15 Waregem - Waasland-Beveren 1 - 4:1 (won)
22.08. 18:30 KV Mechelen - Cercle Brugge KSV 1 - 2:3 (lost)
22.08. 18:30 Leuven - Charleroi 2 - 1:3 (won)
22.08. 20:45 Antwerp - Gent X - 1:0 (lost)
23.08. 13:30 St. Liege - Genk X - 0:0 (won)
23.08. 16:00 Club Brugge KV - Beerschot VA x2 - 0:1 (won)
23.08. 18:15 Anderlecht - Mouscron 1 - 1:1 (lost)
24.08. 20:45 St. Truiden - Oostende X

so, with one match on Monday, have predicted good five results, including surprise Beerschot victory in Brugge, and two draws, what was not expected is that Gent will be on the bottom, after three rounds, with zero points, and that Anderlecht will take just a draw with Mouscron, but extra-time goal by Gnohere was enough for Mouscron to take a point, while playing more than one-half with 10 players

Beerschot and Charleroi are at the top after three rounds, which is far from expected, and probably would not stay for a long time

[YOSHIE]

remark: "i saw that there was one topic for Jupiler league, but it is more than two years without posts, so decided to make another one for this season"

No problem, if the OP updates every week, so anyone who bets and places bets in the Belgian Jupiler league, especially the Bitcointalk community can have a live look at the OP topic.

Oh yes I added a little to their fixtures live.
Can be seen here:

Belgian Jupiler League fixtures.

And the fixtures for this week.

Belgian First Division A Schedule

I hope the Jupiler Belgian league match, in 2020, can go smoothly and be successful.

[casperBGD]

and the last match was finished with a goalless draw between St. Truiden and Oostende, which could be that was expected, although it was not boring at all with two red cards and missed penalty for Oostende

in the end, six good predictions and three lost this round, which makes it 8/18 in these two rounds, i will put that in the thread subject

[casperBGD]

round 4 of Belgian Jupiler league:
28.08. 20:45  Oostende - Anderlecht 2
29.08. 16:15  Eupen - St. Truiden X
29.08. 18:30  Cercle Brugge KSV - Kortrijk X
29.08. 18:30  Waasland-Beveren - Leuven 1
29.08. 20:45  Mouscron - Waregem 1
30.08. 13:30  Genk - Club Brugge KV 2
30.08. 16:00  Beerschot VA - St. Liege X
30.08. 18:15  Charleroi - Antwerp X
30.08. 20:45  Gent - KV Mechelen 1

interesting round, with two top teams having good tests of their quality in home matches, Beerschot VA is playing Liege, and Charleroi is facing Antwerp, i expect draw at both matches, since Beerschot VA made a good start, with win over Brugge, but Liege also started well, and would not be offensive in Antwerpen, so counter-attack strategy that brought them three points in Brugge last week will not be feasible at home match, Charleroi also wrote win over Brugge for themselves, so their top place is well deserved, but Antwerp is a good team, that will be satisfied with draw on Sunday

from other matches, after poor start, i expect from Brugge to get started in Genk this weekend and Gent should be secure to win over Mechelen on Sunday evening
one good pick is to have Beveren at home against Leuven, that have many problems with a lot of injured players, and Beveren will use this game to collect important points in relegation fight that is already an open option for both teams

[slaman29]

Nice thread, and I have to be honest here I don't know much about the league in Belgium but I think any of us here know that you guys produce some fantastic players on the international scene.

Do you think you might share like the totals of betting amount as well with your predictions? I always find that win/lose predictions only make sense with bet amounts too:)

[casperBGD]

round 4 of Belgian Jupiler league - results:
28.08. 20:45  Oostende - Anderlecht 2 - 2:2 (lost)
29.08. 16:15  Eupen - St. Truiden X - 1:1 (won)
29.08. 18:30  Cercle Brugge KSV - Kortrijk X - 0:1 (lost)
29.08. 18:30  Waasland-Beveren - Leuven 1 - 1:3 (lost)
29.08. 20:45  Mouscron - Waregem 1 - 0:1 (lost)
30.08. 13:30  Genk - Club Brugge KV 2 - 1:2 (won)
30.08. 16:00  Beerschot VA - St. Liege X - 0:3 (lost)
30.08. 18:15  Charleroi - Antwerp X - 2:0 (lost)
30.08. 20:45  Gent - KV Mechelen 1 - 1:0 (won)

early goal by Oostender brought them better position in a match and draw with Anderlecht, Brugge and Gent won their matches, that was highly expected from both teams after lousy start of the season, Charleroi continued their strike with fourth win over Antwerp, i did not expect that, and Beerschot proved that they cannot attack good team, finished with three goals in their net against Liege, at the end three win matches for me, but two from them i had a good bet, so happy with this round

Do you think you might share like the totals of betting amount as well with your predictions? I always find that win/lose predictions only make sense with bet amounts too:)

will do from the next round, i planned to provide prediction for all matches, but for some i use small amounts, beer ticket value

[casperBGD]

there was a break, due to League of Nations competition, where Belgium made great impress with two wins 0:2 in Denmark and 5:1 at home with Iceland, congrats to them

round 5 of Belgian Jupiler league:
11.09. 20:45 Eupen - Gent 2 (10)
12.09. 16:15 KV Mechelen - Oostende X (2)
12.09. 18:30 Leuven - St. Liege 2 (7)
12.09. 20:45 Club Brugge KV - Waasland-Beveren 1 (7)
13.09. 13:30 Anderlecht - Cercle Brugge KSV X (4)
13.09. 16:00 St. Truiden - Antwerp X (2)
13.09. 18:15 Waregem - Charleroi X (4)
13.09. 20:45 Kortrijk - Mouscron 2 (4)
14.09. 20:45 Beerschot VA - Genk X (6)

i have added number from 1-10 to matches, as an orientation for the stake that i am ready to put on the match (below 3 usually skip on the tickets)

nevertheless, Gent should win today, quote is good ˇ@2 and this will be one of mayors on my today bets, they had three lost matches in a row, but win over Mechelen brought them back and i think that Eupen will have to go down, although they are good defensive team with great goalkeeper
for others, expect that table will start to get usual shape, so Club Brugge should also won this weekend, Liege as well
Anderlecht did not prove their form at the start of the season, and will skip them probably, expect draw with Cercle Brugge, Beerschot will leave alone until Monday
regarding unexpected, Mouscron could set them of the bottom in Kortrijk, home team has a lot of questionable and injured players and i do not recommend playing on them, with possible surprise there

I just check some stats about today game and I don’t really get why your stake is 10 for Gent tonight.Both teams after 4 games are at the end of the standings and their number of goals scored is not impressive at all.If you have made this decision based only on how big a team is by their name I can understand this but giving a 10 stake is a bit risky.I am going for double chance and checking what happens,although I will play a parlay because as a single dc is not a good odd.

Gent has a bad start, but that does not mean that they are down for the season, missing David felt in first three matches of the season, but they self-confidence against Mechelen was very good, and i do think that after this break they will continue with good performance

of course, you can play what you want to play, this will be my main bet for today, let see how it is going to work-out, it is a good quote to try, nevertheless

what started as a bad weekend, with Eupen win over Gent, finished with only one good prediction and that was Club Brugge won, which is actually hardly be said as prediction, it was widely expected
hopefully, following weekends will bring more good ones

[LTU_btc]

I have watched Beerschot - Genk game yesterday. Genk continue to struggle and they are getting near to relegation zone. They also got 2 red cards in this game. Meanwhile, Beerschot, team which got promoted to top division for the first time now in 2nd place. Not bad for newcomers.

round 6 of Belgian Jupiler league:
18.09. 20:45 Charleroi - Beerschot VA X (3)
19.09. 16:15 Oostende - Leuven X (3)
19.09. 18:30 Mouscron - Gent 2 (6)
19.09. 20:45 Waasland-Beveren - Anderlecht 2 (
20.09. 13:30 Waregem - Club Brugge KV 2 (10)
20.09. 16:00 St. Liege - Kortrijk 1 (
20.09. 18:15 Genk - KV Mechelen 1 (6)
20.09. 20:45 Antwerp - Eupen 1 (6)
21.09. 20:45 Cercle Brugge KSV - St. Truiden 1 (2)

expect for tonight match between Charleoi and Beerschot, that could be qualified as a derby, judging by the table, there will be more than one easy to pick match this weekend, Anderlecht, Brugge, St.Liege, Antwerp should win their matches, and Gent could be a pick, although they hardly are playing in line with their aspirations,
Genk has four matches without a win, but in a tough schedule, so Mechelen should be an easy one for them

six good predictions in this easy round of Belgian championship, with only through surprise in Antwerp, where Eupen took a draw

28.09. 20:45 Genk - Oostende

Kortrijk and Antwerp already started, and Kortrijk took an early lead, while all others are set for the weekend and Genk on Monday and most hoe teams as clear favorites, expect Charleroi that is playing away with Mouscron and is a favorite, all other home teams should score points

If Gent cannot win today it means they are really in a bad shape and not that they had a bad start.This is the perfect occasion to win at home.Six to seven games are needed for a team to reach it physical top level so now there can be no more excuses that is just the beginning of the league.

