Club Brugge KV vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
Sunday afternoon we get the first game in Super Sunday with Club Brugge – KAA Gent. After Gent managed to insure last week for the final of the cup in Belgium, the confidence is very good. Club Brugge exchanges the good and less good results but managed to reduce the difference last week to seven points with leader KRC Genk. Can they keep the points at home in the derby of Flanders?
Club Brugge:
With seven more races to go in regular competition, a difference of seven points is not impossible to overcome, but of course it is simply the intention to get as close as possible to Genk before we would enter the Play-Offs. Last week, it was able to finish the assignment in a positive way after Genk surprisingly lost to Moeskroen and Club last week to check Ostend …
Ostend fueled confidence in the cup match against AA Gent and that was evident in the initial phase. KVO immediately attacked and already forced a free kick in the opening minute, which Jordi Vanlerberghe struck against the ropes by the wall: 1-0, dream start for the home team. Club Brugge, which after the defeat against Charleroi was keen on a good result, tried immediately to put things in order. The offensive 3-5-2 line-up of Leko produced a lot of chances, but in the finish it always went wrong at Club. Schrijvers and Denswil saw an attempt on the line, Wesley had an excellent opportunity. After half an hour the Bruges storm went down and KVO was allowed to gasp for a moment. The home team could hardly cause any danger itself. A free kick by De Bock ended in the hands of Horvath. Five minutes before the break Club pushed the accelerator. Vanaken had the best chance at the foot, but the shot of the Golden Shoe ended up against the post via the fingertips of Dutoit. After the break, the deserved equalizer fell for Club. After a penalty penalty from Nouri on Schrijvers, Hans Vanaken remained cold-blooded from the spot: 1-1. Club did not make peace with a tip and continued to steam. After half-chances, the ball went back to the spot halfway through the second half after De Bock’s hand-playing in his own sixteen meters. This time it was Wesley who was allowed to kick, and he also gave Dutoit the check. After 1-2, the pace at Club stopped, not immediately looking for a reassuring third goal. Ostend continued to believe in his chances and was close to the tying goal twenty minutes before the end. A nice deep ball from Vandendriessche ended on the head of Sakala, who narrowly headed. Also in the final phase there was some pressure from the home team, thanks to the invaders. Zivkovic and Coopman could have given Club a cold shower, but they left the chances. At the very end, Nakamba was still ruled out with a second yellow, but Club’s win was no longer in danger.
Ivan Leko was a satisfied man afterwards: “This is a super important, but also a well deserved win.After a difficult start we were absolutely dominant, with lots of opportunities and good football.I am very satisfied, especially after that defeat of last week In the last ten minutes there was some stress with us, but the chances remained for us, it actually had to be 1-4 or 1-5, but 1-2 is also enough, that Wesley took the second penalty. , was not the intention, because Vanaken is first on the list, but okay, I’m glad he could score again after three months. ”
KAA Gent:
KAA Gent is still in full swing in two areas. In the league it is in a sixth place which gives right to Play-Off I. But now that it also managed to qualify for the final in the cup of Belgium, it can also achieve European football through that road. In other words, the atmosphere and trust are good at Ghent. Thorup can look back with satisfaction on his performance so far, although he is of course still nowhere. First of all, Ghent wants and has to play Play-Off I and it is best not to lose at rival Club Brugge.
In competition it managed to win 1-2 on the Kortrijk field last week. For the first time since 21 October, KAA Gent was able to pick up another three points outdoors. Important points, because Ghent is once again in the top six. KVK earned more, but was not rewarded. It was a big win for the Buffalo’s but that will not harm them. In the cup, Ghent has won its favorite role for a place in the cup final after a particularly exciting cup match. Ghent reached a 2-0 deficit in the absolute final phase and finished it in the penalty series. KVO trainer Gert Verheyen had said beforehand that his players should rise above themselves. His team did half of that. KVO probably played its best 45 minutes of the season. Besides a big chance for Bezoes, all the home team threat came true, where De Sutter and Vanlerberghe excelled. De Sutter scored, then fell out, but substitute Sakala made the 2-0 after 39 seconds on the field. KVO was deserved to take a lead and it could have been (must?) More, because Zikovic had chances to make it 3-0. In the second half there was only Dutoit who went beyond himself. Ghent put everything to everything. Trainer Thorup threw Tsjakvetadze, David and DompĂ© into the fight. Ghent also earned a tie, but Dutoit drove the visitors to despair by saving chances. KVO defended success and had the chance to decide the match after Bronn’s misses. Sakala did everything well, but pushed all for Kaminski close by. All those KVO misses turned out to be crucial. Sorloth, he again, kept trying hard and in the 85 minute he finally had success with a dry bang past Dutoit. KVO was under pressure and with bad luck. Dutoit had no chance of a rebound by Bezoes: 2-2. In the penalty series Dutoit again stopped two penalties, but the level of Oostende dropped further in the penalties series. Three missed, very bad penalties caused the defeat.
Afterwards, Vadis looked back with great satisfaction: “We are delighted that we are still able to bring this match to a good end.” It looked bad for a long time, you saw that in the second half there was more faith in the team after the pep talk during The rest, luckily we were on time, and there was not enough football in the extensions, but the penalties are the end: I think we have shown more quality about the two matches, but they are details KVO really did his best, the finals are there now, but now they still have to be won The final miss would have been an absolute downer Now we are going to the match of Sunday against Club. I think we lost that match already. ”
