Charleroi vs Waasland-Beveren Prediction & Betting tips
Sporting Charleroi is working on a very nice series. This Saturday they will receive the penultimate in the stand, namely Waasland-Beveren. Will the Carolos manage to put down another three points and perhaps to advance to the very surprising second place in the rankings? Or can Waasland-Beveren achieve the much-needed points it needs in the battle for relegation?
Sporting Charleroi:
Karim Belhocine is doing great with Charleroi. After fifteen games, or the first round in the regular competition, the total score is actually twenty-eight points. That is only eight less than league leader Club Brugge that seems unapproachable this year. With their catch-up game winning, it would actually come in second place. Downside is that the catching-up game is just against Club. Last week it already moved to Limburg, where Sint-Truiden gave a party.
Charleroi soon showed that it had more quality in its ranks than STVV, but the prevalence was just a bit too limited for the break. Although Sint-Truiden in particular was pleased that it was still 0-0 after forty-five minutes. Morioka had already put a shot to the post, with a magisterial flame Ilaimaharitra almost broke the bar. Charleroi had found the kettle with grinta in the dressing room, because the visitors grabbed the home team by the throat from the start. The first fifteen minutes of the second half were sparkling with a flood of opportunities. Between the misses of Rezaei and Bruno, Charleroi was able to score twice. Gholizadeh outwit the Truien goalkeeper with a deviated shot in the short corner, Morioka served Rezaei the 0-2 on a tray on the hour. Charleroi was able to add the three points, but the 1-2 fell out of the sky twenty minutes before time. Literally and figuratively: goalkeeper Penneteau misjudged a pass, Botaka gratefully unwrapped the gift. STVV did not rush forward wildly after that goal, but the final offensive nevertheless caused fear of sweat among the visitors. They took away the last doubts in the final phase: Rezaei was the cool frog for a counterattack. 1-3, a logical and correct result that Charleroi places more firmly in the top six. STVV has to take more and more into account what happens in the tail of the pack.
According to their coach Belhocine, no different than praise for the players of Charleroi: “We work very hard every week. This group wants to get the maximum. They work hard when things get tough and we show a lot of offensive qualities. That we are so strong My group is looking forward to every match. They deserve it. ”
Waasland-Beveren:
Now that things are going better for Waasland-Beveren, that is also the case for their direct competitor for the relegation Cercle Brugge. Both teams are starting to grab their much needed points, which makes the battle for conservation incredibly exciting and new competitors replace them. After sixteen matches, W-B only managed to collect eleven points so far. Last weekend it played a six-point competition against, yes, Cercle Brugge.
The importance of this match could not be underestimated for both teams. Cercle red lantern absolutely wanted to avoid that the gap with Waasland-Beveren became six points, but it was the home team that started the game best. After only ten minutes Koita was close to 1-0, his shot went just wide. It was a strong warning for Cercle and just two minutes later, Waasland-Beveren was hit. Sula was sent into the box with a long ball and he caught sight of Hubert with his keeper. At Cercle, the pressure seemed to be paralyzing. The visitors piled up the sloppiness and hardly appeared in the game. After a dramatic play-back by Ueda, Hubert could barely prevent Sula from scoring a second time. Shortly before half-time Cercle was dangerous, but Jackers had a great save on a shot from Peeters. With the knife on his throat, Cercle started the second half fiercely. Peeters put the ball back to Saadi, but he aimed Jackers in one go. The response from Waasland-Beveren did not take long. Koita persevered well, but aimed just like in the first half. Still, Cercle continued to hunt the equalizer and at the hour the visitors also caught it. With a great goal, Biancone Cercle gave new life. From the age of sixteen he painted the ball in the intersection. Cercle tried to keep up the pace, but soon the sand came back into the machine. As the end came in sight, both teams seemed to take more and more peace with scoring. In the end it became that too and both teams don’t get along well.
Coach Mercier thought the result was justified: “Each team has taken half a share. A draw is therefore a logical result. We started the match well, but Cercle has shown that they have a lot of quality. I am even surprised that “They are the last ones. In the second half, we have lost too many important duels. After the break, we lacked the intensity that we normally have in home games.”