[Smartvirus]

The Belgian leagues is usually one of the interesting leagues for me in my betting history as they seem to often fall in line with my predictions. It's really nice of OP to have brought it up, it's a good one but then, do your best not n updating it so it could stand out @CasperBGD.
It's always a good thing to see Club brugge dominate the league and I look forward to see yet another win from them today.

results of round 7:

25.09. 20:45 Kortrijk - Antwerp 1:3

27.09. 20:45 Mouscron - Charleroi 1:1
28.09. 20:45 Genk - Oostende 2:2

there was a lot of surprising results in week 7, Gent proved that their form is bad, should be skipped, because they are not winning, Leuven is really a bad team, and this win was widely expected, but also Liege, Anderlecht, Genk did not win this week, and Club Brugge use it to improve their position on the table, Beerschot win another one, to stay in top row

[babygun]

Surprising draw of Charleroi against the red lantern Mouscron, they have lost their maximum. Beerschot is still in fine form and is, for me, one of the surprises this season.
Genk, with their new head coach Thorup, couldn't also win; the same as Gent. A couple of years ago, Gent was one of the best teams in the Pro League and right now they are at place 15 of the 18...

there is a big derby all round Belgium in this round, between Club Brugge and Anderlecht, although Brugge is a lot better in last few seasons, with two more interesting matches between Charleroi and Liege, and Gent and Beerschot
Antwerp should win over Mechelen tonight

04.10. 18:15 Charleroi - St. Liege 1:2
04.10. 20:45 Oostende - Mouscron 3:0

main takeovers from this round is a win from Club Brugge over Anderlecht, easy one 3:0 at the end, and their emerge on position two, soon to be leaders, Charleroi lost at home against Liege, that is now third and Gent was on the right side on Sunday, kicking 5:1 Beerschot, that will probably go down from this point
Leuven won another match, and they are close to top with 4 wins in 8 matches, pretty good result for them

[Lordhermes]

Club Brugge KV - Anderlecht 3:0

Round is a win from Club Brugge over Anderlecht, easy one 3:0 at the end, and their emerge on position two, soon to be leaders.

Club Brugge had had the best result updated so far OP but sometimes I wonder why Club Brugge the leading champion in the league also find it harder to perform excellently in any international matches like the champions league or Europa league as well. They are really playing a good game but they haven't at least qualified to round 16 in CL, I really think Jupiler league needs to have some experience players that can tackle both league and international matches.

Good point Lordhermes. Firstly, I most comment on my disappoint in the league from the Genk draw against Waasland-Beveren this weekend, had high hopes on delivery for the games though, I get it that predictions might not always be right. Club brugge delivered as always but then, the issue about club brugge not winning matches in other leagues is relatively true. Looking at Club brugge's statistics in last seasons Europa and their statistics at the league games, they performed rather poorly. Most of their games with top teams resulted either as a draw or a loss.
A team like Club brugge should be a title contenders not some easy access to earn 3 points or advance to the next phase in the league judging from the quality of players and the league they are found to champion.

after a week break due to Nations league, Jupiler league is playing this weekend, without Friday match, although Belgium stopped some lower divisions from continuing playing football, due to Covid (code Orange for sport in Belgium)

biggest match is between Liege and Brugge, old derby of Belgium football, where both teams are complete, and good match should be expected, in other Genk is facing Charleroi and i expect from them to win one tough match at last, with Anderlecht having a match with Leuven, which is in good form at the moment, and it will not be an easy task to beat them

Gent lost another match, and this season will be a bad one for them, it seems so at the moment, Anderlecht did not succeed to win over Leuven, which was a bit expected, Liege and Brugge draw was expected as well, Charleroi now has three matches without win in a row, after six wins and Eupen won important match against Mouscron

It is still surprising that Gent is so bad this year, if they continue to play like this than playoff 1 will be impossible to reach.  Standard - Club ended in a draw, but the penalty that Standard got at the very end was debatale.
Anderlecht was 2-0 up, but still ended in a draw. I am wondering how long that Kompany will get credit...

two matches are postponed due to corona - Cercle Brugge KSV vs Mouscron and Charleroi vs Waasland-Beveren

will be interesting how Leuven that is in a good form at the moment will play against Club Brugge, after their win in Champions league, and Liege has a nice chance to sit on the top, if win in St. Truiden, in case that Brugge does not win in Leuven
will be interesting in Antwerp, where city derby in on the programme, and tonight in Kortrijk, both teams in the middle of the table at the moment

it is interesting to look on the table, top 9 teams are in five points difference only, it is never that interesting in Jupiler league

match between Eupen and Mechelen is postponed due to 7 players from Mechelen positive to corona virus, and other matches brought surprising results, Liege lost match with St. Truiden, Brugge lost in Leuven, although Leuven is no more surprise, they play very good this season, Antwerp won in city derby and Anderlecht won in Kortrijk on Friday
Gent lost another match, and this season will be a tough one for them

situation with corona is very bad in Belgium, and it is questionable how this season will going to finish, since indoor sports are already stopped and they bring down some outdoor sports too

02.11. 20:45 Waregem - Kortrijk

match between Mouscron and St. Truiden is postponed

Genk should win tonight, but nothing is obviously certain in Belgium this season, Leuven is playing with Beerschot and that will be interesting, with Leuven a bit of favourite tomorrow, IMO
there is six teams on the top, with two point difference, and three from them have "easy" matches at home - Charleroi, Club Brugge and St.Liege, so these should be good to go, although quotes are really low, even on Charleroi with @1.45

most interesting should be between Anderlecht and Antwerp, where Antwerp as current leader should be considered as favorite, and they won over Spurs in Europa league yesterday, so their form is on the top

Brugge should have won that game with 2-0 up... Clement was outrageous when his team drawed, funny to see  .

On another note, Thorup, head coach for Genk has already left the building after 6 weeks. He will now be the headcoach of FC Copenhagen. I think it was a surpise for everyone and hopefully Genk can find quickly another head coach.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Tonight, we saw an awesome match between Cercle Brugge and Charleroi. After bringing the score to 2-0, Cercle Brugge got an unfortunate red card. After that, Charleroi started taking the control of the match and they managed to bring the score to 2-3. But Cercle Brugge didn't give up on the match and brought the score to 3-3 in the last minutes of the match. But Charleroi showed that they really wanted this win and scored their 4th goal 2 minutes after the Cercle Brugge's 3rd goal. That was really enjoyable to watch.

[ILuckyGuyI]

There is a match going on between Genk and Kortrijk right now. Genk lost their away match to Anderlecht last week. But they are one of the top three teams in the league. They are 1-0 ahead now and I think they will score more goals and win this match easily.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Club Brugge are going to play a home match against Eupen tomorrow. Club Brugge got a shocking loss against Gent last week. They played so good and they were the dominant team. But Gent managed to secure the win somehow. After an unexpected loss to Gent, I think Club Brugge will be hungry for the win here and they will demolish Eupen.

[CLS63]

Club Brugge are playing an easy home game against Eupen now. They are 3-0 ahead. They got a red card a few minutes ago but they still managed to score their 3rd goal now. This will be an easy win for them.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Gent played an away match against Kortrijk this evening. They won three times in a row in the league before this match. They came here with a big confidence. But they got an unfortunate red card and lost the match 1-0.

[LTU_btc]

Standard Liege at home surprisingly lost to St. Truiden 1:2. Before this round St. Truiden were last on the table. It's worth to mention that for more than 30 minutes, Standard had one man more on the pitch after red card. On last minutes Standard had great chamce to make result 2:2, but goalkeeper made amazing save.

[CLS63]

There was a match between Genk and Waasland-Beveren today. Genk had a wonderful form before this match. They lost just one game lately. In this match, they played quite good especially in the second half. But they couldn't manage to win and the match ended 1-1. I have no doubt that Club Brugge are happy with this result.

[Spack17]

After having a bad form, Anderlecht started climbing to the top. They played against Beerschot VA yesterday evening. They played very good in general and got an easy 2-0 win at Lotto Park. Nmecha scored the first goal from penalty and the last goal came from Mukairu.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Genk are going to play an away game against Eupen next week. Genk missed the chance of winning against Waasland-Beveren on their last matches. I think this time they will play way better and beat Eupen without having much difficulty.

[ILuckyGuyI]

St. Truiden are playing a home game against Beerschot VA right now. The match is going on very balanced. St. Truiden won their last two matches and it gave them a confidence on this match. Beerschot VA lost their last three matches and they are not on a good form. I think the advantageous team on this match is St. Truiden. But it is hard to make a guess clearly about who can win. In my opinion, St. Truiden won't lose this.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Club Brugge are going to play an away game against St. Truiden next weekend. Club Brugge are the leader with 39 points and St. Truiden are the 14th with 20 points. St. Truiden managed to beat Beerschot VA 1-0  on their last game which should be really good for them. Club Brugge are the best team on away games now. They got 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 9 away games. They scored 22 goals (which is so good) and conceded only 5 goals. St. Truiden might hold Club Brugge in the first half but I think Club Brugge will win this in the end.

