These are previews from matches involving Belgian Teams with all the latest on team news, player form, and injuries along with my personal betting angles, ...
We are in the final week of the season and there still is a lot to play for on multiple sides while at the same time there are many teams potentially already in vacation mode. 3 Playoff 2 matches today all played at the same time...
Genk vs Antwerp
Genk last weekend played a 0-0 match against Standard where both defenses were better compared to the offense. They missed Heymans and Karetsas while Sternberg also got injured during the match. All 3 of them will also be out today. Winning playoff 2 for them is a must which means they pretty much need to get the win today against Antwerp who have nothing left to play for and are in a bad streak. They fired their coach and already look forward to next season giving younghsters a chance while leaving many key players out who are end of contract (Praet, Kerk, Janssen, Vandenbosch) which creates a match where the difference should be too big. I do expect Genk as the team who takes the initiative at home and took 0.2 units on Genk 1st Half -0.25 @ 1.764 along with 0.1 unit on Genk 1st Half -0.75 Corners @ 1.910, 0.057 units on Genk 1H -0.5 corners @ 1.751, 0.06 units on Genk Team Total Over 1.75 @ 1.840 & 0.04 units on Genk Team total Over 2.5 @ 2.980
Westerlo vs Standard
These are 2 teams that are still very much in contention to win playoff 2. Westerlo took a boring 0-1 win against Charleroi where only at the end both teams were really willing to take risks which created the late counter goal. Standard remains a team who are better in defense compared to the offense and they are not taking any risks unless they are behind which often resulted in hold-up wins getting them in the current favorable position. I don't expect much else than Westerlo taking the initiative and pushing Standard back at the start of the match with the danger that Standard might strike on the counters. I took 0.2 units on 1st Half under 1.25 @ 1.824 & 0.1 units on 1st Half Under 1 @ 2.380, along wth 0.2 units on Westerlo 1st Half -1 Corners @ 2.039. Antwerp at home against Standard depite the 0-3 halftime score really pushed them back and created 6 corners in the 1st half. I see Westerlo as a more capable team. I will keep chasing Bayram to score if he starts in the team.
Charleroi vs OH Leuven
Charleroi last week was kocked out in the race to win playoff 2 which might create a situation of decompression lettin things hang a bit. It is however their last home match and they play against OHL who also don't really have anything left to play for. OHL managed to take their first win in playoff 2 last week with a 3-0 home victory over Antwerp in a match where Antwerp mostly had the initiative without creating too much. In the last away match from OHL there were only 17 fanse who made the trip so there should be a real home advantage in this match. My only option though is to back OHL as the underdog since they changed the momentum while Charleroi got the final blow last week. I took just 0.08 units each on OHL +0.75 @ 1.979 / OHL 1st Half +0.25 @ 2.060 / OHL Teal Total Over 1 @ 1.830. This might become one of those playoff 2 matches with nothing to play for that turn into a goal fest. I'm nowhere confident enough though to act on it also because the line is adjusted to Over 3
