Belgian Jupiler league 23/24 - discussion

[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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