[Aqualung89]

Belgian league team to me in a flash time of Anderlecht, but for a few years almost two years failed to meet the right hand to smooth sewing club brugge reeds have taken the case. Club brugge doesn't have a tough match this week, I think it can win easily or not. If I can say is for Anderlecht displacement going to win if I see more fortunate.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Anderlecht are going to play an away game against Leuven next week. Anderlecht are the 4th with 32 points and Leuven are the 6th with 29 points. Anderlecht have had a good form lately. They got just one loss (which was to Charleroi) on their last five matches. They are getting close to the top places. Leuven have had a bad performance for 3 matches. They got two losses and one draw on these matches. Leuven got their last win against Anderlecht seven years ago. In my opinion, this will be a hard match but Anderlecht will win this.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Beerschot VA are going to play a home game against Gent this weekend. Beerschot VA are the 7th with 28 points and Gent are the 9th with 25 points. I expect a close game. There is a really interesting statistics about Beerschot VA. They are not only the most scoring team but also the most conceding team. They scored 39 goals and conceded 40 in 18 matches. They have been losing for 4 matches. Gent won 3 of their last 4 matches. They lost to Kortrijk 1-0 away on their last match but they got a red card. Despite having a red card, they played really good. I think we will watch at least 3 goals in this match. Also, I think Beerschot will end their losing streak here.

[Spack17]

There is a nice competition between Club Brugge and Genk for being the leader now. Club Brugge have 39 points in 19 matches. Genk have 35 points in 18 matches. Charleroi and Anderlecht are waiting for them to make mistakes and close the gap on them. I think the closest team to be the champion is Club Brugge.

[Spack17]

Genk won very easily against Eupen tonight (4-1). Actually Eupen played not too bad. They got 20 shots but only 3 of them were on target. They had a big problem on taking shots on goal. Onuachu made a hat-trick and I think he was the man of the match for certain.

[ILuckyGuyI]

St. Liege are going to play a home game against Waasland-Beveren on next Monday. St. Liege are the 11th with 25 points and Waasland-Beveren are the 16th with 19 points. St. Liege haven't got a win in the league for 8 matches which is really bad. After having a 5-match unbeaten streak (4W 1D), Waasland-Beveren didn't get a win on their last 3 matches (2L 1D). St. Liege really need a win now and I think they will beat Waasland-Beveren here.

[ILuckyGuyI]

The second half of Kortrijk-Genk match has started. Genk didn't give their competitor much chance in the first half by taking the control. But Kortrijk scored first in the 23rd minute. Genk scored the equalizer in the 41st minute. I think Genk will be the winner here.

[casperBGD]

The second half of Kortrijk-Genk match has started. Genk didn't give their competitor much chance in the first half by taking the control. But Kortrijk scored first in the 23rd minute. Genk scored the equalizer in the 41st minute. I think Genk will be the winner here.

Kortrijk won it in the end, good for them, and for Charleroi as well, since they have a chance to win tonight in Oostende and be just two points below (although I clearly doubt that Charleroi could keep up with Genk)

Shamar is playing very good lately, did not saw the possibility to put him as a scorer tonight, but it seems as a good chance for that, in case the Charleroi win, so it is a better value in that bet

[Bilgent]

I don't know how it happened but Genk played too bad in the second half. They were like they gave up on the game. So, I think Kortrijk deserved to win. Because they had a great performance in the second half.

[ampere]

St.Truiden  vs Club Brugge

League leaders Club Brugge will be playing a late night tie against Relegation threatened truiden side today; and i believe they shhould be able to extend their lead at the top of the league with a good victory tonight.

I predict a 3-1 victory for club brugge

[ILuckyGuyI]

Club Brugge managed to beat St. Truiden 2-1 last night. After finishing the first half 2-0 ahead by playing dominantly, they didn't do much in the second half. St. Truiden were really good in the second half and they brought the score to 2-1. They could have got one point here but they couldn't succeed in doing it.

[DatKing]

It is a huge defeat for Waasland-Beveren against St. Liege away (3-1). But it was not unexpected for me. St. Liege were the more powerful side and they finally ended their very bad streak by winning easily here.

Oostende are going to play a home game against Eupen tonight. Oostende are the 9th with 28 points and Eupen are the 14th with 23 points. Oostende have a better form than Eupen lately and I think they are also the predominant team here. In my opinion, Oostende will beat Eupen.

I checked the last five head-to-heads and Eupen are really better there. Eupen won four games and there was a draw. But they are having a bad season now and I think they won't win this.

This reminds me of the saying that past results do not guarantee future performance.I agree Oostende is going to win tonight.In these days where everybody is focused to bet on the Premier League betting in other leagues like this can be a smart choice.The odd are also good at 1.8 considering that Oostende is playing home.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Oostende-Eupen game ended 1-1 even though Eupen played with 10 players for 74 minutes. Despite getting a red card, Eupen scored the first goal. Oostende were nearly losing if they didn't manage to score in the 79th minute. Oostende still can't get a win against them.

[judas]

Beerschot played against Cercle Brugge which are one of the weak teams in the league. But I must say that Cercle Brugge tried very hard and had a better performance. Beerschot got 1-0 ahead in the first half and they were very close to win the game. But in the last minutes Cercle Brugge finally scored their deserved goal and it ended 1-1.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Anderlecht are going to play an away game against Eupen tomorrow night. Anderlecht are the 5th with 32 points and Eupen are the 13th with 24 points. Anderlecht got 3 wins on their last 5 games and Eupen got only one. Eupen are too bad on home games and Anderlecht also are too bad on away games. But I think there is a very obvious quality difference between them and my bet is on Anderlecht' win.

I think it will be a difficult game for Anderlecht but most probably they are going to win.The problem is that no one is playing anymore for the title because Club Brugge is clearly the best team for this season judging their stats having scored the most goals in the league.So interest is not big in this league unless Brugge losses a couple of games.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Genk are going to play an away game against Mouscron tomorrow evening. Genk are the 2nd with 38 points and Mouscron are at the last place with 17 points. Genk lost their last game to Kortrijk and they will definitely want to win this game not to get away from the leader Club Brugge. I expect Genk to win this easily.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Anderlecht are going to play a home game against Charleroi tomorrow night. Anderlecht are the 7th with 32 points and Charleroi are the 4th with 33 points. Both teams got 2 wins on the last 5 games. Anderlecht are the best team on home games in the league (6W 4D). I think Anderlecht will beat them here.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Club Brugge are going to play a home game against Oostende tomorrow night. C. Brugge are the leader with 45 points and Oostende are the 5th with 32 points. Club Brugge lost only once on the last 5 games (4W 1L) and Oostende got only loss too (3W 1D 1L). C. Brugge are 7 points away from their closest opponent Genk. I think Oostende have not much chance here and C. Brugge can win this.

[casperBGD]

Brugge has the match against Oostende and already a 7-point difference, which would lead them probably to another title in the end

there are interesting matches today and tomorrow in this round, with Gent and Genk having their duel tomorrow, another blow would see Genk out of the title race

[ILuckyGuyI]

Anderlecht are going to play a home game against Charleroi tomorrow night. Anderlecht are the 7th with 32 points and Charleroi are the 4th with 33 points. Both teams got 2 wins on the last 5 games.

Anderlecht managed to beat Charleroi 3-0 just as I expected. They are 10 points away from the leader Club Brugge now. But I don't give them any chance for being the champions. But I believe they will finish at top 3.

Yes, Club Brugge are at a very comfortable position now. But it feels like they won't be the winning side in this game. Oostende have been very good for 4 weeks. I know that Brugge beat them many times before. But we could watch a different game this time I think.

[casperBGD]

Brugge made it, it was a tough one, 2:1 in the end, Oostende missed penalty, but three points are what it is important from this match
Liege is back, third win in a row, and interesting enough, against Mechelen, so they break Mechelen's four win strike, nevertheless, these four wins could secure Mechelen position in Jupiler league for next season

De Ketelaere is playing great this season, and news link him to AC Milan, which is maybe a bit early for him, he is 19 now, but hopefully not going to burn out there, if transfer goes ahead

[ILuckyGuyI]

Genk are going to play a home game against Gent tonight. Genk are the 2nd with 38 points and Gent are the 13th with 26 points. Genk lost their last 2 games. Gent didn't get a win on their last 3 games (1D 2L). All of Genk's remaining games are important. If they continue making mistakes, they will lose their chance of being the champions mathematically too. I think Genk will win this game.

