A weekly recap with all the latest on team news, player form, injuries, betting angles, ... Extra Time resised.jpg

AA Gent vs Eupen 3-0

AA Gent

I'm still not sold on AA Gent despite the 3-0 win against Eupen who can hardly be seen as a reference getting 32 goals against in the first 12 matches. Gent never really had problems to dominate this season, scoring that was the problem. This match saw an early goal in the 3th minute for them and 2 penalties so I'm not taking it as a sign that their problem is fixed. Primary betting options for me are still Under and Fade. The line on the under for tonight's match against Charleroi is set quite accurately at 2.25. If AA Gent get behind early I might take a stab at the live under.

Eupen

I'm still looking for them to start defensively and open up later in the match after 20th minutes late 1H goals seem to be a thing lately. Fading them is they get dominated and betting crazy high scores are also betting options.

KV Mechelen vs Lokeren 0-2

KV Mechelen

Mechelen are still without a new coach. They did not deserve to lose this match given the amount of chances they missed in the 2nd half where they dominated Lokeren. Overall quality seems to be the main problem for Mechelen. I'm not backing them until they change things around. They dominate the corners market again going 14-4 in this match which is something I will look out for live if odds are offered.

Lokeren

Lokeren won this match thanks to Goalkeeper Verhulst. They played a good 1st half and a poor 2nd half which seems to have become a pattern. Benchaib again showed to be an enforcement, but overall this team does not impress me. They lack real scoring power and I'll be looking to fade them specially in the 2nd half or right when the take the lead and go for unders.

Oostende vs Charleroi 3-0

Oostende

Oostende seems to have found much better defensive form and broke their bad streak by winning against Charleroi. They are off my waiting list and into the 'ride the potential winning streak list. Some issues with Berrier who will mainly be missed against the top teams

Charleroi

Charleroi seems to have hit their downtrend. They both have a more difficult time to score and keep a clean sheet. I expect them to count of their success formula of crawling back and build a wall to come out on the counter. Potential under when they score the 1st goal

Genk vs Club Brugge 2-0

Genk

Very solid 1sy half from Racing Genk. They are now on my list of teams to back, but the lucky win against Anderlecht and great 1st half against Club Brugge seems to have gotten them maybe a bit overrated right now. Early prices at european bookmakers looked backable at 1.91 but the asian stepped in and put them quarter ball lower -0.75 @ 1.91 away against Kortrijk and I'm not really willing to go that far. I will look to bet them live if they reach their best level

Club Brugge

Poor 1st half and much better 2nd half from this team. I still like them and will in a similar way to Genk wait and see if they reach their best level live. Main concern is goalkeeper horvath. Overs and no clean sheets are also options

Anderlecht vs Zulte-Waregem 2-0

Anderlecht

Anderlecht were the better team against Zulte-Waregem who mainly defended in this match. I will be looking to bet them live when they dominate and keep my eye on overs.

Zulte-Waregem

Very bad stream from Zulte-Waregem who are far away from the potential they showed at the start of the season. They have been getting plenty of goals against lately and Dury went against their style pretty defensive which almost paid off as they missed a penalty for 0-1. In the end they deserved the 2-0 loss This is a wait and see what style they bring team right now with potentials for overs

Waasland vs Kortrijk 2-1

Waasland

I'm still sticking to Waasland being slight undervalued and will be looking to bet them at high odds when they are the underdog and look for 2nd half overs

Kortrijk

Kortrijk will be getting a new coach soon, which might bring a potential shock effect. Good start of the season and a big drop back afterwards. For now I'm still looking to oppose them

Antwerp vs Standard 0-0

Antwerp

Antwerp has played a lot more overish home matches specially in the first half lately, but this was not the case against Standard who should have gotten a penalty in the first minutes. Antwerp striker Oulare got yet another injury and will be out for a while. I still like the betting angle to bet over in case they are behind especially late in the match

Standard

Standard still has to convince me. Edmilson showed excellent form which is always a huge factor when talking about an offensive minded player. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a matter of time before standard start losing form again with a coach change as results

Sint-truiden vs Moeskroen 1-0

Stvv

The home team now won 7 matches this season all with 1 goal difference. They clearly deserved the win against a poor Moeskroen. Stvv now in 2nd place which will be impossible for them to hold. I'm still expecting them to fall back when these late winning goals stop

Moeskroen
