Charleroi vs Beerschot Wilrijk Prediction & Betting tips
After Sint-Truiden’s draw, both Charleroi and Beerschot Wilrijk may have something else possible. For that it will have to take the three points. Charleroi has the advantage that it can play in front of its own audience, although there will not be too many fans as the interest in play-off II is huge. Which team is showing something of themselves here and is taking part in the battle for the leader’s place?
Sporting Charleroi:
It seemed as if Charleroi missed Play-off II after missing Play-Off I. With a zero in six it was in last place and the interest was apparently gone. But with a six out of six afterwards, it can now come in second in the group, if there is a win. It can go fast in football, that much is clear. It also managed to keep the lead twice in succession, that had not been successful this season (!) Felice Mazzu now wants to fight for that leader at all costs, along with Sint-Truiden. Last week the Westerlo visited.
Mazzu was forced to make three changes compared to the team that won at Eupen. Morioka and Nurio did not get fit in time and Ilaimaharitra was absent due to a death in his family. At Westerlo, Gboho, Buyl and Janssens acquired their first base place in PO II. For Dessoleil, the match lasted just one minute. The central defender was deported after a hard tackle by De Waele with a calf injury. From the fortieth minute, Westerlo had to continue with ten after a second yellow card for Buyl, who tried to decorate a penalty kick with a joke. Stupid if you’ve been yellowed before. Until then, the visitors were well in the game with sharp outbreaks, although Van Langendonck was the most tested. Especially by Osimhen. To exploit the numerical majority and to keep the field wide, Mazzu switched to a 4-2-4 after the break with Bruno and Henen on the flanks. A field occupation with which Anderlecht created a furore half a century ago. The first large, double goal chance, however, was for Westerlo. Abrahams compared them. After that it was mainly the crushing roller. They did that until Niane played destructive. Osimhen took away the doubts in the end with a deviated ball.
Mazzu was satisfied after the game. Logical too, it was from December 14 (!) That Charleroi could win again in front of his own audience: “This victory is a great pleasure. I am very satisfied, especially for the fans who always make the move here to support us and have already had to wait five months for another home win. Hopefully we can arrange another three points next week. ”
Beerschot-Wilrijk:
At Beerschot, it is mainly about enjoying and competing with the teams from First Class A. Missing the promotion keeps on finding itself out and you also notice that there is hardly any interest in play-off II. Logical too, because it is rather a gift for them. Nevertheless, it still tries to spoil the public with as many points as possible. Last week it already won the very first win and that tastes like more. Eupen was the opponent of service.
Eupen had some sneaky hopes in advance to win the group, but then they actually had to take three points on the field of Beerschot. The home team then again missed ten (!) Injured. Promise Quinten Simons was even dropped from scratch into the base as a left back. Four other young people from the B-core populated the bank. In the given circumstances, it was not surprising that Eupen showed the most initiative in the initial phase. That initially led to a bit of a threat, but also to a dot of opportunity in fifteen minutes. After a deviated shot from Ocansey hit the crossbar, Toyokawa had the ball to push inside. The Japanese, however, still managed to kick the ball against Beerschotkeeper Vanhamel: a whore of a miss. Just before half an hour the goal fell across the street. Bugridze reached Dante Vanzeir after a handsome dribble and he finished in a controlled manner. For the striker rented from Racing Genk it was – across all competitions – all his seventeenth goal of the season. In the course of the first half, Eupen stuck a few more times at the window, but the real sharpness in the zone of truth was missing. For example, the Panda’s went to rest with 66 percent of the ball, but trailing 1-0. Anyone who thought that Eupen would put things right after the break against the “disabled” Beerschot was disappointed. Claude Makélélé’s team continued to claim the ball, but lacked conviction. Even better: Beerschot even managed to make it 2-0. Barely two minutes after promising Brian De Keersmaecker came in, he kicked a Vanzeir cross against the ropes. A dream debut is something like that. The Keersmaecker was actually moved to tears. After De Keersmaecker’s glory moment, the party rippled to the end. And when Eupen stung yet again, Mike Vanhamel always seemed attentive. That is how it remained 2-0: a boost for a battered Beerschot. Eupen now even sees the people of Antwerp jump over him in the rankings and can gradually put group profit out of mind.
The most attention after the first win in Play-Off 2 went to 18-year-old debutant Brian De Keersmaecker, who barely hit Beerschot’s second goal barely a few minutes after his raid. “Really incredible” was Brian’s first reaction after the game. “I think this is the dream of every young football player. I don’t even know how long I barely stood on the field before that ball entered. Simply indescribable. It is not penetrating well. At the time of scoring, I really didn’t know what to do. Unbelievable. You see that ball fly in and then everything goes through your head. I didn’t stay with my emotions. ”