[Lordhermes]

I'm really impressed by the last season underdog team Royal Antwerp sitting at the third position in the Belgian jupiler league while having one outstanding match to play in the future, Antwerp played a good fantastic game last night with Cercle Brugge and I see a little improvement in their style of play, I remembered watching their winning game against Tottenham in the Europa league which certainly the team played like an international level. I personally think Antwerp will finish on the 2nd position in the Belgian league this season.

agree for Antwerp, but I would not call them underdogs in Belgium, they are established team there, and have a good chance to be within top three at the end of the season
what is more interesting to me is Leuven, they are playing great, and with a yesterday win over Waregem they are close to top three as well, with Brugge as a new champion obviously, position two fight and CL spot is getting more interesting than ever (first four teams are getting together into Champions group after 34 matches this season, there is plenty of time for Anderlecht as well, but it is getting interesting)

Charleroi is down, with four loses, but that could change as well, new year break did not do well for them

[ILuckyGuyI]

Anderlecht are going to play a home game against Waasland-Beveren tonight. Anderlecht are the 5th with 35 points and Waasland-Beveren are the second last with 20 points. Anderlecht got 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 games. Waasland-Beveren didn't get any win in their last 5 games. They are one of the terrible teams of this season and I think this will be an easy game for Anderlecht.

[ILuckyGuyI]

One of the surprise teams of this season is Antwerp. They are going to play a home game against Oostende tonight. Antwerp are the 3rd with 37 points and Oostende are the 8th with 32 points. Antwerp got 4 wins in their last 5 games (4W 1L) and Oostende lost only once (3W 1D 1L). Both side have a good form. In my opinion, Antwerp could win this game.

[casperBGD]

we probably just saw title ending up in Brugge this season as well, with home win over Genk, that is now 12 points behind, interesting match finished 3:2, after Brugge trailing 1:2 at the half time, and it was just after Vanaken was out that Brugge made an effort to turn-around the score, after three matches suspension following red card, he was obviously not that into game for Genk, but Vanaken is probably the most valuable Brugge player



in other matches main take-away are another win for Liege in a row, they are making themselves into top four teams, and another win for Mechelen, after loss from Standard, they are back into their winning strike

It was hell of a game. It was a great comeback from Club Brugge. After this huge win for C. Brugge, the point difference is really high now. There are only 11 weeks left until the end. I don't think C. Brugge will make a big mistake from now on and they will be the champions easily.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Anderlecht are going to play an away game against Mouscron tonight. Anderlecht are the 5th with 36 points and Mouscron are the 16th with 24 points. Anderlecht are the worst team in away games (only 2 wins in 11 games). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Anderlecht won 2 times, Mouscron won once and 2 games ended in a draw. Mouscron defeated Genk 2-0 here two weeks ago. It looks like this will be a hard game for Anderlecht. But I don't think Anderlecht will lose this game. It is quite possible that both teams score goals.

Didn't really have a good feeling for today's match, even though it was a match between the top and bottom ranking teams it didn't guarantee a win for the top-ranking team. Not only is the team bad when playing away, because with a number of Anderlecht players injured, I think that is an obstacle for Anderlecht to perform well when playing away. So with this bad trend I'm not sure Anderlecht can score because even Anderlecht's last three away games have always lost without scoring.

Mouscron are 1-0 ahead now. After Mouscron scored in the 18th minute, Anderlecht answered in five minutes. But it was cancelled by VAR decision (offside). If Anderlecht score a goal, your both predictions could happen.

My prediction came true. Anderlecht managed to score the equalizer in the stoppage time and it ended 1-1. But Anderlecht are still terrible in away games like I said. They couldn't win this too. They are the 5th with 37 points now.

Antwerp is playing Beveren tonight, and it seems as a clear home run for them, although there are several players on both sides that will miss the match

Beveren skipped relegation last season, but want do it this season, and Antwerp is playing solid football, so missing some players should not influence their tonight performance, and @1.55 seems as a value bet on them, did not catch many chances to watch them this season, and would not watch this as well, but would try to get some on this one, will see how it is going to turn out

it was not easy, but Antwerp managed to win in the end, close one 3:2

if I had to pick one to follow from tomorrow list, I would prefer Leuven and Beerschot, seems that it will be a good match with over goals, both teams struggle with injuries, but keep their positions near the top, although hard to expect them in top 4 championship group in the end
except goals, would not call a winner for this match, although Leuven should be closer to win

[swogerino]

There are a few games today but the most interesting one for me is Mechelen vs Genk.I don’t understand why the odd of Genk to win is 2.4 when Genk is clearly the better team here.Mechelen has been relatively good this season but I don’t think they are as good as to beat Genk today.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Genk are going to play an away game against Mechelen today. Genk are the 3rd with 42 points and Mechelen are the 10th with 32 points. After a 4-game bad form, Genk managed to get a win in their last game. Mechelen lost only once in their last 5 games (4W 1L). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Genk won 3 times and Mechelen won twice. Maybe Genk's chance is really low but they still have a chance to catch up with Club Brugge mathematically. So, I believe they will win this game.

They drew with Mechelen 0-0 and Club Brugge won their game against St. Liege 3-1. Antwerp also won their game against Waasland-Beveren 3-2. Now, Club Brugge have 57 points. Antwerp are the 2nd and Genk are the 3rd with the same points (43). There is a huge point difference and there are only 9 weeks left to the end. Club Brugge seem that they will be the champions very easily. The competition for the 2nd place is going on and I think Antwerp will manage to make it.

actually, they have Championship round after the regular season, and all teams start with half number of points from regular season, top four teams join the Championship group, and play for the title
it is still a large advantage for Brugge, and probably they are already Champions, but there is 15 rounds more (6 in Championship group) and the difference will cut in half, so it is seven points at the moment, with 6 tough matches in Championship group, with three best other teams

nevertheless, Brugge is in the series, and it could be expected that they will keep the advantage and get the title, or at least from this point it looks like that

one more for Brugge, de Ketelaere is on AC Milan scanner, and will probably leave at the end of the season

We are in the last 9 weeks and Club Brugge are very comfortable because of having a 14-point difference with their closest competitors Antwerp and Genk in Jupiler League. If we don't see a surprise, Club Brugge will be the champions two times in a row.

[casperBGD]

Mouscron is playing with Kortrijk tonight, and that seems as a good value to bet on them, although both teams are near the bottom, on the brink of relegation zone, Mouscron is actually getting out from there, and Kortrijk is going down, so momentum is on Mouscron side

both teams are close to complete tonight, and I think that Mouscron will get points tonight, which could brought them a bit far from relegation zone, they lost in Cup throughout the week, but staying in Jupiler league is certainly a priority, so I will try my luck @3

Chances are high that Club Brugge retains the title this year, but don't forget that all points will be halved when the play-offs start. And in the past, we already saw some surprises when a team had a big lead!

There is definitely some value on betting on Mouscron, they seem to be in a better flow than Kortrijk and an odd of 3 is not bad at all. Just placed a small bet also on Mouscron to win.

Club Brugge are going to play an away game against Waasland-Beveren this evening. Club Brugge are the leader with 57 points and Waasland-Beveren are the last with 21 points. Club Brugge didn't get any loss (5W) and Waasland-Beveren didn't get any win (2D 3L) in the last 5 games in the league. C. Brugge have been getting wins in home games for 4 weeks. In the last 5 head-to-head games, C. Brugge won 3 times, Waasland-Beveren won only once and one game ended in a draw.

C. Brugge are at a very comfortable position now and this is another easy game for them. If we don't see any surprises, C. Brugge will beat their opponent. But I feel like C. Brugge could lose points this time. Because there are only 9 weeks left and Waasland-Beveren fight for not relegating from Jupiler League. So, we could see a draw here.

Club Brugge won this game too with a 2-0 score and they have been having an amazing season so far. Their next game is going to be against Charleroi away this weekend. Charleroi are the 7th with 38 points and C. Brugge are maintaining their lead with 60 points. C. Brugge didn't lose (5W) and Charleroi won only once (1W 2D 2L) in the last 5 games in the league. Charleroi haven't been winning in home games for 3 weeks (2D 1L). C. Brugge won their last 6 away games. In the last 5 head-to-head games, C.

C. Brugge go on so comfortably and they will guarantee their championship when there are 4 games left to the end (if C. Brugge and Antwerp both win all their games until then). I was wrong about Beveren game but I think this time C. Brugge can lose points. Charleroi are not an easy team to defeat away.

[casperBGD]

in recap, interesting round, with Brugge having another good match and away win
Anderlecht made their point in Genk, and made a large step to Championship Group, since they are now fourth, and competition seems to be a bit of the shape, and Oostende does not seem good enough to keep up till the end

there is a Championship group round in the end of regular part, so they are close, but after halving points, difference will be smaller, and all top teams will have better chances, although I do not expect that Brugge will lost title, you should be aware that it is not finished after 34 rounds

[ILuckyGuyI]

..., you should be aware that it is not finished after 34 rounds

Oh, I'm so sorry that I was mistaken.    Yes, the points are going to be divided in half in the playoffs. I actually know that and I don't know why I wrote it like that. It should be a moment that I was preoccupied.    And still, C. Brugge seem as the closest team to reach the championship.

Genk are going to play an away game against Oostende tomorrow night. Genk are the 3rd with 43 points and Oostende are the 7th with 39 points.

