Both in Ghent and Brussels will be back on the first half of the season with mixed feelings. Both teams, however, keep leading Zulte Waregem in sight.
Gent: 1 Play-Offs at risk
After the first twenty matches Ghent can also take stock. A sixth place, five points behind the leader, there is no man overboard. Hein Vanhaezebrouck knew to survive with his team in Europe for the second season in a row, all that happened this year in the Europa League. However, the next game is very important, since new point loss can ensure that they fall out of the top six.
Last weekend Ghent bit his piece on the intense and aggressive Sint Truiden. Where STVV had the points required hard to distance themselves from the relegation line, they did everything possible to make it difficult Ghent. That worked by often to get in game and lie in wait for the counter. Pieter Gerkens was met by two goals to pass the verdict, which Ghent lost 3-1.
Trainer Vanhaezebrouck then took place at the Stadium TV program. In this broadcast he said among other things that his team has too few champions and that they therefore can not become a champion. The coach believes that the scouting work there has been insufficient. He will have to do with it, though Vanhaezebrouck’d sees at least two new players.

Anderlecht: getting in better shape
Brussels scrambles powerhouse Anderlecht slowly on. The last four matches yielded ten points and goal difference was more positive than in those matches (fourteen matches, a goal against). The first half of the season was particularly hit, while in Europe in a proper manner managed to survive, so after the winter they are also active in the knockout phase of the Europa League.
Against tiny Eupen Anderlecht had little trouble last weekend. The Eupen Spikes came with good intentions to Brussels, only showed too much respect for the club. As an errant Eupen goalkeeper Niasse Babacar Mbaye joined. At least two hits the goalkeeper did not look good, so he helped the purple and white in the saddle.
So it seems that coach Rene Weiler his team still has more on the ride. Defensively, it is getting better, where previously there sometimes lacked. With a view to the championship Anderlecht has done in recent weeks, good business. After two seasons, the club will once again leading the way to end the season to play a year later Champions League.
