Anderlecht vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
Play-off 1 is closed on Sunday evening with a stopper in the Astrid Park. Leader Anderlecht get there at 18h Ghent. Can a team remain undefeated? Who continues on its positive cloud?
Anderlecht :
Anderlecht they stay on track to achieve their goal this year. The cloud where they are flying on still further. They took the lead after about thirty rounds and this place seem not to want to relinquish. They opened strong to win on displacement Zulte Waregem home unbeaten until last weekend.
Anderlecht won last weekend when poor defending Zulte Waregem. It was in the first half of the win up for grabs after the break was sweating. The home side seemed only to wake up in the second half, Anderlecht came promptly in trouble. Not convinced yet score points: if they do it all season.
Anderlecht will depend a lot on talent Youri Tielemans. He was impressive during the competition, but he started the playoffs even with an assist and a goal. Nice to add to his list. Tielemans has begun its fourth playoffs and is on track to double its statistics of the regular season again. Along with Sofiane Hanni and Lukasz Teodorczyk he forms a deadly efficient triangle. Together they account for two thirds of the production goal for this season.
Gent :
In Gent, the ambition is still third. And what was their ambition during their championship year? Right. And at this point they are already after one round in playoff 1. The gap with the second narrows to two points. The club will still express no higher ambitions.
Gent could win his first match against rival Club Brugge. Beautiful football we did not get to see one of the hardest matches of the season. It was a war of attrition that must have the power. We got to see everything: goals, yellow cards, red card, injuries. Ghent was also happy to count on his winter purchase the target. Lovre Kalinic was decisive three times with excellent saves.
Gent fog certainly William Troost-Ekong. He picked up this weekend by a red card twice to yellow took in three minutes. Neto also captain is unavailable through injury. For the rest the injury bench will always deflate further. Besides the defenders were the flank attackers heeled. Moses Simon and Kalu caring for goals and assists.