Both teams are out of form lately. This can be a hard game for both teams. I think Genk are one step ahead of their opponent and they will get a win with a 1 goal difference.

[casperBGD]

Mechelen is on the line tonight, with their recent plays push them on the edge of Championship group
Gent is a fair level rival, better than them, but with this form, Mechelen could see Europe competition next season, and have solid chances tonight, while @3.5 for a home win could be considered as good value, looking at the table and their recent form

Gent did not lost five matches in a row, but Mechelen is on a strike, with four wins, including two last ones on a side in Antwerp, against Beerschot

Genk are going to play a home game against Beerschot this weekend. Genk are the 3rd with 43 points and Beerschot are the 10th with 37 points.

One of my guesses happened and both teams scored goals. But Genk lost the match 1-2.    It was a really interesting match. Actually, Genk were better compared to Beerschot according to the statistics. But Beerschot got a very nice and important win as it helped them get closer to qualifying for Championship Group.

[casperBGD]

important match tonight, two teams with ambitions to join Champions group (seems that half a league still has that ambition, two rounds before final bell)
on the other hand, both are down with form, with Genk having more chances, just because they are currently third, and Charleroi is on position 11, four points down from Genk, a win would put their chances up, lose will get them out, Genk could survive even without a point tonight

since Genk has three loses in a row, would skip this tonight

Mechelen had great chance last weekend to get into top, but missed to win over Gent, and arguably, I think they are now out from the race, so will put something on Oostende, that they will win this weekend and almost secure their Championship group, which would be a great success for them, especially if Sakala would be in for that match

In the last 5 (official) head-to-head games, Club Brugge won 3 times, Gent won once and 1 game ended in a draw. In this season, Gent beat Club Brugge 1-0 away on Dec 20, 2020.

Missing player(s) at Gent: Sulayman Marreh, Yonas Malede, M. Ngadeu Ngadjui, Laurent Depoitre (2 goals), Giorgi Chakvetadze

Club Brugge have already qualified for Championship Group. They are struggling with injuries and they have some important missing players. Gent managed to beat them once this season and there isn't any reason for them not to do it again. They have been fighting for qualifying for Europa League Group and they have even a chance for Championship Group also. There is a very nice odd for Gent win (2.96).

[casperBGD]

good round in Belgium, and things are almost clear now, with Genk, Oostende and Anderlecht wins in last round

Oostende brought me some wins, missed that on Genk, but from these three one will join Championship group, with Antwerp and Brugge that is already a Champion, IMO, but it will be more than interesting fight for position two

regarding last round, Anderlecht is waiting for a draw from either Genk or Oostende to even have a chance to join top 4, with Genk have to win over Cercle Brugge, that is struggling at the bottom, and needs a point to stay in Jupiler and Oostende having a match in Gent, where home team does not have much motivation to play
seems that Oostende is again best choice, will wait for the weekend

[Cafex]

In the Charleroi-Genk match, both teams had similar statistics and deserved to win. Genk succeeded in winning 2-1 in the end. They needed this win also as they lost their last three matches in the league. Today, there is Leuven-Antwerp match. It is one of the important matches for Leuven as they are making an effort to stay in EL Group. Mbokani (8 goals) will not play in this match at Antwerp. I think that Leuven may get at least one point.

[swogerino]

It will be difficult for Leuven to get a win today against Antwerp.Antwerp is in the second position and is one of the really good teams of the season.I think a draw 1-1 and a both teams to score is the more likely result during this match.

It was a quite tough game for Leuven actually but they managed to defeat Antwerp with the goals they scored consecutively in the 25th and 29th minutes. By getting a huge win in this game, they are in a safer condition now in the table.

[casperBGD]

nice matches in this round - with Anderlecht at home with Mechelen, and Antwerp with Kortrijk being most interesting
still have no picks for the weekend, but want to share that Sorare partnered with Ubisoft and Jupiler league to put up interesting game https://oneshotleague.ubisoft.com/ , where you can join with your Sorare log-in credentials, pick your players, and play until the end of Jupiler season, for rewards

there is no entry payment or cards possession requirements, you get common cards from Sorare, the only condition is that you get 25 cards, and each could be used just one time, so the name oneshotleague, interesting move from Sorare and Ubisoft to popularize fantasy football

If you place a bet on Anderlecht since today and they are playing on Sunday the odd is 1.9 right now.It will surely go down as Anderlecht needs the 3 points in order to get higher in the standings and get a place in Champions League qualifiers.I don’t think Mechelen should be much of a problem for them and they should win this game.

nevertheless, I will wait till Sunday, since cannot be sure regarding Anderlecht form at the moment, Mechelen was in a good strike recently, but last two games stopped their progress to even Championship group

still, cannot be ruled out that they could fight, and Anderlecht was far from great this season, it is more/less just their big name that holds them in upper part of the table, so will put it on Sunday, probably some beer money on them and goals, and hoping that Storm will score for Mechelen, and bring me a reward in Sorare

It is actually an important game for both sides. If Anderlect become victorious, then they can go up to the Championship Group. But if Mechelen win this, they can go up to Europa League Group. I'd also like to indicate that their first game in this season ended in a 2-2 draw. In that game, Mechelen barely secured a point. So, I think this time Anderlecht will be the winner.

[casperBGD]

Gent won over Oostende last night, to leave the fourth place race open till the end
was boring win, but good for three points, that would not give Gent anything special, but Anderlecht is now on the same point line with Oostende, with their home draw against Mechelen (would not bet on Anderlecht any more, this was a must be win, and they missed it)

nevertheless, good week for me in Oneshotleague, but there were excellent ones by others

Anderlecht's point loss against Mechelen was a surprising thing for me. I was expecting them to win and take the 4th place. Anderlecht were so dominant in the game but it was still inadequate for a win. They have the same points with the 4th Oostende now and there are still 4 games before the playoffs. I believe that Anderlecht will manage to be in the CL group.

i would not bet on that one, they are good team, but most of their dominance is in the name, and name does not play on the pitch
Oostende has good team, their form is fair at the moment, and that will be a tight race, where others could also jump in, since point difference is small, and there is no team in winning strike or something

[ILuckyGuyI]

Charleroi and Club Brugge are going to play their missing game against each other in 2 days. Club Brugge have already a big advantage before playoff games but they will want to gather as many points as possible now of course. Charleroi have a bad form lately but they still are 3 points away from promoting to the EL Group. They will definitely want to beat C. Brugge here. They managed to do it away 1-0 once and they may do it again home. But it will be hard for them surely.

[casperBGD]

league is finished, and top4 continues in Championship group, Brugge is 8 points ahead, which is more than enough to secure the title in last six rounds. Much more fight will be for second Champions league position, although it is just for qualifications, and it would be hard for them to skip all competition and get-into Group stage
Antwerp is on 30 points now, Anderlecht on 29 points and Gent is fourth with 28 points, interesting times ahead for Jupiler league finish

Club Brugge really have a big advantage in the Championship Group. I've no doubt that Anderlecht, Antwerp and Genk all will do their best to fight for the title but I see their chance being quite low. But there will be a huge competition for the 2nd place to be able to promote to the CL qualification it's for sure.

They say you can see the sun since early morning meaning that Club Brugge has dominated the Jupiler League this year and their way of playing have been much better than that of their opponents.It is really hard for them to lose the title in the Championship group as they are the better team here.

[casperBGD]

two more weeks for Jupiler league to start, and interesting transfers are coming up there

Noa Lang is back with Brugge, after 12 goals last season in Ajax second team, as most notable confirmed transfer to date
Yaremchuk performance on Euro2020 was noticed, and there is "soon to be confirmed " rumour that he will join Wolfsburg next season, that could impact Gent attack, with Yaremchuk scored 17 goals last season

Antwerp signed Balikwisha from Standard, which proves their top ambitions for next season

will be an interesting season, starting on 23.07.

[casperBGD]

since my sorare account is heavily dependent on Jupiler league players, new season start is really important, and it is this weekend


Brugge is playing Eupen, Mechelen is playing Antwerp, while everything starts tonight in Liege, where Standard is playing Genk
regarding transfers, Brugge lost Kossounou yesterday, since he signed for Leverkusen, will be a bite on their defense, but mainly for Europe, since Brugge should be dominant in Jupiler this season as well

[LTU_btc]

While most European top leagues haven't started yet, if you're missing football, Belgian league is good thing to watch. Though, in 1st round there is no must watch games, but maybe I will turn on Liege - Genk game. On the other hand, Hamburger - Schalke in 2nd Bundesliga sounds interesting too.
I see nobody haven't mentioned, last weekend Brugge won Supercup after beating Genk 3:2.

[Pulsar77]

The Jupiler League is underway and it started earlier than other big leagues too. As we all know, the last champions are Club Brugge. The champions are going to host Eupen tomorrow and have their first game in the new season. And I think that they will have a really good start by defeating their opponent with a decent score.

