Kortrijk vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
We finish the matchday at 3 PM with a duel between Kortrijk and Gent. Can Kortrijk flush the first loss under the new trainer with a new victory? How does Ghent do after the heavy cup party this week?
Kortrijk :
Since Kortrijk changed trainer, it did not lose. She secretly hoped for a fight for the top six. They had to make the very difficult trip to Sclessin last weekend. With a match against Ghent, you can not lose. With profit they come to three points of their opponent and so they do even more for the top six.
Kortrijk is therefore visiting Standard for a fierce battle. Kortrijk got the first big chance of the game and that resulted in a goal against the course of the game. Hannes Van der Bruggen saw the free standing Teddy Chevalier and the Frenchman pushed the ball in cold-blooded. Just past the hour, the game tilted when Pelé Mboyo handed hands, involuntarily or involuntarily, in the sixteen. Kortrijk fought for what it was worth but the race lasted one minute too long.
That decision by e VAR has changed the game. “What if the same happened in the other sixteen meters?” According to the trainer of Kortrijk. ‘Look: without VAR there was no penalty. Moreover, it was an ordinary duel, the hands were not deliberate. A lot of time passes and under pressure from Standard the ball is put on the dot. It does not work like that, hey, boys. You have to remain honest, decide what has to be decided. You will notice that other decisions are taken in the competitions against the top clubs. ‘
Gent:
Ghent came out well from the winter break. It won more than earned against Anderlecht last weekend and so entered the top six. This week it had to be full in the first leg of the semi-final of the cup. It became a real cup match. Four goals, three red cards. The spectators in the Ghelamco Arena got their money’s worth. Ghent was the best team to their first red card. The next week, however, has to be full in the return match, but also the competition is important to stay in the top six.
‘A duel with a lot of battle, as can be expected in a half cup final’, grinned Brecht Dejaegere. ‘Ostend started sharper and finer than we did. That is something we have to remember for the Wednesday match. Look, I’ve been playing long enough to know what it’s like to play a semi-final in the cup, this is my sixth time. Every game must simply be top in this phase. Next week we have to be sharp and concentrated from minute one. ‘
Roman Bezus was present at the Ghelamco Arena last night to attend the cup match between his new club AA Gent and KV Oostende. It was last night to wait for one last STVV paper, but the Ukrainian’s transition is complete. Bezus plays the next 3.5 years for the Buffalo’s. Conversely, last night Mamadou Sylla had to wait in Sint-Truiden for one last paper to complete his temporary transition to STVV. Normally, Roman Bezus is eligible for AA Gent on Sunday evening at Kortrijk.
