Gent vs KV Mechelen Prediction & Betting tips
With Ghent opposite KV Mechelen, a re-issue of the cup final is on the program. Can the Buffalo take revenge? It is not going to be easy because both teams started the competition well.
Ghent:
A few years ago AA Gent left the Jules Otten Stadium for the Ghelamco Arena. Sportingly, the new stadium had a lot of successes, but the financial situation looks a lot less rosy. In the long term, substantial profits will be made, which will compensate for the current loss. It is currently unclear whether those costs would be borne by the city, AA Ghent or Ghelamco.
Jonathan David started the new season with six goals and four assists in eleven games. Also in Canada it runs like a train for the attacker. After becoming top scorer in the Gold Cup last summer, Jonathan David returned to North America this week. In the international match against Cuba, he was again good for a great goal. The Canadian who was born in Brooklyn now has ten goals in eight international matches.
KAA Ghent has consumed its European midweek well just before the international break. It simply rolled up a mak Cercle Brugge and forgot the score further from the deep. Stef Peeters wiped out Laurent Depoitre’s 1-0, but David gave Ghent the three points to which he was entitled with two hits. Peeters’ 3-2 came too late. The Buffalos are approaching to two points from leader Standard, but still have a match credit.
KV Mechelen:
A while ago, T2 Fred Vanderbiest decided to trade in KV Mechelen for RWDM in Brussels. This week Malinwa was able to propose a replacement. The club has just announced that Bart Janssens will be Wouter Vrancken’s new assistant coach. KV Mechelen was not the most active club on the transfer market, yet trainer Wouter Vrancken is satisfied with his acquisitions. Sheldon Bateau, Yannick Thoelen, Dante Vanzeir, Jordi Vanlerberghe, Issa Kabore and Gepffry Hairemans: these are the six names that the PhD student came to reinforce this summer. “All those boys came to Mechelen with the right mentality,” Vrancken was satisfied.
With a third place in the ranking and an eleven out of eighteen, KV Mechelen is one of the most pleasant surprises in the competition. On the previous match day against Mouscron, KV Mechelen gave a defensive picture of what it also gave in other games. From the field game it was not played too much out of context, but in the final phase it was twice vulnerable on a corner. At one of those two times, the visitors scored the late equalizer.
It was a still phase in which we were not in a good position defensively. Although the other goal was also avoidable “, Vrancken did not want to go into it too deeply at first. Although the KVM trainer cannot ignore the trend. “We don’t give much away, but there are those corner kicks. That has already been raised very fiercely. It is also somewhat a matter of the player material that is present or not present in that area due to circumstances. Due to the lack of Van Damme we are missing some form. He could clean up a lot otherwise. ”