[ingiltere]

It's nice to see Belgian league is back before other major leagues. You can always watch young talented guys in this league before they move on to top five leagues with big transfer fees.
Standard Liege and Genk started with a draw. Club Brugge will beat AS Eupen but odds are too low so I might try for home teams over 1.5 goals or handicap -1 depending on odds. Anderlecht odds are quiet good against Union Saint-Gilloise. I would pick their win and parlay with Liege game. Union Saint-Gilloise just promoted from second league, I don't think they can keep up with top teams like Anderlecht.

It didn't happened - game ended 2:2. Brugge only managed to equalise score on 103th minute of game - I watchd only end of game and have no idea why referee had to add 10 minutes to the game.
In other game Anderlecht lost to newly promoted Union Saint-Gilloise.
Currently Genk losing against Sint-Truiden 2:1
1st round is full of surprises.

Luckily I didn't play then.
Club Brugge over 1.5 goals bet OK but they couldn't win the game. Bas Dost scored from penalty and De Ketelaere scored in extra time.
Anderlecht lost at home, now that's a surprise. It just shows we shouldn't play side bets at the start of the season. There are too much uncertainties. I'll just stick to over goal bets if I make bets in Jupiler League. 8 of 9 games finished over 1.5 goals in first week.

[casperBGD]

second round results in Jupiler league


Antwerp lost second match, in two rounds, so they are now alone at the bottom, hopefully this would see de Wolf back as first goalkeeper, and Butez back on bench
Kortrijk is alone at the top, with two wins, Brugge and Charleroi are within top6

[jakdanyel]

The 21/22 season has started! And I see that Club Brugge have had a little problematic start. Because they were nearly being defeated by Eupen. They barely saved one point by scoring in the 90+13th minute which was really insane. They had a difficulty in winning against St. Gilloise also. They managed to score in the 84th minute finally and won the game 1-0 away. This seems like a sign that they are still not fully ready for the season. But this may change in the coming games of course.

[ingiltere]

Another draw at home by Club Brugge. Just when you think they win the game Waldo Rubio made the scene and said the last word. This is what happens when you are leading whole game and couldn't find second goal, you get punished. Maybe Clement should put Bas Dost on to the pitch 20 minutes earlier, things could've been different. This is not a good start for Club Brugge. I'm sure they will tidy up on upcoming matches but point losses in home games always upset fans.
OP, can you change title to Belgian Jupiler League 21/22? That would look better.

[casperBGD]

interesting round in Belgium, there is no team that has three wins after three rounds, Brugge did not started in their best, with two home draws

nevertheless, third round winner is Michael Frey, new addition to Antwerp scored 5 goals (yes, five) in a derby vs Standard Liege, and made it to the scorers top list, with six goals in total, that was a first win for Antwerp, that invested a lot in this team, and probably expect title fight in Belgium and at least to pass Europa league group stage

[casperBGD]

bump

Club Brugge lost 1:6 from Gent, in a fair game, but Gent scored everything they shot on target and Brugge had missing festival
it is interesting to see match when team had possession, control and lost with 6 goals conceived

nevertheless, it is just bad day, and Brugge will be back for CL group stage and title fight

Most surprising result this round and I don't think anybody would have predicted this scoreline  . One of the biggest losses for Club Brugge and they need to regroup if they for the upcoming CL match.
I have the feeling that this season that Club will not be able to win the title, but we are only a couple of matches underway.

[kayiboyu]

What a huge loss Club Brugge got against Gent. I really don't know what happened to Club Brugge that caused them to lose to a weaker team with a huge score like 6-1. Because they didn't start to the league badly also. This is an embarrassing result for them and they should work harder to make up for this shocking result. As long as they stay focused, they can continue from where they left.

Yes it was a shock for me too i did not expect that performance especially against gent team they did not had a great performance but they are a big team also and it could happen i think the early 2 goals in the first 15 minutes played a major role and they bruge players were out of the game which made it easier for gent to score that many goals.

I have the feeling that this season that Club will not be able to win the title, but we are only a couple of matches underway.

contrary, I think that Brugge will take the title, it was just a one match, where Gent had every shot-on-target in
Brugge had possession, could even be said that they were not bad on the pitch, but fast goals, and all-in from Gent made such a difference in the end

nevertheless, it is a long season, and Brugge has the best players, maybe only Antwerp could make title chase interesting, but they need time to get in shape, international break will do good for me, certainly

[jakdanyel]

Club Brugge got a very terrible result right before the national break. I guess that nobody expected them to lose to Gent with a score like 6-1. Actually, I think that Club Brugge are a much more powerful team than Gent. But somehow, they were demolished by Gent. I assume that the players want to forget about this match quickly and focus on a win in the next match to make up for it. But only one win can't make up for this of course. They need a win streak.

Club also lost points in matches against Eupen and Cercle Brugge but the season is indeed long. Club has a good team (and coach) and they did some good last minute transfers also with players such as Izquierdo.

[casperBGD]

Brugge won over Oostende, and they are now back on the top, where they will probably stay until the season end
Antwerp is playing better with each game, and they are getting up on the table as well

this round highlight was Anderlecht win over Mechelen, it was 7:2 in the end, and what is interesting is that 5 different players from Anderlecht scored on this match, with 2 from Mechelen, it is 8 players with scored goal on this match, cannot remember that something similar happened, lately or ever

[casperBGD]

Mechelen is playing home match with Liege tonight, hopefully Storm will score again tonight, and Mechelen will win the match, it is a solid value odds @2.15

regarding weekend, Brugge is playing fantastic in CL, and last week draw with Leuven is probably archived, with all eyes on derby with Anderlecht, ten years ago that would be an easy task for Anderlecht, but bearing in mind last few seasons @2.4 is a solid value for away win on Brugge
second placed Eupen is playing with Genk, a lot of problems for Eupen regarding players injured, and this could start their descend on the table, although Genk @2.05 is not that great odds

[babygun]

I agree, there is quite a lot of value on Brugge to win! Hopefully Brugge can maintain their momentum and win against their old time rival.
Mechelen won yesterday against Standard with 3-1, but Storm didn't score  .

[casperBGD]

Brugge is having their show tonight, with Kortrijk, should be an easy win

Antwerp is in series, they are winning all-round, and Waregem should not pose a threat tomorrow, @1.7 is not that value, but should be reasonable, Antwerp do not have much internationals, so they should not lose momentum, and I expect them to win, and stay on the top, probably most serious contender for the title, to Brugge
will be interesting between Gent and Eupen, later is surprisingly on the top, and holding on, even with all injuries that they have, nevertheless, odds on Gent are @1.55, which is not worth a risk, IMO

[ingiltere]

Newly promoted Union Saint-Gilloise is leading the league, how? They have eight wins in first twelve matches. I guess we can explain this as weak start from Club Brugge and Anderlecht. Genk, Gent and Standard Liège are also having an awful season.
Union Saint-Gilloise's best player is Deniz Undav, who scored nine goals already. Their most valuable player is Felipe Avenatti, he is loaned from Royal Antwerp and couldn't give much yet. It's very interesting to see such a small club in top spot after twelve weeks passed. That's certainly a big achievement. Total market value of Union Saint-Gilloise is less than Faitout Maouassa in Club Brugge or Yari Verschaeren in Anderlecht, that's funny.

[casperBGD]

Newly promoted Union Saint-Gilloise is leading the league, how?
~snip

yeah, they are on top, probably just momentum, but it is a challenge for Brugge at the moment, Brugge is probably focused on CL, to secure position 3, after great start, and that keeps their focus out from Jupiler league, but I think that they will secure the title in the end

Mechelen is playing Oostende tonight, and it is a good chance to prolong their series, after four wins, they had 2:2 with Waregem in last round, but kicked-out leader Royale in cup match, so good form is still here

[casperBGD]

it was a bit longer Christmas party for Brugge obviously, and they took a shot from local rival, 2:0 down
this makes whole league a lot more interesting, since Royale SG on the top now has 6 points more and a match less, after 21 round, which makes them a compelling candidate for the title

Royale Union is playing Gent tonight, chance to broad the gap to nine points

Yeah, I was surprised about Cercle win in Brugge city derby. I turned in game when Cercle were already leading 1:0, so I can't comment much about game.
Liege lost at home to their table neighbours Waregem. Pre game odds for Waregem were @4.50!
Roayale Union and Gent game ended without goals and Roayle still leading confident on the table. And it wasn't most exciting game, almost no dangerous moments.
One game remaining later today between Oostende and Genk.
In general, not bad Boxing Day in Jupiler league to watch, but in terms of betting it wasn't profitable at all for me .

[jakdanyel]

I'm newly starting to follow the new season of the Jupiler League now. And I'm really surprised to see a very different team leading the standings right now. I knew that the last champion team of the 1B Pro League were Royale Union SG. But I never thought that they would dominate even the primary league in Belgium also. Club Brugge are chasing them from 7 points behind now. They played against each other this season once and Club Brugge defeated them 1-0 away. We will see if they will manage to catch the leader before the end of the regular season.

happy to have missed betting on Brugge match, due to early start, but had faith in Union that they will win over Gent, and they played goalless draw, first this season

Genk was much better last night, 0:4 with Oostende, and I have Mechelen today, Storm is playing great lately, pulling his team up the table

[LGD2Business]

Anderlecht just scored their fifth goal. It's a nightmare for Beerschot VA. They are at the last place and now they are humiliated by one of the top guns in the league. I still don't understand how Union Saint-Gilloise performed this season, it must be the most impressive team performance in whole Europe. We just talk about half of the season though, it's still too many matches to be played. Club Brugge and Anderlecht will follow them until the end of the season and if Union Saint-Gilloise make any mistake they are ready to takeover.

