Beerschot VA vs Lokeren Prediction & Betting tips
After a lot of commotion about the ‘clean hands’ case, we are starting again in the Proximus League with Beerschot-Wilrijk, or is it now Beerschot, or … Who can still figure it out? Anyway, the number thirteen is back from them! The competition starts immediately with a big hit: the vice-champion of last year in the Belgian second class against the relegant of the first class. Lokeren also had a little hope for an extended stay in 1A, but BAS decided otherwise. After a disappointing season in which they ended hopelessly last, they dropped to second class.
Beerschot:
Although Beerschot has done everything to be allowed to start in the Jupiler Pro League, it must now play in the Proximus League. It was without a doubt the second best team in the league last year. There was also hope for promotion, but the Kiel Rats could not live up to it (again) in the final. Stijn Vreven and his men did not sit still at all during the entire soap and well-being games about the ‘clean hands’ case.
In the preparation, Beerschot never lost a single time, only played a draw once and collected only one goal (not least from the penalty spot) in ten matches. These are remarkable results. The opponents were certainly not always the least, think of AZ Alkmaar which always ends quite high in the Eredivisie or Panathinaikos, established value in the Greek first class. If Vreven can continue this line in the first period, then there is a bright future ahead of the fans of Beerschot (-wilrijk?).
Lokeren:
Lokeren disappointed his followers last season. It was absolutely unconvincing with just five wins in thirty games. On average, it didn’t even score one goal per match. Yet this does not scare the supporters for the coming season in second class. The club managed to attract more than 3500 subscribers and therefore has the largest number compared to the other Proximus League teams.
Glen De Boeck did not do badly in his preparation with the tricolores either. They also didn’t lose a single match, but played a draw three times and collected a lot more goals. Offensive it seems to be good with players like Anel Hajric, Dylan Mbayo and Tarik Tissoudali. The question is how motivated the players are to start in the second class. Perhaps the many supporters can help with this, it will be necessary against teams with the caliber of Beerschot, Union Saint-Gilloise et cetera.
