Belgian Jupiler League Week 24 Preview

Mechelen vs Moeskroen

Mechelen continue their bad streak and are now in last place after losing against Stvv. I was ready to oppose them in this match, but coach Jankovic was fired and the Shock-effect might be a big factor in this match as Moeskroen are also not a great team. This is one of those matches where the idea that you are not forced to bet anything comes into play. The angle I will keep my eye on live is a Kv Mechelen collapse in case they get or are behind late in the match. This often happens in a scenario like this one with a struggling team in the bottom region.

Charleroi vs Antwerp

This match screams out under as both shine when it comes down to breaking down opponents. Odds are set accoringly, but I could not resist betting a tiny bit on the Under 2.25 @ 1.90. Antwerp are the best away team in the league against the asian line (8W-1L-2P) but they are not on my list of underrated teams and Charleroi have a good home record.

Kortrijk vs Eupen

Both teams are in an uptrend and have scoring strikers which is highly important for smaller teams. Eupen got some extra quality during the winter break with striker Koné and Kortrijk have the duo Chevalier / Perbet. Eupen also seems to have switched back to a more free playing offenisve play style which is paying off last couple matches. I have my eye on the over, but poor pitch quality is a concern. I did take some Over 2.75 @ 2.05allready. I'm leaning towards Eupen but will wait to see what the match brings live.

Waasland vs Zulte-Waregem

Both theams who are in good form playing offensively and looking up in the standings. I would not be surprised to see this match play out as an open match with a lot of chances and goals. Took some on the Over 3.5 @ 2.85. My plan in December was to ride Zulte-Waregem after the winter break which was exactly what I did as the setups were good away vs Mechelen and at home against Standard. Waasland are also a team I'm willing to back right now so these bets cancel each other out..

Genk vs Sint-Truiden

This is a big derby match where Genk traditionally wins at home. I am not taking anything pre-game in this match yet, but will keep a very close eye on the home team live. They have some missings in the offense which worries me a bit.

AA Gent vs Club Brugge

Club Brugge are able to play exceptional which they showed at the start against Oostende. Odds have allready dropped some and I will keeping my eye live on Club Brugge having one of their total domination moments. AA Gent are playing good lately and have a good home record. This will be a very big test though. I'm liking the away side despite the odds drop but am staying away for now. The over/under line is set on the 1.73 average goals in AA Gent home matches. The first goal will very likely be the most difficult one, once it's scored things should open up a lot no matter who scored the goal.

Standard vs Anderlecht

Anderlecht traditionally has a very difficult time against Standard. Both teams haven't really convinced after the winter break and the odds are set quite sharp. This is one of those matches where I go in without any angles and any bet is possible depening on how the match plays out.

Oostende vs Lokeren

I like Oostende in this match, they were outplayed at the start against Club Brugge but were actually the better team in the 2nd half. Lokeren are not a good team and have a scoring issue. I had the Team Total under in my mind but odds are totally adjusted and impossible to bet (U 1 @ 1.62). I want to bet Oostende Live and am still hoping for the setup where Lokeren take the lead to oppose them Live.