[jakdanyel]

The first half of the regular season has ended. On the week the leader lost points, Club Brugge couldn't take advantage of it. Interestingly, they had a big difficulty against Cercle Brugge and even lost the match by 2-0. And the most profitable team of the week were definitely Anderlecht. Because they played an away match vs Beerschot and demolished them by a whopping 7-0 score. This was really huge and I think that they will continue to perform like this for some time even if the matches don't end by an absurd score all the time.

[casperBGD]

Royale Union is still on top, 7 points above Brugge, not that much, especially when account for following group that will see top4 teams, which at the moment comprise from Antwerp and Anderlecht as well
Antwerp is playing tonight in Oostende, that should be a good value @1.85

Brugge plays Liege, Anderlecht with Mechelen and leader is host to Genk

[LTU_btc]

Today there was main game of round between Brugge and Royale Union. It ended 0:0 and obviously it's positive result for Union which let them to keep 9 points lead against Brugge. Despite that we haven't saw any goals today, it wasn't bad game to watch and in the end I think that draw is most fair result for this game.
Next round Union will have Brussels derby against Anderlecht, another team which is still in fight for title.

[ingiltere]

Union Saint-Gilloise is still leading, they didn't lose against Club Brugge and kept the distance. Nine points difference is more than three games, unbelievably perfect performance by them. I wonder if they finish this fairytale with a championship trophy, I hope so. This is the greatest underdog performance in top leagues of Europe since Leicester City championship. Deniz Undav and Dante Vanzeir carry the teams attacking side, they also defend well with less than a goal conceded a game, the best in whole league in this statistics.

Was expecting lots of goals in this match,but in the end both teams had a lot to lose if they lost the match. Union SG has won an important point and this is now 8 point difference and that is huge. I think we might witness this season the biggest surprise in football this year.

It was not expected to see them in the top spots not to mention leading with nine points away plus both their defense and offense are the best in the league it was totaly deserved and i think they will win the league but unfortunatly i dont think they will cary this on next season.

There are 10 games left for this season in the Belgian top flight, Union Saint-Gilloise are 9 points away from Club Brugge which means Union Saint-Gilloise only need a win from their next 7 matches to become champions this season, it seems it is not impossible to win. Union Saint-Gilloise if they can beat Anderlecht and Antwerp in their next match.

There are 10 games left for this season in the Belgian top flight, Union Saint-Gilloise are 9 points away from Club Brugge which means Union Saint-Gilloise only need a win from their next 7 matches to become champions this season, it seems it is not impossible to win. Union Saint-Gilloise if they can beat Anderlecht and Antwerp in their next match.

Jupiler league has Championship group in the end, and they are halving points before last group, so it is far from the end for Union Saint-Gilloise
it will be interesting to see how they perform in final group, with probably Brugge, Anderlech and Antwerp, I would like to see them as champions, but it is a much longer road than what you just wrote, Brugge is not playing great, and that is main chance for Union, IMO

[casperBGD]

Jupiler league is nearing next season, probably first to start in July, due to World cup in Qatar and teams are gearing up for next season

Antwerp trashed Mechelen in friendly match 4:0, and they will probably be most relevant competition to Brugge in new season, with few incomers - Janssen coming from Monterrey, Valencia from Indepediente and Scott from Bayern second team

no notable in players, but few left league, such as Bayo to Bologna, from Charleroi and Theate to Empoli, from Oostende, and Gent is shopping from smaller clubs, Cuypers from Mechelen

I don't see any real contention in this league,it will be either Brugge or Anderlecht but most likely Brugge as they have the best team compared to many others and even if they don't play well enough as they are used to play in Champions League against much stronger teams like Real Madrid and other strong ones,they still can win their domestic league even when they play not at full power.

Of course I would like to see teams like Antwerp to be contenders and to win the league but every time I have bet on teams other than Brugge and Anderlecht in this league the majority of the times I have lost my bets.

I wouldn't say that there is no contention in this league. It's not like German or French leagues where they have one dominant team. Yeah, Brugge is slightly ahead others, but not that much. And we don't need to look for examples very far. Like last season when Union who got promoted from 2nd division where leading whole regular season and won it. Later they weren't able to keep 1st place in playoffs, but their example shows that even small team can fight for title in this league. There isn't just Brugge and Anderlecht. Genk, Antwerp and Gent is also contenders.

yeah, Antwerp is spending a lot lately to fight with Brugge, Anderlecht had few tough seasons, but last season proved that they are back in title business, and expect more from them as well
it seems that we could get try-way fight for the title next season between these three, but as you mentioned Union, there is several teams that could build on a good start, and stay in the race until the end, to join Championship group (system is that Championship group could change everything, because teams are mostly leveled-up in points before final CG phase)

And personally I don't like their competition system at all. Why they can't have same system like all other leagues? You can lead whole seaso, but just few bad games in CG phase can ruin your whole season work.
BTW, there is less than 2 weeks remaining until new season, clubs already have played plenty of friendly games.

agree, Union led whole season, but could not keep up in CG phase and ended up without title, because slashed points before CG phase
it is basically not fair to teams that play good in regular season, because you will end up with few point difference, even when you had solid advantage in regular season

yeah, teams are getting ready, and season starts in less than two weeks, will be interesting, hopefully Antwerp will have a shot for the title this season

Today we have Belgium season opener - Super Cup between Brugge and Gent. So early, in middle of July, but most leagues will start earlier because of World Cup.
Brugge is favorites, odds for their win is attractive @1.95, but such games is difficult to predict because teams aren't in optimal condition yet.

The odd was indeed quite attractive and Brugge won his first prize of the season. Chances they become the champion again is quite high again as they didn't loose any top players and they did some good incoming transfers.

Brugge won this one and season starts tonight with a match between Standard and Genk

23 July, 2022
Sporting Charleroi 3 - 1 Eupen

The march was interesting. Jerome Deom got the first yellow card in 1 minute time as the march start. Anass Zaroury scored the 1st goal by 18 minutes time. Loic Bessile scored the 2nd goal by 51 minutes time, while Kanan N'Dri scored the 1st goal for Eupen at 76 minutes. Herve Koffi got his yellow card in 90+3 minuts time of the 2nd half. Ali Gholizadeh scored the 3rd goal for Sporting Charleroi at 90+4 minutes, that was immediately after Koffi got his yellow card. And the final whistle was blown by the referee. But from the stats, Eupen possessed ball more than Sporting Charleroi.

second round starts tonight, with a game between last year second team in the league, Royal Union and current leader Charleroi

while home win is widely expected, Charleroi is good starter team, and they are usually close to top in first part of the season, so I would probably take double chance on them
Royal had great last season, but it is low level club, and I do not expect much from them this season

[casperBGD]

not much discussion about Jupiler league, and Antwerp is making a show there, with all wins this season so far
they did not put much effort into Europa Conference league, being out from Basaksehir, but have winning strike in Jupiler and playing great football, maybe this will be a season to de-throne Brugge

Brugge is on the other hand great in CL, but losing points here and there in the league, probably waiting for Championship group near the end

[casperBGD]

Genk lost against Kortrijk, and failed to increase their advantage over Royale and Club Brugge
with Antwerp in low zone, after great start, and Genk losing, will this season end-up as previous, when Royale had a lead almost till the end, but eventually in Championship Group Brugge stepped on gas and overcome them in final rounds, or Genk/Antwerp will be able to finish on top this season

I think Genk is in a far better position than most teams,I completely didn't saw the standings before putting a bet for Club Brugge to win in the cup game some days ago when they failed miserably against a team much lower in rankings.What I mean is that Genk without Anderlecht or Club Brugge out of their way in the title fight it is only them who can lose the title and by losing to teams like Kortrijk in continuity can really endanger their position at the top of the standings.

Things look good for Genk so far with 7 points difference from the closest follower.

belgian champions fc brugge have sacked coach Carl Hoefkens. the reason for the dismissal is the disappointing results in the national competitions. after 18 matchdays, defending champions brugge are only fourth in the jupiler league and twelve points behind leaders krc genk. in the cup, the team was eliminated in the round of 16 shortly before christmas. CH was promoted to head coach in the summer after three years as assistant coach and won the cl group stage behind benfica and ahead of bayer leverkusen and atletico madrid

I saw the dismissal coming of Hoefkens but he did some great things; reaching the second stage of CL group stage is a very nice achievement. Will be interesting to see who will become the new head coach and if he can turns things around. It is not too late yet as in the playoffs, the points gets halved.

