Beerschot VA vs Leuven Prediction & Betting tips
After 28 match days we know the two period winners who compete against each other in the final: Leuven and Beerschot. On paper, Oud-Heverlee Leuven is said to be the most justified doctoral student in the first class, since they are above Beerschot in the general classification. That doesn’t really matter anymore in these final matches, because whoever wins over these two matches, will be promoted!
Beerschot:
Who would have thought after the first period that Beerschot would be in the final? Not many people, but continued to have faith was the message. The first period, Beerschot had to be satisfied with a fifth place, something that both the fans and the players did not expect. After all, they went for promotion for the third time in a row. However, the resilience of this group turned out to be enormous, as they have put down a great series in recent weeks. The last loss already dates from December 20, then the Kiel Rats grabbed a handsome 15 out of 21.
Last week against Lokeren, Beerschot did not have the most difficult or toughest game of the season, but nevertheless finished it nicely with a 0-2 win. For the Rats, the away games during the season were not always easy. It was mainly at home that the boys from Hernan Losada excelled. On the move, his team made only twelve goals and achieved fifteen points in thirteen games. With this they are in a poor fifth place in terms of the away matches classification, but due to their performance in their own stadium, they more than made up for it. After all, it won 28 points at home in 14 games, more than any other team.
Whether Beerschot is ready for the final? You would think so, after being in the finals two years in a row. The mental pressure that comes with this should certainly not be underestimated. You can view it as an experience, but I think it has rather negative consequences in the minds of the players. Losada will have to try not to make the players think of this, and go full for this final. If they play football like the last few weeks, they simply have to win that victory at home.
Leuven:
After the first period, Leuven seemed to be the perfect candidate for the 2019-2020 season in the Proximus League. OHL played very good football and managed to win back the hearts of the fans with their game and their results. However, that turned out slightly differently in the second period, in which it was difficult to end up in fifth place. Seventeen points from fourteen games is not exactly good, let alone the fact that they received 30 goals.
The results were even slightly dramatic in recent weeks. 4-1 against Virton, 3-5 against Union Saint-Gilloise, 2-1 against co-finalist Beerschot … On Sunday, it is exactly one month ago that OHL could win another match. How they deal with that, remains to be seen. Fact is the favorite role has become a kind of boxing ball between the two trainers. Objectively speaking, Beerschot currently has a better chance, but in a final match everything is possible, Vincent Euvrard knows that too. ‘Beerschot has won the second period and that naturally also means something. Moreover, it is a final and everyone competes with equal weapons. Such competitions are always on the cutting edge and in recent years it has always been a struggle until the final minute with invariably changing situations’.
