Belgian Jupiler league 23/24 - discussion

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.

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 are the best team on home games in the league (6W 4D). I think Anderlecht will beat them here.

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.

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.

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.

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

Antwerp are the 3rd with 40 points and Waasland-Beveren are the last with 21 points. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Antwerp won 4 times and Beveren won only once. Mbokani (8 goals) at Antwerp and Koita (7 goals) at Beveren will not play. I'm expecting Antwerp to beat them.

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

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.