[cygan]

Scott Parker is the new coach at belgium's champions club brugge. the former england international, who led fc fulham to the premier league in 2020 and afc bournemouth in 2022, succeeds Carl Hoefkens, who was sacked a few days ago. SP had been sacked at bournemouth in august after a 0-9 defeat at liverpool and criticism of the club's transfer policy.

[casperBGD]

back to Jupiler, and Mechelen won today, 3:2, with a goal and assist from Nikola Storm (he had one goal in first 19 matches this season), hopefully this will prove his value, and he will score more till the end of the season

Genk is winning big, 18 wins in 21 match so far, if they do not make it this season, not sure when they will, 19 points above Brugge at the moment

[Renampun]

in the last 5 matches, Genk has performed poorly (got 3 draws - 1 loss - 1 win), yesterday Genk vs Cercle Brugge ended in a 1-1 draw (the hosts successfully held Genk). even though they are still at the top of the standings with 68 points, if they continue to play badly then US-G, which is currently in 2nd place in the standings, has the opportunity to shift Genk.

live: antwerp vs charleroi -- temporary results charleroi winning 1-0 through a goal made by badji in the 15th minute, if you lose this match then antwerp fails to be in 2nd place (shifting US-G which is currently in 2nd place in the standings belgium pro league).

[casperBGD]

one of most interesting finishing in European football is going down today in Jupiler league
Antwerp, Genk and Royale are all in Championship fight, but also fighting for top2 positions, that are CL spots, with third having to settle with Europa league

at the moment, Antwerp on top with 46, same as Royale, with Genk on 45 points
last round, Genk is playing Antwerp at home, while Royale is host to Brugge, that is without chances to win title, Royale chances are best, since Brugge is out of form (Royale @1.6 win is a good pick, but low value), but will be all interesting from 18:30 today

Very interesting last round, not often there 3 teams still in fight for title on last matchday. Odds for Royale isn't something special, but probably worth some money, as they play Brugge who are irrelevant in this fight. Last year Union were leading league, but wasted title in Championship group, now they have great chance.
Genk - Antwerp is difficult to predict, I'll go with BTTS there.

what a round, what a finish

if someone thought that Arsenal or Dortmund are major bottlers this season, Royale (but also Genk) gave everything to ditch them
had title in the pocket until minute 89, then conceived and still were up to position 2, behind Genk at that point, but conceived one more in extra-time to lose the match and CL spot as well
in other match, Antwerp scored in 90+4 to secure a draw and take the title from Genk, who should be satisfied due to secure CL qualification spot

congrats to Antwerp on winning title, they were third after regular season, but came on top in the end

[Zackgeno96]

It would be nice to see some more big players in this league. A number of big Belgian names have reached the absolute world top, such as De Bruijne and Lukaku, but Hazard was also here. They all started in the Belgian league, but unfortunately there is not enough money to keep those players in this league. I think it mainly has to do with the sponsors present. If you want to keep or attract big players, you will have to look for bigger sponsors and not what is current. Mark van Bommel has of course done an excellent job with Antwerp this season.

It's one of craziest season ending that I saw for a while. All 3 contenders were leading table at different time of match. It's unbeleavable how Royale bottled title again, they had everything in their hands until 89th minute, but then conceded 3 goals against Brugge - team which fight for nothing in last round.
Other game where title winner was decided was exciting too. After Brugge took a lead in other game, title was in Genk hands, but Alderweireld goal on 64th minute brings first league title for Antwerp since 1956-57 season. Full stadium of specators in Antwerp was watching game of their team in large screens and I'm trying to imagine what going on in Antwerp now.

Well, not every league can be Top 5 league. Blegian league role is development of young players and veterans coming here to end their career - something similar like Eredivisie, just smaller scale.

and what a goal that was, great shot from Alderweireld, just before the final buzzer
Antwerp was a bit lucky, but they were also fighting till last minute to get this title, and they deserved it, as well as direct group placement in CL

Brugge, that was a Champion for several years in a row, will have to settle with Conference league (similar to Ajax, but Ajax will get into Europa league), unusual seasons in those two countries

In about less than 30 minutes Belgian season opener will be played - Super Cup game between Antwerp and Mechelen. Both teams aren't common to play for this trophy, but Antwerp unexpected took domestic double last season - cup and league. While Mechelen is cup runner-up.
Antwerp is significant favorite and also game will be played at their stadium - usually such games is held in neutral location.

it was intense, penalties in the end, but Antwerp secured another trophy

league starts tonight, Anderlecht is playing Royale Union, Royale was a surprise two seasons ago, but now they are title favorites from the start, and favorites against well-known Anderlecht

Brugge has a tough match against Mechelen, and Gent against Kortrijk, would probably avoid betting in first round, maybe goals tonight, over 2.5

Antwerp started game very powerful and it looked that it will be easy game for them. But their 2nd goal was cancelled after VAR review and things changed a bit in 2nd half.
Brussels derby wasn't most exciting, Anderlecht didn't managed to show anything serious today and Union justified their favorite status.

[casperBGD]

Genk started great over new team in top flight, Molenbeek, 0:4 away win, although hosts have beaten Lyon in friendly match just before this round

Antwerp is also starting solid, have advantage at home against Cercle Brugge, 1:0 at the moment, few minutes to go

Club Brugge yet to play against Mechelen, should be a home win

Watched a bit of game. Liege left with 10 men quite early when Balikwisha got second yellow card already in 1st half. It obviously didn't helped them as they were already down 0:1. They tried to equalize score, but in general, Union were better and achieved difficult win.
Sunday's games sounds good to watch, especially when big leagus still haven't started.

[Slow death]

as expected from union, they won in yesterday's game, although they had more possession of the ball, but they need to improve in some things, for example they made 24 shots but only 8 shots were on target, honestly it's something very bad, having too many shots off-target shots is not a good sign especially for a team that had the most possession of the ball and were playing against a very weak opponent, to make matters worse and that the union only managed to score only 1 goal, in 2 games that the union played only managed to score 3 goals, although they haven't conceded any goals yet, this shows that it's a team that doesn't score many goals

after losing in their first game against antwerp, cercle brugge managed to win in their second game, it was a game in which they scored 2 goals, the second goal was thanks to a penalty, their third game will be against racing genk who lost against kas eupen. and speaking of racing genk, today they lost in a game in which they had 75% possession of the ball, and surprisingly they made 28 shots that only 3 shots were on target, seriously and something difficult to understand, it looks like they took players with no talent and put to play, that number is not normal, while your opponent only made 5 shots and 2 were on target and scored a goal after 2 minutes and won the game.

I keep asking myself how racing genk fans must have been in the face of all this. today there is still the leuven game against rwdm, it is a very unpredictable game and I would not bet on it, tomorrow there is an interesting game which is anderlecht against antwerp, for me antwerp will win this game

[casperBGD]

Antwerp is chasing first away win this season against Leuven, and Jensen just scored (it was a plan to wait for half-time to decide will I put something on them, if still in goalless draw, but that is history now)
unlike usual seasons in Belgium, favorites started good this season, and top5 teams are all well known (if we count Royale Union now as well known, they fought for title last two seasons)

no special match this round, but Gent, Genk, Brugge home wins make it a good combo

[ajanwalker]

We hope U.SGilloise will achieve this this year. Even though they finished the regular season at the top last year, they missed the championship in the play-offs. There is currently a 9-point difference between them and Anderlecht, who have one match missing this season. Anderlecht easily defeated its weak rival Cercle Brugge today and the point difference between them decreased to 6.
There are not many people in the world who follow this league, but due to the intensity of the football played and the equality of the teams, it is possible to watch matches with many goals, better than the current Spanish League.
If they don't make mistakes in the play-offs, U.S.Gilloise will be my favorite in the championship this year.

Royale survived yesterday against Brugge, with a red card in last minute
but still, 9 point lead in front of Anderlecht should be solid to have first point prior to Championship group, although it will be halved in Championship, and all other teams will have their fair chance to reach the title

last season was no short of last minute drama, with Antwerp reaching the title in last seconds, it will be interesting to see will this season be different, last season Gent missed on their advantage, maybe Royale can stick to it

Saw this game yesterday. When goalkeeper got red card, they had no substitutions remaining, so, one of their players took gloves. But there wasn't much time remaining and just one free kick from Brugge which didn't even ended with shot.
9 points looks safe, but with points halved it's always tricky, I don't really like this format.
And got burned my bet on Genk - Antwerp game. Had BTTS, but Genk smashed opponents 3:0.

[ajanwalker]

My favorite in this league is U.S Gilloise. In the previous 2 years, it always finished the regular season as a leader, but lost the championship in the championship group.
This year, it is 11 points ahead of its closest follower, Anderlecht (Anderlecht has one game less).
In the match played yesterday, they were leading 3-0 against the RWDM47 team, but barely won the match 3-2 with the goal they conceded in the last minutes. There are 7 games left in the regular season and I hope they don't repeat the mistakes they made in previous years. The more points difference they have, the more comfortable they will be when entering the championship group. Because the team cannot handle the stress of the championship.
