Gent vs Beerschot VA Prediction & Betting tips
Gent is in a bit of a rut, after losing three games in a row (including Champions League qualification). Beerschot, on the other hand, sits on wings and is very close to the top of the competition. Can they keep the gap with Charleroi small after a difficult match at Gent?
Gent:
Ghent cannot really speak of a successful season so far. After only six points from seven games, it is in a pitiful fifteenth place. For a top team like Gent, this is particularly sub-par, but you might wonder to what extent the players can do this. The board has been messing around with trainers in such a way that they no longer know how to keep up with themselves and have no idea how to play.
Jess Thorup’s first dismissal was actually completely unjustified. After having achieved wonderful things with Ghent, he is just like that without mercy on the door after two lost games. Replacement Bölöni did not fit the club at all, and after a few weeks he was also sold. The players of Ghent have already had to use two completely different systems with Thorup and Bölöni, and now they have to reinvent themselves again. No wonder the boys underperform, both as a team and individually.
Beerschot:
You might start to think that this team has a chance of winning the championship. Okay, there are more stable teams like Charleroi and Club Brugge, with more breadth and depth in their core than Beerschot, but what the Mannekes are showing this season reminds me of a champions team. Not only in terms of game, but also in terms of commitment, resilience and not unimportantly: luck!
Everything was in the victory against Waasland-Beveren. Nice goals, crucial substitute, excellent Holzhauser (who else?), Many chances, a comeback … Even a rejected and a valid goal in the last minutes of the game, so that the three points could stay at home. As a PhD candidate, Beerschot achieves incredible things, and that may be said.
If you play good football, have good players, a bank that can make the difference and have a solid supporter core behind you, then you can actually say that this is a champions team. The substitute who made the difference in this game, Loris Brogno, was satisfied after the game: ‘It feels good to still take the three points after a 0-2 deficit. Of course I am happy that as a substitute I can contribute with an assist and a goal, but this is above all a victory for the collective. And of course the audience also plays a role. We are happy that they are behind us again. ‘
