Belgian Jupiler League Week 6 Roundup

Anderlecht vs Lokeren 3-2

---

Anderlecht

Anderlecht now are 0W-4.5L-1.5P against the asian opening line, but keep the trend going of playing a better 2nd half which made a good betting opportunity. The 1st half was even and on both sides the offense was faster than the defense. The away team lead was not undeserved. Anderlecht pushed in the 2nd half, got a lot of corners (15-2) and managed to score to take the win eventually. lots of drama about Kums and coach Weiler this week. Overall I see Anderlecht as growing with the transfer window closed and having to make a comeback. Will be keeping an eye on them live or for more 2nd half bets.

Lokeren

Lokeren did not come to Anderlecht to defend which is a good thing to know for possible overs in similar matches later in the season. Good first half with a not undeserved lead, but they got pushed back near the end of the match and eventually lost it in extra time.

---

Moeskroen vs Club Brugge 2-1

---

Moeskroen

For the first time in years the home stadium was sold out. Having lack of home support has been one of the problems for Moeskroen past season which shows in their record. This switch could be a reason for them to be underrated now at home on the betting market. They played another great match and have been getting a lot of praise. I'm still a bit sceptical and would not be surprised to see them getting into a losing stream somewhere in the season. You don't just go from being the nr1 relegation candidate to a play-off 1 contender. For now I'm not looking to oppose them pre game.

Club Brugge

Club Brugge were simply not good enough in this match. Starting the season with 5 straight wins got them overvalued as play was mediocre most of the time. While being behind in the 2nd half Club Brugge were the team who attacked but the opponents were most dangerous. Fading them in away matches might be an option following month.

---

Antwerp vs Sint-Truiden 1-1

---

Antwerp

This was a match between 2 counter teams so very underish 1st half of the match. 0-1 came against play late in the match which was a perfect live betting setup. The odds on the over had been inflated because of the boring match until the goals and Antwerp have a strong trend of late goals and goals when they are behind. I will always keep an eye out for spots like this in their matches.

Sint-Truiden

The visitors have been getting a lot of praise and are in 4th place but I see them as a bit overrated right now. The wins against AA Gent and Anderlecht were by no means a real reference and taking 4 points in the last 2 matches could have easily gone the other way. Not a bad team but they will fall back eventually.

---

Waasland vs Eupen 5-1

---

Waasland

Were arguably for the 6th time this season the better team in their matches and won deserved with a 5-1 score which should set them back in a healthy mental state after getting a bit unlucky early on in the season. Morioka has shown to be by far their most important player. It will be interesting to see a match from them if he is injured or suspended. I would not be surprised to see this team going strong for a while. Their over trend also continues and they got excellent replacements for Gano who left to Oostende.

Eupen

Poor match by Eupen who again did not look best. This team is on my potential fade list and have a lot more goals later in the match as they tend to start defensively but open up after the first goal.

---

Zulte-Waregem vs Kortrijk 2-2

---

Zulte-Waregem

Zulte-Waregem looked very vulnerable in the defense which is a very good thing for the over trend to continue as they have a lot of scoring potential. The trend continued in their Europa League match against Nice (1-5). They are a good team in the Jupiler League but fall short against better teams because their lack of experience right now and their open play. Focus probably will be a bit more on avoiding goals next couple matches but I still see them as an over team.

Kortrijk

An open encounter which is often the case against their neighbours. Good start from Kortrijk who confirmed that they are a good team despite missing some important players. It will be interesting to see what they can do against Anderlecht tomorrow specially during the 1st half.

---

AA Gent vs Racing Genk 1-1

---

AA Gent

Difficult situation for AA Gent after a poor start being eliminated from the Europa League now having matches against all the good teams (Anderlecht / Genk / Oostende). They took a strong start again in this match which is something to look out for, but the draw was in the end a fair result

Genk

Genk remains an unreliable team and best is to bet on or against them live depending on which team shows up.

---

Standard vs Charleroi 0-0

---

Standard

Standard again showed huge amounts of motivation along with the fans in this match but that still seems to be their main quality at the moment. They were the better team but not the more dangerous. The 0-0 result shows a nice picture of this match. Under trend on Standard.

Charleroi

They were pushed back but did not give away many chances and were more dangerous on the counter. Given their current standing on top of the league I see them as overrated and expect them to get into a bad streak at some point. If they win most of the time it's close by a 1 goal margin.

---

Mechelen vs Oostende 1-1

---

Mechelen

Mechelen again showed great spirit making a late comeback after getting a red card. I still see them as just not good enough to really make anything happen this year in the league.

Oostende

Finally managed to take their first point. They should have enough quality to be a playoff 1 team I and would not be surprised to see them get into a good streak at one point. For now all bets are off on them pre game.
